I’m going to try to build a library (that I can hopefully publish) that allows access to statistics reports from the Swedish Statistics Authority. Basically they have a bunch of statistics data but the issue is they use very weird API:s for accessing them so I wanna provide a more easy way to get the data by wrapping the api:s in a nice library.

However they have a lot of reports and data so I will probably have to write a module per report. And it seems a bit wasteful to include all (I’m not sure how many reports in total they got but wouldn’t be surprised if it is over 500) for a project that just wanna access how the population size of each municipality.

I get that it might be hard/impossible to “tree-shake” since code can be called dynamically at runtime but can I provide a way to for example specify in the config which reports they want to actually use? Something like this:

config :scb_ex,
  reports: [:municipality_population]
