Good morning people.
I am having a question about how I could do a function that would do an external access and then I would add this setting in the config.exs file.
config.exs
config :myapp_web, MyappWeb.Endpoint,
test: [host: MyappWeb.External.test()]
external.ex
defmodule MyappWeb.External do
def test do
response = "localhost"
response
end
end
Not found MyappWeb.External.test.
Thanks.

You can’t, configs are read before compiling the modules.
So you’ll need to inline that module/function into your config file.
Things might change when 1.9 is released though. Configuration works differently then, but I haven’t yet looked into the details…

It will probably still not change much as some of the release configuration must be done before startup.

I’m not only speaking about releases, as far as I understand the “old” way to do configuration has been deprecated:
While there is now
Configavailable.But yeah, from a quick glance, usage of those modules pretty much the same, and also its documentation says, that mix will evaluate the config on each run, meaning before actual compiling/loading/running the application takes place
