JSON to Elixir code generator (online tool)

Oh this is a really, really neat tool! These kind of code generation tools are just really nice to use, so this is probably going to be popular - maybe you could add to it the ability to generate structs from the JSON!

Would love for this to be a CLI tool instead

Yea my initial idea was to create structs. But since you can’t type the items in a list with defstruct I decided for a first pass I would just do an embedded_schema. I wanna give the option as all if to nest the embeds or if to generate new modules for them.

I think for generating the structs when encountering a list I might just set the value to an empty list but still generate the struct for the list items.

Yea or maybe a mix task?

Yeah, what I imagined when I said a CLI tool

I think I crashed your app

Mate you can’t crash the elixir app. , it works

What I mean by that is I have a json payload that causes the app to reload itself, not a permanent denial of service.

Awesome! Send me the JSON so I can get it fixed on my end =]

Your project can be actually DDOSed as you are using string_to_atom (or I think so?), witch is a dangerous function and can overflow the number of atoms in the system. To crash you can simply do:

{
  "\"": 123
}
