![Cover image for Let's Build An Instagram Clone With The PETAL(Phoenix, Elixir, TailwindCSS, AlpineJS, LiveView) Stack [PART 6]](https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=1000,height=420,fit=cover,gravity=auto,format=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Ftxdibq59mbi71hy70mdg.jpg)
In part 5 we added the show-post page, in this part, we will work on the homepage. You can catch up with the Instagram Clone GitHub Repo.
Let's start by adding a function to our posts context to get the feed and another one to get the total number of the feed, open lib/instagram_clone/posts.ex:
@doc """
Returns the list of paginated posts of a given user id
And posts of following list of given user id
With user and likes preloaded
With 2 most recent comments preloaded with user and likes
User, page, and per_page are given with the socket assigns
## Examples
iex> get_accounts_feed(following_list, assigns)
[%{photo_url: "", url_id: ""}, ...]
"""
def get_accounts_feed(following_list, assigns) do
user = assigns.current_user
page = assigns.page
per_page = assigns.per_page
query =
from c in Comment,
select: %{id: c.id, row_number: over(row_number(), :posts_partition)},
windows: [posts_partition: [partition_by: :post_id, order_by: [desc: :id]]]
comments_query =
from c in Comment,
join: r in subquery(query),
on: c.id == r.id and r.row_number <= 2
Post
|> where([p], p.user_id in ^following_list)
|> or_where([p], p.user_id == ^user.id)
|> limit(^per_page)
|> offset(^((page - 1) * per_page))
|> order_by(desc: :id)
|> preload([:user, :likes, comments: ^{comments_query, [:user, :likes]}])
|> Repo.all()
end
def get_accounts_feed_total(following_list, assigns) do
user = assigns.current_user
Post
|> where([p], p.user_id in ^following_list)
|> or_where([p], p.user_id == ^user.id)
|> select([p], count(p.id))
|> Repo.one()
end
We need the list of following, inside lib/instagram_clone/accounts.ex add the following function:
@doc """
Returns the list of following user ids
## Examples
iex> get_following_list(user)
[3, 2, 1]
"""
def get_following_list(user) do
Follows
|> select([f], f.followed_id)
|> where(follower_id: ^user.id)
|> Repo.all()
end
Inside lib/instagram_clone_web/live/page_live.ex let's assign the feed:
alias InstagramClone.Uploaders.Avatar
alias InstagramClone.Accounts
alias InstagramCloneWeb.UserLive.FollowComponent
alias InstagramClone.Posts
alias InstagramCloneWeb.Live.LikeComponent
@impl true
def mount(_params, session, socket) do
socket = assign_defaults(session, socket)
{:ok,
socket
|> assign(page: 1, per_page: 15),
temporary_assigns: [user_feed: []]}
end
@impl true
def handle_params(_params, _uri, socket) do
{:noreply,
socket
|> assign(live_action: apply_action(socket.assigns.current_user))
|> assign_posts()}
end
defp apply_action(current_user) do
if !current_user, do: :root_path
end
defp assign_posts(socket) do
if socket.assigns.current_user do
current_user = socket.assigns.current_user
following_list = Accounts.get_following_list(current_user)
accounts_feed_total = Posts.get_accounts_feed_total(following_list, socket.assigns)
socket
|> assign(following_list: following_list)
|> assign(accounts_feed_total: accounts_feed_total)
|> assign_user_feed()
else
socket
end
end
defp assign_user_feed(socket, following_list) do
user_feed = Posts.get_accounts_feed(socket.assigns.following_list, socket.assigns)
socket |> assign(user_feed: user_feed)
end
Page and per page were assigned to the socket in our mount function. We are checking if a user is logged in to get the following list and pass it to the assign feed function to return the socket with the feed assigned, we do that in our handle params function.
Now let's create a component for posts feed, inside our live folder add the following files:
lib/instagram_clone_web/live/page_post_feed_component.ex
lib/instagram_clone_web/live/page_post_feed_component.html.leex
Inside lib/instagram_clone_web/live/page_live.html.leex:
<%= if @current_user do %>
<section class="flex">
<div id="user-feed" class="w-3/5" phx-update="append">
<%= for post <- @user_feed do %>
<%= live_component @socket,
InstagramCloneWeb.Live.PagePostFeedComponent,
post: post,
id: post.id,
current_user: @current_user %>
<% end %>
</div>
</section>
<div
id="profile-posts-footer"
class="flex justify-center"
phx-hook="ProfilePostsScroll">
</div>
<% else %>
<%= live_component @socket,
InstagramCloneWeb.PageLiveComponent,
id: 1 %>
<% end %>
Inside lib/instagram_clone_web/live/page_post_feed_component.ex:
defmodule InstagramCloneWeb.Live.PagePostFeedComponent do
use InstagramCloneWeb, :live_component
alias InstagramClone.Uploaders.Avatar
alias InstagramClone.Comments
alias InstagramClone.Comments.Comment
@impl true
def mount(socket) do
{:ok,
socket
|> assign(changeset: Comments.change_comment(%Comment{})),
temporary_assigns: [comments: []]}
end
@impl true
def handle_event("save", %{"comment" => comment_param}, socket) do
%{"body" => body} = comment_param
current_user = socket.assigns.current_user
post = socket.assigns.post
if body == "" do
{:noreply, socket}
else
comment = Comments.create_comment(current_user, post, comment_param)
{:noreply,
socket
|> update(:comments, fn comments -> [comment | comments] end)
|> assign(changeset: Comments.change_comment(%Comment{}))}
end
end
end
We are setting the form changeset and temporary comments that we will use to append new comments. The save handle function is the same one that we used on our show page.
Inside lib/instagram_clone_web/live/page_post_feed_component.html.leex:

