• mix_test_watch

  2 823 2.5 Elixir

  🎠 Because TDD is awesome

  I really love mix test.watch - https://github.com/lpil/mix-test.watch

• temple

  1 390 4.6 Elixir

  An HTML DSL for Elixir and Phoenix

  I recently also found temple and I really like the idea. I mean, Elixir is great for DSLs, why not to use it. For example, we already kinda use it for SQL, thanks to Ecto. However, the latest issue about not supporting the latest liveview and no activity for a while scared me away from actually trying it. Maybe, I should be more brave in picking up seems-to-be-dead projects. Have you tried it?

• entr

  21 2,413 5.6 C

  Run arbitrary commands when files change

  I'd recommend entr and direnv over either of those, simply because they work outside elixir. Ages ago I used guard and dotenv for ruby, and while nice at the time, the moment I branched out of ruby they became a hindrance to keep using.

• direnv

  58 9,350 8.6 Go

  unclutter your .profile
