MissionControl

A demo project exploring Ash Framework actions through functional programming concepts.

See the blog post Ash Framework: A Closer Look at Actions

This project demonstrates how Ash actions operate as Either pipelines, using superhero dispatch as a practical example of multi-resource operations, Kleisli composition, and closure under context.

Prerequisites

• Elixir 1.15 or later
• Erlang/OTP compatible with your Elixir version

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository and navigate to the project:

   git clone https://github.com/JKWA/ash-actions.git
   cd ash-actions

2. Install dependencies:

   mix setup

3. Start the Phoenix server:

   mix phx.server

   Or run inside IEx for interactive exploration:

   iex -S mix phx.server

4. Visit localhost:4000 from your browser.

Web UI

The app uses Ash Actions to enforce domain rules and report problems. A typical UI would hide invalid actions, this one does not. Instead, it allows all actions and reports domain errors.
