PhoenixKitCatalogue
Catalogue module for PhoenixKit — product catalogue management with manufacturers, suppliers, categories, and items.
Designed for manufacturing companies (e.g. kitchen/furniture producers) that need to organize materials and components from multiple manufacturers and suppliers.
Features
- Catalogues — top-level groupings (e.g. "Kitchen Furniture", "Plumbing")
- Categories — subdivisions within a catalogue with manual position ordering
- Items — individual products with SKU, pricing, unit of measure, and manufacturer
- Manufacturers — company directory with many-to-many supplier linking
- Suppliers — delivery companies linked to manufacturers
- Soft-delete — catalogues, categories, and items support trash/restore with cascading
- Multilingual — all translatable fields use PhoenixKit's multilang system
- Move operations — move categories between catalogues, items between categories
- Zero-config discovery — auto-discovered by PhoenixKit via beam scanning
Installation
Add to your parent app's mix.exs:
{:phoenix_kit_catalogue, "~> 0.1.0"}Then:
mix deps.getDevelopment: During local development, you can use a path dependency instead:
{:phoenix_kit_catalogue, path: "../phoenix_kit_catalogue"}
The module auto-discovers via beam scanning. Enable it in Admin > Modules.
Data Model
Manufacturer (1) ──< ManufacturerSupplier >── (1) Supplier
│ (many-to-many)
│
└──────────────────────────────┐
│
Catalogue (1) ──> Category (many) ──> Item (many)
│ ├── belongs_to Category (optional)
│ └── belongs_to Manufacturer (optional)
└── position-ordered, soft-deletable
All tables use UUIDv7 primary keys and are prefixed with phoenix_kit_cat_*.
Status Values
| Entity | Statuses |
|---|---|
| Catalogue | active, archived, deleted |
| Category | active, deleted |
| Item | active, inactive, discontinued, deleted |
| Manufacturer | active, inactive |
| Supplier | active, inactive |
Soft-Delete System
First delete sets status to "deleted" (recoverable). Permanent delete removes from DB.
Cascade Behaviour
Downward on trash/permanent-delete:
- Trash catalogue -> trashes all categories + all items
- Trash category -> trashes all items
- Permanently delete follows the same cascade
Upward on restore:
- Restore item -> restores its deleted parent category
- Restore category -> restores its deleted parent catalogue + all items
All cascading operations run in database transactions.
API
The public API lives in PhoenixKitCatalogue.Catalogue. Every function has @doc documentation — use h/1 in IEx to explore.

The module registers admin tabs via PhoenixKit.Module:
| Path | View |
|---|---|
/admin/catalogue | Catalogue list with Active/Deleted tabs |
/admin/catalogue/new | New catalogue form |
/admin/catalogue/:uuid | Catalogue detail with categories, items, status tabs |
/admin/catalogue/:uuid/edit | Edit catalogue + permanent delete |
/admin/catalogue/manufacturers | Manufacturer list |
/admin/catalogue/suppliers | Supplier list |
/admin/catalogue/categories/:uuid/edit | Edit category + move + permanent delete |
/admin/catalogue/items/:uuid/edit | Edit item + move |
All forms support multilingual content when the Languages module is enabled.
Database & Migrations
This package contains no database migrations. All tables (phoenix_kit_cat_*) and migrations are managed by the parent phoenix_kit project. This module only defines Ecto schemas that map to those tables.
Tests
mix test
The test database must be created and migrated by the parent phoenix_kit project first.
83 tests covering:
- Full CRUD for all entities
- Cascading soft-delete (downward) and restore (upward + downward)
- Permanent delete cascading
- Move operations (category between catalogues, item between categories)
- Deleted counts
- Schema validations (status, unit, price, SKU uniqueness, name length)
- Manufacturer-supplier link sync