We are using the same form to add new comments that we used on our show page, and we are looping through the post comments and the temporary comments to be able to update the comments when a new one is added.
We need to handle the messages sent from the like component when we like a post or a comment, also we have to handle the event triggered with a hook to load more posts, update lib/instagram_clone_web/live/page_live.ex to the following:
defmodule InstagramCloneWeb.PageLive do
use InstagramCloneWeb, :live_view
alias InstagramClone.Uploaders.Avatar
alias InstagramClone.Accounts
alias InstagramCloneWeb.UserLive.FollowComponent
alias InstagramClone.Posts
alias InstagramCloneWeb.Live.LikeComponent
@impl true
def mount(_params, session, socket) do
socket = assign_defaults(session, socket)
{:ok,
socket
|> assign(page: 1, per_page: 15),
temporary_assigns: [user_feed: []]}
end
@impl true
def handle_params(_params, _uri, socket) do
{:noreply,
socket
|> assign(live_action: apply_action(socket.assigns.current_user))
|> assign_posts()}
end
@impl true
def handle_event("load-more-profile-posts", _, socket) do
{:noreply, socket |> load_posts}
end
defp load_posts(socket) do
total_posts = socket.assigns.accounts_feed_total
page = socket.assigns.page
per_page = socket.assigns.per_page
total_pages = ceil(total_posts / per_page)
if page == total_pages do
socket
else
socket
|> update(:page, &(&1 + 1))
|> assign_user_feed()
end
end
@impl true
def handle_info({LikeComponent, :update_comment_likes, _}, socket) do
{:noreply, socket}
end
@impl true
def handle_info({LikeComponent, :update_post_likes, post}, socket) do
post_feed = Posts.get_post_feed!(post.id)
{:noreply,
socket
|> update(:user_feed, fn user_feed -> [post_feed | user_feed] end)}
end
defp apply_action(current_user) do
if !current_user, do: :root_path
end
defp assign_posts(socket) do
if socket.assigns.current_user do
current_user = socket.assigns.current_user
following_list = Accounts.get_following_list(current_user)
accounts_feed_total = Posts.get_accounts_feed_total(following_list, socket.assigns)
socket
|> assign(following_list: following_list)
|> assign(accounts_feed_total: accounts_feed_total)
|> assign_user_feed()
else
socket
end
end
defp assign_user_feed(socket) do
user_feed = Posts.get_accounts_feed(socket.assigns.following_list, socket.assigns)
socket |> assign(user_feed: user_feed)
end
end
Let's make some changes to our like component, because we are sharing it between posts and comments, move the file to the live folder outside the post_live folder and rename the module to the following:
lib/instagram_clone_web/live/like_component.ex
defmodule InstagramCloneWeb.Live.LikeComponent do
Inside lib/instagram_clone_web/live/post_live/show.html.leex on line 70 rename the component:
...
InstagramCloneWeb.Live.LikeComponent,
...
Inside lib/instagram_clone_web/live/post_live/comment_component.html.leex on line 24 also rename the component:
...
InstagramCloneWeb.PostLive.LikeComponent,
...
Inside lib/instagram_clone_web/live/like_component.ex, let's update send_msg() to send the liked as variable instead of just the id:
...
defp send_msg(liked) do
msg = get_struct_msg_atom(liked)
send(self(), {__MODULE__, msg, liked})
end
...
Also inside lib/instagram_clone_web/live/like_component.ex, let's delete the liked?() function and instead let's check if the user id is inside of a list of user ids on line 61:
...
if assigns.current_user.id in assigns.liked.likes do # LINE 61
# DELETE THIS FUNCTION WE WON"T NEED ANYMORE
# Enum.any?(likes, fn l ->
# l.user_id == user_id
# end)
...
And on line 30 let's update to check the database:
...
if Likes.liked?(current_user.id, liked.id) do
...
Our new updated file should look like the following:
defmodule InstagramCloneWeb.Live.LikeComponent do
use InstagramCloneWeb, :live_component
alias InstagramClone.Likes
@impl true
def update(assigns, socket) do
get_btn_status(socket, assigns)

