Description

The patterns from the Phoenix integration are very applicable to other server-side / full-stack frameworks. Particularly integrating Electric via URL and serving a route that then returns authorised config to the Electric client.

Popular frameworks would include:

  • Rails
  • Laravel
  • Django
  • Spring Boot
  • ... etc. ...

If the framework also has a LiveView style system then the Phoenix.Streams integration may be portable / applicable too.

Research direction
The task involves adding documentation for integrating Electric SQL with other server side web frameworks, following the existing Phoenix integration as a template. The current Phoenix integration documentation is at https://electric sql.com/docs/integrations/phoenix. The issue lists Rails, Laravel, Django, and Spring Boot as examples. The documentation should cover URL based integration and serving a route for authorized config. If the framework has a LiveView like system, the Phoenix.Streams integration pattern may also be applicable. Since the issue is open with no comments or PRs, a contributor should first clarify the scope with maintainers, possibly by asking which frameworks are prioritized and what specific format is desired.
