I have published a book (my first) a few days ago: Erlang and Elixir for Imperative Programmers. It gives an introduction to both languages in the context of functional concepts for developers more used to Java, C# and similar languages than to the functional paradigm.

Please browse here for a 20% discount or download a sample. The book is finished, but I am planning an update in the next few days with a new (small) chapter and fixing of typos and code bugs.

FakerElixir is an Elixir package that generates fake data for you. Whether you need to seed your database, create factories for your project, FakerElixir is here for you.

Some basic examples

FakerElixir.Helper.pick(["paris", "athens", "london"]) # "london"
FakerElixir.Internet.email(:popular) # "candelario@gmail.com"
FakerElixir.Internet.url(:safe) # "https://www.stefan-little.org/"

Locales

Other Faker packages don’t really let you custom the data of the locales. We do. Did I tell you, you can set the locale at the runtime ?

FakerElixir.set_locale(:en) # :ok
FakerElixir.Address.city # "Baltimore"

FakerElixir.set_locale(:fr) # :ok
FakerElixir.Address.city # "Issy-les-Moulineaux"

The barrel-db project just published rebar3_elixir_compile 1.0.0.

rebar3_elixir_compile is a a rebar3 elixir compiler plugin that allows you to mix elixir application an libraries with Erlang applications in your erlang projects. It works with any erlang applications or release.

You can find the source code on github: https://github.com/barrel-db/rebar3_elixir_compile

The plugin is available on hex.pm as well: https://hex.pm/packages/rebar3_elixir_compile

Enjoy!

inaka will be hosting the first BeamBA Meetup on September 28th

We’ll have 3 speakers:

• Carlos Pantelides will be presenting edu-ciaa-nxp and talking about how to integrate Erlang in it.
• Mariano Guerra will be talking about building languages on top of the BEAM.
• Federico Carrone will compare Erlang with Elixir, according to his experience.

Join us!

Basically an example .gitlab-ci.yml for a Phoenix app.

Serving static pages is not a problem inside Phoenix, all you need to is to allow static files in a specific directory, from your endpoint configuration.

Distribution out-of-box is one of the great features any Elixir application can have due to how Erlang VM operates, and it is one of the reasons the language is gaining popularity.

It is the ability to easily create clusters (scaling horizontally) instead of depending in one single machine resources (scaling vertically) to perform any computation. The most important, you can get this advantage of a distributed system anytime, without modifying any core functionality of your project.

Setting up Phoenix is relatively easy but how can you make sure every developer is running the same version of each dependency in your infrastructure?

In this post, I go over the basic dependencies in Phoenix installed on OS X. Then, I set up the same in Docker - ensuring that every piece of my application is the same on anyone’s machine working on the project.

Hello everyone. Here is a post I wrote about my learnings on what Phoenix brings to the web, with Elixir and Erlang Virtual Machine.

Server integration tests in Phoenix should be fast, readable and maintainable. phoenix_integration has similiarities to Capybara, but is better as it Elixir/Phoenix native. Learn how and why to use it.
