View-less meaning Phoenix.View module is refactored/replaced. The amount of boilerplate code is still a challenge in Phoenix.
Worked on a large project using live views.
Pros:
- can achieve interactivity without using client side js frameworks
- less developers / man power needed compared to client side js frameworks
- evolving in right direction
- community / forums
Cons:
- still evolving and releases are breaking (no backward compatibility).
- the amount of boilerplate code which is generated is too high.
- forms are basic and need to evolve for handling challenges which come with Server side rendering and interactivity
- there was leex, then heex, now components taking centre stage.
- most of the books, tutorials, videos, articles are stale due to frequent changes / evolution
Elixir/Phoenix Community is small and non toxic on forums. But sometimes the size of community is drawback. Some questions get fewer replies and will be a puzzle for the developer who is working on the project (this does not happen frequently).
Anyone who wants to adopt Live View for production projects will have to overcome these challenges.
