PHOENIX TIGHTENS LINK VALIDATION, LIVE VIEW DOCS EXPAND

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Elixir & Phoenix

Phoenix Live View shipped URL scheme validation for navigate and patch operations, closing a surface area for malformed routing.

The Live View team hardened the <.link> component [1] to validate URL schemes before navigation, preventing accidental routing bugs and potential security issues from malformed URIs. This lands alongside a URI conversion fix in the live_redirect test helper [2] that ensures URI structs are properly stringified in test contexts, addressing a regression that caught several test suites off guard.

Documentation work expanded significantly with a new dedicated section on hooks and JS commands in dead views [3], finally giving official guidance to developers using phx-hook and Phoenix.LiveView.JS on regular HTML pages instead of LiveViews. The framework team also swept through typo fixes across both repos [4] [5], keeping the codebase clean.

On the Phoenix core side, backward compatibility testing got refactored [6] for template overrides, strengthening confidence in the code generation pipeline that powers phx.gen.auth and other generators.
