Consolex

MIT License Hex Version

Consolex is a tool that allows you to attach a web based console to any mix project.

Image of console

Use the following mix task to start the server on port 5984.

mix consolex.server

Web Console Usage

Open up localhost:5984 on your browser and by default, you get a few launch options:

iex
iex -S mix
erl

You can choose to provide other shell options as well, like iex -S mix phoenix.server. Once the shell is launched, you can start using the editor and hit "Ctrl/Cmd + Enter" or click on the provided button to send the code to the running IEx instance and execute it.

Consider a sample input code

a = 1 + 2
b = a + 3

There are two ways to send the code to the shell for execution and a sample interaction with the shell is as follows

Single line input(Default)

iex(1)> a = 1 + 2; b = a + 3
6

Multiline input

iex(1)> a = 1 + 2
3
iex(2)> b = a + 3
6

Click on the options button to customise the console as per your liking.


Warning: Due to the exposed shell for commands, it is strongly advised to refrain from using this in production environment
