What is the lifecycle of a request?

[SimonLab]

I'm looking at adding a manifest.json file to a phoenix application to create a PWA. However the mix phx.digest creates alaready a cahce_manifest.json file in the priv directory.

At the moment it is not clear (or I forgot) what is the difference between the assets folder and the priv folder. I also need to remember how Phoenix render static assets and how the lifecycle of a request/response works with Phoenix.

• Add documentation in Readme how Phoenix manage assets
