Lean Panda is currently developing a number of Elixir applications using Phoenix LiveView. Working with LiveView is a pleasure, but we still have some unsolved situations, or, at least, we don’t have a standard way of solving them.

On this article, we implement authentication and authorisation in Liveview, explaining the code and our decisions.
