Remix

defp deps do
  [{:remix, "~> 0.0.1", only: :dev}]
end

Add add :remix as a development only OTP app.

def application do
  [applications: applications(Mix.env)]
end

defp applications(:dev), do: applications(:all) ++ [:remix]
defp applications(_all), do: [:logger]

Config

• dirs (default "lib"): A list of directories to search, or binary of a single directory
• escript (default false): includes escript compilation
• silent (default false): suppress output to iex when compiling

Watches all files in project, with escript compilation and silent mode:

config :remix,
  dirs: "./",
  escript: true,
  silent: true

Watches the lib and foo directories

config :remix,
  dirs: ["lib", "foo"]
