Webpack or frontend integration guide
From 1 comment
So as i see, this is like a Rails framework with static type checking. Best of both worlds ! I'd love to see a guide on integrating with webpack or any frontend tech in the stack.

roebk on HNYou make a good point, and this is one of the reasons why I really like the Phoenix web framework (of the Elixir ecosystem). It firmly guides you towards building applications…
