MixInstall (Beta)

An alternative way of adding dependencies to your Elixir project with mix (Similar to gem/pip install for dev environment)

Usage

mix install ecto

mix install poolboy plug

Only for :dev and :test environment

mix install mix_test_watch --test --dev

# or

mix install mix_test_watch -t -d

Install task will update :deps in mix.exs file to

defp deps do
  [
    {:ecto, "~> 1.1.3", },
    {:poolboy, "~> 1.5.1", },
    {:plug, "~> 1.1.0", },
    {:mix_test_watch, "~> 0.2.5", only: ~w(dev test)a},
  ]
end

Installation

Should I use it?

This tooling may be not an idiomatic way for Elixir and opposite to good practices I'm not sure about it. Please open an issue or notify me if you see code that smells bad.
