README
Nifty
Helper script for setting up the boilerplate required when writing a NIF. I'm using it by installing as an archive, but I guess you could install it as a dep.
Install
git clone [email protected]:rossjones/nifty.git
cd nifty
mix do archive.build, archive.install
Commands
# Creates a skeleton Makefile, c source and Elxiir module.
mix nifty.gen --library hello --module MyApp.Nif
The compile and clean tasks should happen when your normal mix compile
and mix clean
calls happen.
