Elixir Blog Post: Doctest functions with side effects
Hi there! 
It’s me again!
Lately I’ve been working on documentation for the project, including adding some context function usage examples, and wanted to “doctest” them for the sake of correctness. However, I noticed that most of the high level public functions have side effects.
In the following blog post I share how we could “doctest” those impure functions on the example from Mox’s documentation.
