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
Where Next?

You can use
Code.require_file.Welcome to Elixir Forum!
EDIT:
Mix.installwith a path should work but it would need to be a proper mix project with amix.exsfile with at very least adef projectand alib/directory.AndyL
These may be of interest:

Does it have to be a file, or does Elixir have a way of loading and running from a url?
I was using Deno, and really like being able to run something just like in a web browser, point to a url and it runs. I guess there’s all this stuff about how it’s kind of tied to this security model stuff there… but I just like it for the convenience.

It’s one more line of code, jist fetch the script with
Reqand then load it.
