Phoenix Ecto how to handle NoResultsError

Can catch the error using try, rescue as well

def show(conn,%{"id" => id}) do
    try do
      result =
        Repo.get!(MyModel, id)

      {:ok, result}
    rescue
      Ecto.NoResultsError ->
        {:error, :not_found, "No result found"}
    end
end

Use get instead of get! and handle the logic when it returns nil:

def show(conn,%{"id" => id}) do
  case Repo.get(MyModel, id) do
    nil -> # return null and 404 
    record -> # do something with record        
  end
end
