Artprize Voting App (Phoenix Framework/GenServer version)

Demo for GRDevDay 2015

See the accompanying slides here.

To start your new Phoenix application:

1. Install dependencies with mix deps.get
2. Start Phoenix endpoint with mix phoenix.server

Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.

The demo app contains a single endpoint, /vote that accepts a POST to make a new vote, and a GET to see the current winner.

To make a vote, make a post to the API:

curl -X POST \
  -F user_id=12 \
  -F entry_id=45 \
  -F location[lat]=-85.6 \
  -F location[lng]=43.0 \
  http://localhost:4000/vote

When you visit votes in the URL, you should see your vote totals!
