In this episode of ElixirMix, we catch up with Devon Estes to learn what he’s doing with Credo. Devon talks about creating custom Credo checks for the benefit of our teams and projects. We cover his project Nicene that defines additional Credo checks, learn tips like using git to only run checks on modified files and much more!

Correios CEP allows to find Brazilian addresses by zip code, directly from Correios API. No HTML parsers.

Now you can find address using a proxy.

# Not using a proxy
iex> Correios.CEP.find_address("54250610")
{:ok,
 %Correios.CEP.Address{
   city: "Jaboatão dos Guararapes",
   complement: "",
   neighborhood: "Cavaleiro",
   state: "PE",
   street: "Rua Fernando Amorim",
   zipcode: "54250610"
 }}

# Using a proxy
iex> Correios.CEP.find_address("54250610", proxy: {"myproxyhost", 8888})
{:ok,
 %Correios.CEP.Address{
   city: "Jaboatão dos Guararapes",
   complement: "",
   neighborhood: "Cavaleiro",
   state: "PE",
   street: "Rua Fernando Amorim",
   zipcode: "54250610"
 }}

# Using a proxy with authentication
iex> Correios.CEP.find_address("54250610", proxy: {"myproxyhost", 8888}, proxy_auth: {"myuser", "mypass"})
{:ok,
 %Correios.CEP.Address{
   city: "Jaboatão dos Guararapes",
   complement: "",
   neighborhood: "Cavaleiro",
   state: "PE",
   street: "Rua Fernando Amorim",
   zipcode: "54250610"
 }}

This has been a pretty long-running hobby project of mine: A real world traffic light that shows the status of our CI server. I think I maintained and overengineered this for almost a decade and implemented it with various hardware and programming languages.

The newest iteration is done in Elixir, with the help of Nerves and Phoenix.

Changelog

Enhancements

• Convert annotator.ModuleAttribute to Kotlin
• Apply optional Kotlin transformations.

Bug Fixes

• Check if at least one resolution for module attribute references is valid

  Previously, it was checked if module attributes resolved to exactly one declaration, but this is no longer true with the looser reference resolution that allows invalid results for PisPolyVariantReference. resolve() will return null when there is more than one result from multiResolve even if some are invalid, so we need to explicitly check if the PsiReference is a PsiPolyVariantReference and if so check if any are valid.

• Fix deprecation warnings for annotator.ModuleAttribute.
• Quick fixes for inlinables in annotator.ModuleAttribute.
• Fix iex and erl arguments not being saved for IEx Mix Run Configurations.

Seen a ticket in the repo a few weeks back and thought I would take a stab at showing people how easy it is to use Bamboo as your mailer in Elixir.

I am glad to announce the first Telemetria release. https://hexdocs.pm/telemetria

It takes care of event registration (through compilation manifest), runtime and release configs (through config provider), and basically allows to wrap any expressions and/or functions to “telemetryized” calls.

If you hesitated to add telemetry to your project, it’s a great time. Example from docs:

defmodule MyMod do
  import Telemetria

  defpt pi, do: 3.14
  deft answer, do: 42 - pi()

  def inner do
    short_result = t(42 * 42)
    result =
      t do
        # long calculations
        :ok
      end
  end
end

Enjoy. Feedback is very welcome, as always.

I’m writing a series on adding a contact form to a Phoenix 1.4+ application. This first post covers the schema and how I approach data modeling in Phoenix applications that use Ecto. I hope you find it useful 💜

Bug Fixes

• Support diffs in pattern matching added in Elixir 1.10.0 in the ExUnit formatter. Ports elixir-lang/[email protected].

Big forms are a pain to manage— even harder to manage when you need to change values based on previous input and compute data based on that new selection. Phoenix LiveView can make this easier. Check out some techniques I used to help organize big forms.
