The Complete Guide to Nested Forms in Phoenix

I recently spent some time dealing with nested forms in Phoenix. Nested forms are great when you want to create multiple database records in a single transaction and associate them with each other. I am new to Phoenix and really struggled to find any resources that helped me with my specific problem. I decided to document what I learned in the process in hopes of helping others that are new to Elixir and Phoenix.

Here is my attempt at a one stop shop to learn everything you will need to know about nested forms. If you would like to view the GitHub repo you can check it out here.

Thanks to Heartbeat and Jose for excellent blog posts on nested forms. Also shoutout to Josh for showing me some examples at Ruby

	import React from 'react';
	import Divider from '@material-ui/core/Divider';
	import styled from 'styled-components';

	const StyledDivider = styled(Divider)`
	color: white
	`

	export default function App( ) {

	ImportData
	GET /plex/import/sections
	Request URL https://plex.mjrflix.com/library/sections?X-Plex-Token=testPlexApiToken
	import sec response undefined
	Sections response []
	1) should find and store sections in the database

	import chai from 'chai';
	import nock from 'nock';
	import app from '../../../../index';
	import importData from '../../../../server/services/plex/importData';
	import models from '../../../../server/db/models';
	import { seed, truncate } from '../../../../server/db/scripts';
	import * as nocks from '../../../nocks';

	// // before(() => truncate('PlexSection'));
	describe('ImportData', () => {

	# Your init script
	#
	# Atom will evaluate this file each time a new window is opened. It is run
	# after packages are loaded/activated and after the previous editor state
	# has been restored.
	#
	# An example hack to log to the console when each text editor is saved.
	#
	# atom.workspace.observeTextEditors (editor) ->
	# editor.onDidSave ->

	// Use Gists to store code you would like to remember later on
	console.log(window); // log the "window" object to the console
