BeaconCMS/beacon

Beacon is a Phoenix-based CMS and web framework that enables the creation of dynamic, live-updating websites using Phoenix LiveView. It provides a comprehensive content management system with support for custom templates, media libraries, and declarative action execution. The system features a modernized architecture with a platform-agnostic template AST, a GraphQL data layer, and a native CSS compiler for Tailwind styles, all managed through a centralized configuration and lifecycle hooks.

This period focused on modernizing the codebase by upgrading to Phoenix 1.7 and LiveView 1.0, which necessitated the removal of legacy Ecto schemas, templates, and web modules. The work introduced the foundational Beacon CMS core library, including lifecycle management, caching, and content handling, while simultaneously expanding the test suite to support the new architecture.

The media library was redesigned to support external storage providers and automated image processing, while comprehensive test coverage was added across the new lifecycle, template, and type systems.