def liked?(user_id, liked_id) do
Repo.get_by(Like, [user_id: user_id, liked_id: liked_id])
end
end
Let's add a sidebar with 5 random users suggestion, inside lib/instagram_clone/accounts.ex add the following function:
def random_5(user) do
following_list = get_following_list(user)
User
|> where([u], u.id not in ^following_list)
|> where([u], u.id != ^user.id)
|> order_by(desc: fragment("Random()"))
|> limit(5)
|> Repo.all()
end
Inside lib/instagram_clone_web/live/page_live.ex add a handle_info() and update the private assign_posts() function to the following:
...
@impl true
def handle_info({FollowComponent, :update_totals, _}, socket) do
{:noreply, socket}
end
defp assign_posts(socket) do
if socket.assigns.current_user do
current_user = socket.assigns.current_user
random_5_users = Accounts.random_5(current_user)
socket
|> assign(users: random_5_users)
|> assign_user_feed()
else
socket
end
end
Now to display the sidebar with the random users update Inside lib/instagram_clone_web/live/page_live.html.leex to the following:
<%= if @current_user do %>
<section class="flex">
<div id="user-feed" class="w-3/5" phx-update="append">
<%= for post <- @user_feed do %>
<%= live_component @socket,
InstagramCloneWeb.Live.PagePostFeedComponent,

<% end %>
</div>
<div>
<sidebar class="fixed w-1/4">
<section class=" ml-auto pl-8">
<div class="flex items-center">
<!-- Post header section -->
<%= live_redirect to: Routes.user_profile_path(@socket, :index, @current_user.username) do %>

</div>
<span class="ml-auto">
<%= live_component @socket,
InstagramCloneWeb.UserLive.FollowComponent,

</span>
<!-- End post header section -->
</div>
<% end %>
</section>
</sidebar>
</div>
</section>
<div

class="flex justify-center"
phx-hook="ProfilePostsScroll">
</div>
<% else %>
<%= live_component @socket,
InstagramCloneWeb.PageLiveComponent,

<% end %>
That's it for now, you could improve the code by making it more efficient by sending the following list to the follow component, to set the button without having to go to the database.
I really appreciate your time, thank you so much for reading.

I highly recommend exploring the official Phoenix documentation on Channels and LiveView for a deep dive into real-time functionalities. Tools like Phoenix Presence can also enhance your app by showing who's online in real-time. Remember, experimentation is key. And since we're on the topic of exploring new territories, if you're curious about diversifying your knowledge and exploring content platforms, perhaps you might wonder, what is fansly? It's an interesting study in building community-centric platforms, which could inspire unique features for our clone.
thanks for this nice content.
