Iex -S mix: alias r() to recompile()

[Exadra37]

@hauleth

defmodule Hauleth.IExHelpers do
  defdelegate r(), to: IEx.Helpers, as: :recompile
  defdelegate r!(), to: IEx.Helpers, as: :recompile!
end

import Hauleth.IExHelpers

According to the post I linked this will not work, it will throw:

Can I extend iex helpers?

My .iex.exs is exactly as you suggested. When I run iex, I see this error message: ** (CompileError) .iex.exs:11: module MyHelpers is not loaded but was defined. This happens when you depend on a module in the same context it is defined. ... If the module is defined at the top-level and you are trying to use it at the top-level, such is not supported by Elixir

But if you compile it first and then import it in $HOME/.iex.exs it will work fine

I like your module simplicity.
