To be safe from this in Phoenix that would look like this right?

    def profile(conn = %{method: "GET"}, params) do
      # ...
    end

    def profile(conn = %{method: "POST"}, %{"user" => user_params) do
      # ...
    end

This would be in a case where your router looks like:

    get "/profile", UserController, :profile, as: :user
    post "/profile", UserController, :profile, as: :user

That's what I'm doing in my code base at the moment. Mainly thanks to Changelog open sourcing their platform, and you can see that pattern being used here: https://github.com/thechangelog/changelog.com/blob/f9b0a7587...

The above seems like the natural way to do it with Phoenix once you get a hang of pattern matching.

Yep, that’s the way!
