Elixir Tooling

Disclaimer: This file is intended to document learnings about tooling text editors to work with Elixir.

Emacs

Useful plugins

• Elixir-mode: font-locking, indentation, etc.
• Alchemist: IEx, mix, autocompletion via company, etc.
• Flycheck: works with linters, Dogma and Credo

When running an umbrella app, to allow Alchemist to properly jump to function definitions run...

$ ln -sf ../../_build _build

...where ../../_build is the path to the umbrella root directory.
