Apex - Awesome Print for Elixir
Awesome Print is an Elixir library that pretty prints Elixir data structures in full color exposing their internal structure with proper indentation. It's a port of part of the functionality of Ruby's awesome awesome_print gem.
Installation
In order to install it via hex, add the reference to this package into the deps
area of your mix.exs
.
defp deps do
[
{:apex, "~>1.2.1"}
]
end
Examples
data = [false, 42, ~w(forty two), [time: "now"], %{foo: :bar}]
Apex.ap data
# Will output the following:
#[
# [0] false
# [1] 42
# [2] [
# [0] "forty"
# [1] "two"
# ]
# [3] [
# [0] time: "now"
# ]
# [4] %{
# foo: bar
# }
#]
#
#[false, 42, ~w(forty two), [time: "now"], %{foo: :bar}]
If the numbering is not for you, you can turn it off via Apex.ap(data, numbers: false)
.

Apex
uses a protocol internally to format a given value. If there's something not yet in the box, you can extend the protocol Apex.Format
.
Color customizations
You can customize the Apex
colors on a per project or global basis. For project
specific color configuration, you can specify the color table in your config/config.ex
use Mix.Config
config :apex, :colors, %{
binary: :red
}
This can alternatively also be done at runtime by using the Application.put_env/3
function.
Please note, that you only have to specify the colors you actively want to change here. For
the rest Apex
will fallback to the defaults.
If you want to apply the same settings across multiple elixir projects, you can drop a .apexrc
file into your home directory in order do the same thing. The configuration is an Elixir
Map.
%{
colors: %{
binary: :yellow,
true: [:green, :bright]
}
}
IMPORTANT: the global configuration will get compiled into your Apex
version when
you compile your app. You need to recompile Apex
via mix deps.compile apex
when
you want to apply changes to the .apexrc
file.
PRECEDENCE: When both project specific and global configuration are present, project specific configuration will take precedence.
For a full list of all available customizations, please take a look at the result of Apex.Format.Color.default_colors/0)
.
Awesome def aka adef
Inspired by @sasajuric's awesome blog post series about macros, Apex also contains an Apex flavored version of his deftracable
macro. By using adef
instead of def
import Apex.AwesomeDef
adef test(data, options \\ []) do
data
end
all function invocations print trace outputs in the following format to the group leader (console):
iex(1)> Apex.test "foo"
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Function Elixir.Apex.test was called
defined in /Users/bjoernrochel/Coding/Laboratory/apex/lib/apex.ex:12

Parameters:
