I am currently enrolled in the Pragmatic Studio Elixir & OTP course and have just completed the section on module attributes. I have the following code:

defmodule Servy.Handler do
  @moduledoc "Handles HTTP requests"

  @pages_path Path.expand("../../pages", __DIR__)

  @doc "Transforms the request into a response."
  def handle(request) do
    request
    |> parse
    |> rewrite_path
    |> log
    |> route
    |> track
    |> format_response
  end

  def emojify(%{status: 200} = conv) do
    body = ":) " <> conv.resp_body <> " :)"
    %{conv | resp_body: body}
  end

  def emojify(conv), do: conv

  def track(%{status: 404, path: path} = conv) do
    IO.puts("Warning: #{path} is on the loose!")
    conv
  end

  @doc "Logs 404 requests"
  def track(conv), do: conv

  def rewrite_path(%{path: "/wildlife"} = conv) do
    %{conv | path: "/wildthings"}
  end

  def rewrite_path(%{path: "/bears?id=" <> id} = conv) do
    %{conv | path: "/bears/#{id}"}
  end

  def rewrite_path(conv), do: conv

  def log(conv), do: IO.inspect(conv)

  def parse(request) do
    # TODO Parse the request string into a map
    [method, path, _] =
      request
      |> String.split("\n")
      |> List.first()
      |> String.split(" ")

    %{method: method, path: path, resp_body: "", status: nil}
  end

  def route(%{method: "GET", path: "/wildthings"} = conv) do
    %{conv | status: 200, resp_body: "Bears, Lions, Tigers"}
  end

  def route(%{method: "GET", path: "/bears"} = conv) do
    %{conv | status: 200, resp_body: "Teddy, Smokey, Paddington"}
  end

  def route(%{method: "GET", path: "/bears/new"} = conv) do
    @pages_path
    |> Path.join("form.html")
    |> File.read()
    |> handle_file(conv)
  end

  def route(%{method: "GET", path: "/bears/" <> id} = conv) do
    %{conv | status: 200, resp_body: "Bear #{id}"}
  end

  def route(%{method: "GET", path: "/pages/" <> file} = conv) do
    Path.expand("../../pages", __DIR__)
    |> Path.join(file <> ".html")
    |> File.read()
    |> handle_file(conv)
  end

  def route(%{method: "GET", path: "/about"} = conv) do
    Path.expand("../../pages", __DIR__)
    |> Path.join("about.html")
    |> File.read()
    |> handle_file(conv)
  end

  def route(%{method: "DELETE", path: "/bears/" <> _id} = conv) do
    %{conv | status: 403, resp_body: "Deleting a bear is forbidden!"}
  end

  def route(%{path: path} = conv) do
    %{conv | status: 404, resp_body: "No #{path} here"}
  end

  def handle_file({:ok, content}, conv) do
    %{conv | status: 200, resp_body: content}
  end

  def handle_file({:error, :enoent}, conv) do
    %{conv | status: 404, resp_body: "File not found"}
  end

  def handle_file({:error, reason}, conv) do
    %{conv | status: 500, resp_body: "File Error: #{reason}"}
  end

  def format_response(conv) do
    # TODO: Use values in the map to create an HTTP response string:
    """
    HTTP/1.1 #{conv.status} #{status_reason(conv.status)}
    Content-Type: text/html
    Content-Length: #{byte_size(conv.resp_body)}

    #{conv.resp_body}
    """
  end

  defp status_reason(code) do
    %{
      200 => "OK",
      201 => "Created",
      401 => "Unauthorized",
      403 => "Forbidden",
      404 => "Not Found",
      500 => "Internal Server Error"
    }[code]
  end
end

request = """
GET /wildthings HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
User-Agent: ExampleBrowser/1.0
Accept: */*

"""

response = Servy.Handler.handle(request)

IO.puts(response)

IO.puts(response)

IO.puts(response)

request = """
GET /bears/new HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
User-Agent: ExampleBrowser/1.0
Accept: */*

"""

response = Servy.Handler.handle(request)

IO.puts(response)

However, when I try to see the generated documentation as an exercise, I get an error:


Any ideas?

Someone else can probably give you a more detailed answer but I think the problem here is that you are running a script (.exs file). Scripts as I understand are only compiled into memory so there’s no beam file on disk to read the docs from.

Ookma-Kyi OP

Actually, it’s an .ex file (executable).

To be clear, .ex is not an executable, it’s just an elixir file. .beam are the bytecode files.

In short, modules in iex are loaded into memory so not compiled with docs. I’m not sure if there is a way to do so or not. If you have a mix project, though, and load it in with iex -S mix then you’ll be able to use h.

How are you compiling it? If you are doing c("handler.ex") in iex it still defaults to in-memory regardless of whether it’s a .exs file.

Looks like c/2 accepts a path as the second argument.

Oh neat! They’ve thought of everything :sweat_smile:
