to_elixir is a super simple Rails rake task that inspects your existing Rails application and generates a Elixir / Phoenix JSON API.
Add gem :to_elixir to your Gemfile and run bundle install
rake to_elixir:phoenix APP_NAME=<NAME>
Where <NAME> is the name of your new Elixir app.
This will create a folder <NAME> in the root of your Rails application.
Simply run the command, wait a tick and then move the resulting folder somewhere else.
Enter the new Elixir app and run iex -S mix phoenix.server to boot your Elixir app.
Load up your new app at http://localhost:4000/api/<EXISTING_RESOURCE_NAME> and boom; simple json api.
rake to_elixir:timestamps
If you'd like to convert your existing Rails-based DB over to Phoenix just run the above command.
This will create a Rails migration that renames :created_at to :inserted_at
It can be rolled back (rake db:rollback) and is non-destructive.
Update config/dev.exs to point to your migrated Rails DB and viola; data in your simple json api.
