Elixir as an Operating System

A blog post in which I wonder if Elixir could be used to build a competitor for the dominant web “operating system”, Wordpress.

exdatauri, an Elixir parser for RFC 2397 data URIs

I just released my second Elixir ever, a simple parser for RFC 2397 data URIs.

Grab it on github: https://github.com/flupke/exdatauri

(coverage should be 100%, excoveralls has some issues)

Phoenix Screencasts is Live with First Episode!

For anyone interested in web development with Elixir and Phoenix, please check out http://phoenixscreencasts.com/. It’s weekly tutorial screencasts aimed at the Elixir web developer. Screencasts will mostly be done in the context of a Phoenix app and will assume some knowledge of Elixir.

Sign up with your Github account if you want to be notified of new episodes. I’ll generally be releasing two episodes a week.

ESpec |> should BDD

I would like to introduce ESpec - a BDD test framework for Elixir inspired by RSpec.

In contrast to other Elixir test frameworks which are built on top of ExUnit, ESpec is written from scratch to implement most of RSpec features.

There are context groups, ‘before’ and ‘finally’ blocks, familiar RSpec matchers, two types of expectation syntax (‘expect’ and ‘should’), and many others cool features. ESpec allows you to write ‘shared’ examples to reuse test suites and create your own specific matchers.

Current (0.7.0) version is very close to 1.0. So check it out!

Core Elixir: Converting Collections to Lists

‘Enum.to_list’ is a relatively simple function that works in weird way. Erlang, Elixir, reverses, recursion, the works! Let me explain.

Coinbase-Elixir released

I recently released my mostly complete Coinbase API for Elixir.

Check it out: https://github.com/gregpardo/coinbase-elixir

Pavlov, an Elixir BDD framework

Pavlov, a BDD testing framework for your Elixir projects just hit version 0.2.3!

Pavlov provides a rich, expressive syntax for you to develop your unit tests against. Think of it as RSpec’s little Elixir-loving brother.

It is an abstraction built on top of the excellent ExUnit, Elixir’s standard testing library, so all of its standard features are still supported.

Check it out!

Although YAML format is not recommended in Elixir environment, I’ve just released YAML parser for these who, for some reasons, still need it in their projects.

ElixirStatus: Final beta live

Since you can read this without logging in via GitHub, the final “open” beta phase of this little service has started. ElixirStatus would not be online without the community which it is a part of and which - as always - has been amazing.

I will be updating the Roadmap issue on GitHub as we are preparing for launch!
