Reusing code in elixir scripts (.exs)
Curious to learn strategies to reuse code in elixir scripts. I would like to use elixir for scripting things (inspired by underjord), but I feel blocked in being able to write reusable code that I can import into these scripts.
I’m trying to do something like this:
a.exs
Mix.install([
{:hello, path: "./b"}
])
defmodule ATest do
def a_test() do
Hello.world()
end
end
ATest.a_test()
b.exs
defmodule Hello do
use Mix.Project
def world() do
"hello_world"
end
end

You can use Code.require_file.
Welcome to Elixir Forum!
EDIT: Mix.install with a path should work but it would need to be a proper mix project with a mix.exs file with at very least a def project and a lib/ directory.
