What is Phoenix LiveView Real-Time
Phoenix LiveView is a framework feature that enables building real-time, interactive web UIs with Elixir/Phoenix, without writing JavaScript. You write Elixir templates that auto-sync with the browser when state changes. User interactions (clicks, form submissions) send messages to the server, which updates state and re-renders the template. It's a radical simplification compared to React/Vue. No state management libraries (Redux, Vuex). No build tools or transpilation. No frontend/backend mismatch. Just Elixir on both sides.
