In most Plug applications, there is some sort of match and/or dispatch process that takes place for an individual request. A request will come in, a set of pattern matching statements created will be compared against the requested path, and if there’s a match, a function will be called to send the client a response. Here, there is a clear separation between matching/filtering a request and creating a response.

With Sap, the basic idea remains the same, but the way a request is accepted and a response is created is slightly different. Combinators, a fancy name for simple functions meant to be composed with one another, are tasked with one of two goals:

• filter requests based on some criteria
• build up a response

The power of these functions comes from the ability to compose them in any order. There is no clear separation of each type of combinators, so a filtering combinator can be used both before and after a building combinator and vice versa.

Tabula can transform a collection of maps (structs too, e.g. Ecto models) into an ASCII/GitHub Markdown table. Grab it from hex and enjoy!

Hi there - Neo4j.Sips is aiming to help the Elixir developers explore the Neo4j graph database, and to eventually become the core of a future Ecto adapter. The source code for this driver is in Github: florinpatrascu/neo4j_sips. If interested, you can use it in your projects directly from hex.pm. These are my first steps to learning Elixir and I am welcoming your feedback. Pull requests, would be awesome! - Florin.

Phoenix is a really powerful and customizable framework. One of it’s small but important configurations is filtering custom params from the logs. I am sure that this will be more interesting to beginner than experienced developers, but nevertheless, let’s see what’s the motivation behind this and how to do it in Phoenix. Read more here.

I wrote up part 3 of the tutorial series on writing a blog engine in Phoenix! This time we’re covering add a “role” concept to the models we’ve written so far!

Exon is a tool used to register the items (machines, screens, lasers, 48 ports switches) you may have at home or in your hackerspace. it provides a hybrid API and stores the data in ETS/DETS tables. Last night, I released v0.0.3 which brings a few adjustments in the JSON part of the protocol and warns if you try to register two items with the same name. Feel free to write a client for it in your favourite language, I wrote a spec sheet for this purpose.

I just pushed the typical “Hello World” for Elixir (parallel map) so I don’t have to copypaste it again and again for every new project.

List is a basic data structure in functional programming, but I found it’s often not well understood by many programmers. In this post I’m explaining how lists work and implementing couple of basic lists functions like map or length.

With Ecto, you can embed individual or arrays of structs directly inside another model. This makes it easy to pull up records without having to do a SQL join, since the record is on the same table. A couple examples of when you might want to do this are for settings or addresses.

I had a chance to go to ElixirConf 2015 in Austin, Texas. The conference was a great and I learned a lot. I’ve written a bit about my favorite talks of the conference. Read more here.
