Views, Templates, and LiveView Basics

Web applications aren't static! You need ways to display changing data, like user profiles or product lists. This is where views and templates come in.

They work together to transform raw data from your application into the beautiful HTML that users see in their browsers.

In Phoenix, a View is an Elixir module responsible for preparing data before it's rendered into a template. Think of it as a middleman between your controller and the final HTML.

Views can:

• Format dates or numbers.
• Create dynamic links or URLs.
• Transform complex data structures into simpler ones for display.
