I use mix phoenix.new paper to create a new project paper.

So all the stuff is called Paper or :paper.

However, I have to define a model called paper. So I have something like defmodule Paper.Paper do.

When I have multiple aliaes, I need to move Paper.paper to the last.

I know I made a “stupid” codename that may interfere with the model name.

So how can I modify all the Paper. stuff and :paper stuff eaisly? Is there a Phoenix mix command to do that?

Thanks!

I’ve been using this script for the two or three times I had to rename a phoenix project: rename a phoenix project · GitHub

requires ack to be installed, but you could certainly swap that out for grep.

Cheers,
Ben

• Works on MacOS, not tested elsewhere.
• Needs: git, xargs and sed.

From the root folder of the project:

  1. git grep -l 'old_name' | xargs sed -i '' -e 's/old_name/new_name/g'

  2. git grep -l 'OldName' | xargs sed -i '' -e 's/OldName/NewName/g'

  3. mv ./lib/old_name ./lib/new_name

  4. mv ./lib/old_name.ex ./lib/new_name.ex

    If you have a similar folder structure in the tests folder, you probably also need:

  5. mv ./test/old_name ./test/new_name

There is not a command for renaming a project. I have however had to do so a couple times in the past, and in general global find and replace works really rather well. Just also move any directories named paper and you’re done.

A global find+replace works a lot better in Elixir than in most OOP-languages, because you always refer to a certain piece of code the same way: ModuleName.function_name. And structs use the ModuleName as well.

In OOP-languages, you can only hope that some object isn’t referred to under a different name.

Oh! My bad, I didn’t look closely at what you did.

This is definitly a step up.
