Description

This layer adds support for Elixir .

Alchemist brings the Elixir tooling to Emacs and comes with a bunch of features like:

• Powerful IEx integration
• Mix integration
• Compile & Execution of Elixir code
• Inline code evaluation
• Documentation lookup
• Definition lookup
• Smart code completion
• Elixir project management
• Integration with company-mode

Install

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add elixir to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.
