# Phoenix Patterns

Idiomatic Phoenix patterns extracted from the [Phoenix source code](https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix) with verified file:line citations.

## Structure

- `patterns/` — Phoenix-specific patterns (Endpoint, Router, Controller, Channel, Plug pipeline, Telemetry)
- `patterns/deviations.md` — Where Phoenix deliberately differs from Elixir core conventions and why
- `patterns/comparison.md` — Side-by-side Elixir core vs Phoenix patterns
- `changelog/` — Daily digest of merged Phoenix PRs with discussion summaries

## Philosophy

These rules are derived from what the Phoenix source code *actually does*, not opinions or blog posts. Every pattern cites specific files and line numbers.

When unsure how to do something in Phoenix, look at how Phoenix itself does it.
