I wrote a blog post about productivity tips for Elixir. It’s a round-up of techniques I’ve discovered while working on my first few Elixir projects.

Please check it out and lemme know what you think!

I released a small web site GitStat built with Elixir 1.5. The site provides statistics on how many repositories are contained in GitHub per a programming language. The statistics data stored in DETS and is being updated from GitHub on daily basis using new GraphQL Api v4. The site hosted on gigalixir.com.

ABNF grammars are widely used in the Internet today. They serve as the basic building blocks for a lot of highly used protocols, like HTTP, SIP, SMTP, FTP, etc. And they are also very useful to design DSLs (Domain Specific Languages).

In this article we’ll learn how to use a tool called ex_abnf to quickly create grammar parsers using the Elixir language.

• Elixir SDK now has an Internal Erlang SDK, so you can configure where the OTP Code Paths and erl (or erl.exe) binaries are that Elixir should use. Allows the use of different package managers for installing Erlang and Elixir.
  • Elixir SDK Class Paths tab now tracks the Code Paths passed to -pa, so you can experiment with partial updates using only some of the updated OTP app in the release notes for OTP.
  • Because the Code Paths for the Erlang SDK are available, they can be decompiled and index, which means that Go To Definition, Search and Completion works for all of OTP now!
• Auto-test (watch/guard) button to re-run Mix ExUnit Run Configuration when code changes.
• Decompiler will automatically detect compressed .beam files and decompress in memory before reading the chunks to decompile.

For a recent project I worked on, the admins needed a way to restrict access and only allow people with a key to register. I wrote a Set-up guide that emphasizes the new Phoenix generators!

Code is on Github

I released phoenix_pagination, a pagination library for Ecto and Phoenix (forked from kerosene ) that uses plain EEx templates. Code is on github and online documentation is available.

Last week I start my first work with Phoenix / Elixir for a customer. I want to automate test and deploy. Here you can find how I start doing continuous integration with Bitbucket Pipelines.

Recently I’ve been working on a small side project that requires I crawl a website looking for external links. I decided that building a basic web crawler in Elixir would be a fantastic learning experience, so I documented the process. Check it out!
