generate new controller not working in phoenix-elixir?

Good day, I have been trying hard to generate a new controller in phoenix with elixir, but I'm getting this error:

The task "phoenix.gen.controller" could not be found

but I can manually create the file which I do not know the breakdown of doing it.

I'm using:

Elixir 1.2.6
Erlang OTP 18

Will appreciate any help

First of all, did you add Phoenix into your mix.exs? If so, there's no phoenix.gen.controller task, but for generating controllers you have two options- using html for generating controller with HTML view or json for preparing API with JSON.

Go check this out.

I mentioned about two of these:

mix phoenix.gen.html    # Generates controller, model and views for an HTML based resource
mix phoenix.gen.json    # Generates a controller and model for a JSON based resource
