* Description
This layer adds support for [[http://elixir-lang.org/][Elixir]] .
[[https://github.com/tonini/alchemist.el][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 [[http://company-mode.github.io/][company-mode]]
- Flycheck support for mix compile
- Flycheck support for [[https://github.com/rrrene/credo][credo]]
- Flycheck support for test results
* 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.
* Configuration
** Flycheck
*Note:* since flycheck checkers are slow, the checks are enabled only at save
time.
*** Credo
A flycheck checker for [[https://github.com/rrrene/credo][credo]] is installed. The check needs both =bunt= and
=credo= to be available, you can install them like this:
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
git clone https://github.com/rrrene/bunt
cd bunt
mix archive.build
mix archive.install
#+END_SRC
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
git clone https://github.com/rrrene/credo
cd credo
mix deps.get
mix archive.build
mix archive.install
#+END_SRC
*** mix compile
*Important:*
Elixir compilation is based on macros and is unsafe since arbitrary code can
be run during compilation. Therefore Spacemacs disable compilation flycheck
support by default.
To enable flycheck support for =mix compile= *globally* the variable
=elixir-enable-compilation-checking= must be explicitly set to =t= in your
dotfile.
It is recommended to use directory local variables instead. These variables are
stored in a file named =.dit-local.el= at the root of your project. Their values
are applied only for the project and not outside. To easily add a directory
local variable used ~SPC f v d~ and provide the mode =elixir-mode= then the
variable name =elixir-enable-compilation-checking= and its value.
Spacemacs marks the variable =elixir-enable-compilation-checking= as safe so
Emacs won't ask you if the variable is safe whenever an elixir file is opened.
Remember that you can check the flycheck checkers enabled with ~SPC e v~.
