Amazing work here. I see this post as absolute gold! I have been wondering on how to integrate some kind of JS framework into phoenix for a long time. Thanks for sharing!

Happy to see that Simon :)
The cool thing about this method is that it enables you to use any JS framework with your Phoenix app and it doesn't couple them together.
I've seen several tutorials where folks were hooking up the React pipeline within the Phoenix assets pipeline. While this is a super valid approach, it felt to me like a limitation to some extend since we would need to use whatever build tool Phoenix is using at the time.

I totally agree. I am just now trying this setup with elm, to reach untold hipster stack heights!
