The macro mechanism in Elixir is not only an interesting metaprogramming feature - in fact, it is at the language’s very core. And the more awesome fact is that, using macros, you can override the algorithm of defining functions itself! https://curiosum.com/til/how-override-kernel-macros

Plug is not the only interface with the middleware layer. Absinthe also comes with a middleware layer of its own and we can use it similarly to implement authorization for queries, mutations, and subscriptions. Here’s an example.

In episode 61 of Thinking Elixir, we cover the news then talk about the Brex announcement that they are shifting to a Kotlin-first strategy over Elixir. This reminds us of patterns we’ve seen in our careers and we reflect on what it means to us personally and professionally. We share our perspectives on Elixir, how it’s different from the languages we’ve used before and the unique value we get from it.

In this post, you’ll get a comprehensive overview of how to test your LiveView applications in Elixir. https://blog.appsignal.com/2021/08/17/an-introduction-to-liveview-in-elixir.html

In episode 60 of Thinking Elixir, we talk with Marc-André Lafortune about reducing Elixir project compile times. On larger projects, when a single file like a view template is changed and over 100 files get recompiled, there is something wrong. Marc-André explains how he identified the problems in his project and contributed to Elixir’s mix xref tool making it easier for us to find those problems in our own projects! We cover how these tooling improvements were used to improve the upcoming Phoenix 1.6 and Elixir 1.13! An additional mix xref flag was added to run CI checks on our code to prevent accidentally adding code that slows our compile times.

We at the @Slab team just open-sourced Delta for Elixir, an expressive format to describe documents’ contents and changes. 📑⚙️⚡️

Delta is a core piece of technology at Slab that powers our real-time collaboration engine. It supports Operational Transform and more, allowing for confict-resolution and concurrency when building collaborative systems.

Have you ever wondered about tests running inside the IEx shell? For a long time, I was convinced that it’s not really possible. And as it turns out - that’s not really straightforward. We found information about that in the documentation so we would love to share it with you! https://curiosum.com/til/run-tests-in-elixir-iex-shell #myelixirstatus

I introduce the CleanMixer tool, which is helpful for visualization and control (automated testing) of Elixir project architecture. The article uses CleanMixer as a backbone theme for introducing architectural principles, best practices, and their reasons.

By defining a clear MVP scope as early as possible,you can lower overall expenses and risk. Elixir is the perfect technology for most of the applications and MVPs you plan to build. Why? https://curiosum.com/sl/f5d1fmt6
