How to use?

[seemsindie]

Hello,

I am a rookie when it comes to emacs and lisp, and i have trouble getting this to work.

I have added this:
(add-hook 'after-init-hook 'global-company-mode)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '(".ex$" . alchemist-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '(".exs$" . alchemist-mode))

But neither syntax highlighting or auto complete are working, any ideas or a manual for how to use this? README.md is not very clear for me...

Thanks, Ivan.

Hi @seemsindie,

Syntax highlighting and basic Elixir integration is provided by elixir-mode

In order to get autocomplete features you need to install and configure company-mode

Were you able to install the packages via Melpa? (If you're not familiar with Melpa, take a look at this paragraph)

[seemsindie]

Yes i was able to install it with melpa. I now installed elixir-mode and i have highlighting, but auto complete still don't work. For company-mode i only have:
(add-hook 'after-init-hook 'global-company-mode)
I am not sure if i need something else...

I still haven't used company-mode. I will switch to it and let you know what you need.

Thanks man, i appreciate it 😄

@seemsindie, I just finished adding company-mode in my Emacs setup.

First, ensure you've already installed the company package (M-x package-install RET company RET)

After installing company, all I had to do was add the following lines to my init files:

(require 'company)
(global-company-mode)

(define-key company-active-map (kbd "C-n") 'company-select-next)
(define-key company-active-map (kbd "C-p") 'company-select-previous)

Seems like that's all there is to it.

@seemsindie Have you figured everything out?

Can this issue be closed?

[seemsindie]

@rranelli Yes, thanks man!
