When should I generate a mix umbrella vs a phoenix umbrella?

Question

I'm not sure when to use mix and when to use phoenix for creating umbrella applications.

I have read a lot of articles online but they are not clear of the reasoning for using mix over phoenix and vis versa.

mix gives:

- apps/
- config/

phoenix gives:

- build/dev/(consolidated/lib)
- apps/(app_name/app_name_web)
- config/(configs for different envs)
- deps/(stuffffff)

mix new [UMBRELLA NAME] --umbrella VS mix phx.new [UMBRELLA NAME] --umbrella

If I want to generate an umbrella that has an application that will serve html/json, how should I look at these commands?

归根结底，他们都是同一回事。所不同的是，Phoenix已经生成了一个包含两个应用程序的伞，一个用于您的域，另一个用于网络，如果您运行，则mix new必须手工组装所有内容。因此，如果您要构建Web应用程序，请使用Phoenix，因为它可以使您在设置所有内容时抢先一步。
