Application Inventory

So far, we’ve spent all of our time on the backend service that manages products in our catalog. We were lucky because we could focus our exploration on a single API, the Catalog context.

In the LiveView, we’re not so lucky. There are nearly a dozen files that we need to worry about. It would be nice to start with a common interface for our user-facing features.

It turns out we do have such an interface, but it’s not an Elixir API. Instead, it’s a list of the routes a user can access. That’s right, the routes in pento/lib/pento_web/router.ex are an API.

Let’s take a look at the LiveView routes we generated in the last few lessons.
