I wrote a tutorial at SemaphoreCI to introduce test-driven development in Elixir with ExUnit. Enjoy! https://semaphoreci.com/community/tutorials/introduction-to-testing-elixir-applications-with-exunit

Released today first version of peselx module to work with PESEL - Polish ID number.

At this moment it is very simple validator that checks control digit only. Plan is to add PESEL decomposition and validations against birth date and sex.

Hosting a static HTML site with Nginx is pretty trivial. Hosting a Phoenix app with Nginx is somewhat straightforward. But hosting a Phoenix app from within a static HTML site’s subdirectory takes a little more setup.

In this post, I go over the configurations you need to make on the Nginx side as well as the Phoenix side to ensure your Phoenix app can run from within a domain’s subdirectory (i.e. htmlsite.com/phoenixapp). Hopefully it’ll help you avoid the pitfalls I experienced.

Continuing my series of how to do basic user-related tasks in Phoenix, see how to perform scoped finds using Ecto in Phoenix.

Released today the latest version of Ace

Ace was built to teach myself more about the networking layer and TCP/IP. This release makes the TCP part 90% complete. This release also adds an example implementing the Quote of the Day Protocol.

The code is full of comments about what I have learned, and might be of interest to anyone looking for an example project.

As a Rubyist looking ahead to web development for the next decade, I’m betting on Elixir. Here’s why https://rossta.net/blog/why-i-am-betting-on-elixir.html

I just released v0.4.13 of Credo, the static code analysis tool that emphasizes code consistency and teaching.

IO Lists are often just nested lists of strings. But these simple-seeming structures are one of the secrets of efficient IO in Elixir and simple, fast template rendering in Phoenix.

I’ve explained how in two posts on the Big Nerd Ranch blog:

• Elixir and IO Lists, Part 1: Building Output Efficiently
• Elixir and IO Lists, Part 2: IO Lists in Phoenix

Elixir/Erlang concurrency model is based on the actor pattern which runs on top of BEAM(Erlang Virtual Machine) instead of running directly on Operating System. The actor pattern’s actor is an “Elixir Process” in Elixir programming language.

Elixir has built in four strategies for supervision trees to enable fault tolerant systems. The names of strategies are :one_for_one, :one_for_all, :rest_for_one, :simple_one_for_one. Enjoy the visualisations…

For a long time I haven’t been able to figure out “the way”(tm) to do mocks in Elixir.

I have explored different suggested patterns and found the one I prefer.

I wrote a blog post about it here: https://medium.com/@lasseebert/mocks-in-elixir-7204f8cc9d0f#.3k5oolwkg

I’ve released a new version of the Cloud Foundry buildpack for Elixir. It works now with anynines.

Furthermore, Elixir 1.3.x and Erlang 19.x are supported.

ex_postmark is a Postmark adapter for sending template emails.

You can create HTML & CSS templates in Postmark panel and then fill them in your Elixir code.

ex_mustang is a simple slackbot with few simple abilities like random quote, open PR watching and standup notifier.

I have bunch of issues created so I will eventually work on them or can get some community help.

I just released part 3 of my little blog series about Gatling.

Loops With Friends is an Elixir/Elm app that allows users to play music loops collaboratively.

I wrote three blog posts on how I built and tested the backend in Elixir.

ExPlay is a Google Play API in Elixir (ported from the Node.js version). For now, it let’s you look up details of any published Play Store app and download its APK.
