Mixeur

Mixin for Elixir

What it does?

It allows you to do mixin like in Ruby. For example:

I have an apple:

defmodule Apple do
  use Mixeur

  def apple do
    "Apple"
  end
end

I have a pen:

defmodule Pen do
  use Mixeur

  def pen do
    "Pen"
  end
end

Oh Oh Oh ApplePen:

defmodule ApplePen do
    use Apple
    use Pen

    def apple_pen do
      "#{apple()}#{pen()}"
    end
end

What's the difference between import and Mixeur?

Mixeur basically leverages defdelegate macro in Elixir. So not only it allows you to call functions inside a module(this behaviour is like import), also it exposes those functions to the outside world. For the example above, you can do:

iex> ApplePen.apple
"apple"
iex> ApplePen.pen
"pen"
