elixir-packages

Packages I recommend to get things done.

How does an Elixir package qualify?

Here are the guidelines:

1. It fulfills a clear function, too complex to warrant building within one's own system
2. It prefers returning {:error, :description_of_error} over raising an exception
3. It does not provide use MyPackage unless there is a warranted use for it.
4. It limits the amount of macros that leak into the system outside of the package's API
5. [ Maybe NOT -- because only for opaques! We lose pastability otherwise! ] It provides support for the relevant Elixir Protocol, such as Inspect
6. It respects semantic versioning
7. It provides an introduction to the package in the hex-level top documentation
8. It has hex-level documentation for the public interface
9. The public interface is limited
10. The internal interface is not documented in hex
11. It has an up-to-date CHANGELOG
12. It has tests
13. It has a small set of dependencies
14. I found it usable.
