Yes, I think the Phoenix guys would rather you forwarded to an OTP app than build a mechanism for plugins.

I think no-one builds their apps this way yet so maybe it needs more explanation.

I find this thread a little confusing. That sample application is using Ueberauth (https://github.com/ueberauth) which appears to be a rich plugin-based authentication framework with many preexisting plugins. You don't run the sample application, you use the framework.

The point is it's not fantastically quick to drop in, in the example app look at the UserFromAuth helper - it's definitely not simple and contains a load of gotchas I'd struggle to deal with from the ueberauth documentation.

The grand parent was asking about a template/hackable starter kit with batteries included. That setup of ueberauth is the best I've found sadly.
