CustomBase

CustomBase allow you to make custom base conversion in Elixir.

Installation

Add { :custom_base, "~> 0.2" } to deps function in your mix.exs file.

After you are done, run mix deps.get in your shell to fetch and compile CustomBase.

Example

Lets make Base12 module with conversion described below.

Value	Encoding
0	0
1	1
2	2
3	3
4	4
5	5
6	6
7	7
8	8
9	9
10	A
11	B

Add macro to your module:

defmodule Base12 do
  use CustomBase, '0123456789AB'
end

Now your module have 2 functions encode/1 and decode/1:

iex> Base12.encode(9)
"9"
iex> Base12.encode(10)
"A"
iex> Base12.encode(11)
"B"
iex> Base12.encode(12)
"10"
iex> Base12.decode("16")
18
iex> Base12.decode("AB")
131
