Phoenix Code Review
Quick Reference
| Issue Type | Reference |
|---|---|
| Bounded contexts, Ecto integration | references/contexts.md |
| Actions, params, error handling | references/controllers.md |
| Pipelines, scopes, verified routes | references/routing.md |
| Custom plugs, authentication | references/plugs.md |
Review Checklist
Controllers
- Business logic in contexts, not controllers
- Controllers return proper HTTP status codes
- Action clauses handle all expected patterns
- Fallback controllers handle errors consistently
Contexts
- Contexts are bounded by domain, not technical layer
- Public functions have clear, domain-focused names
- Changesets validate all user input
- No Ecto queries in controllers
Routing
- Verified routes (~p sigil) used, not string paths
- Pipelines group related plugs
- Resources use only needed actions
- Scopes group related routes
Plugs
- Authentication/authorization via plugs
- Plugs are composable and single-purpose
- Halt called after sending response in plugs
JSON APIs
- Proper content negotiation
- Consistent error response format
- Pagination for list endpoints
Valid Patterns (Do NOT Flag)
- Controller calling multiple contexts - Valid for orchestration
- Inline Ecto query in context - Context owns its data access
- Using
action_fallback- Centralized error handling pattern - Multiple pipelines per route - Composition is intentional
Plug.Conn.halt/1without send - May be handled by fallback
Context-Sensitive Rules
| Issue | Flag ONLY IF |
|---|---|
| Missing changeset validation | Field accepts user input AND no validation exists |
| Controller too large | More than 7 actions OR actions > 20 lines |
| Missing authorization | Route is not public AND no auth plug in pipeline |
