Elixir Mode

Provides font-locking, indentation and navigation support for the Elixir programming language.

Installation

Via package.el

package.el is the built-in package manager in Emacs.

elixir-mode is available on the two major community maintained repositories - MELPA STABLE and MELPA.

You can install elixir-mode with the following command:

M-x package-install [RET] elixir-mode [RET]

or by adding this bit of Emacs Lisp code to your Emacs initialization file (.emacs or init.el):

(unless (package-installed-p 'elixir-mode)
  (package-install 'elixir-mode))

If the installation doesn't work try refreshing the package list:

M-x package-refresh-contents [RET]

Keep in mind that MELPA packages are built automatically from the master branch, meaning bugs might creep in there from time to time. Never-the-less, installing from MELPA is the recommended way of obtaining Elixir-Mode, as the master branch is normally quite stable and "stable" (tagged) builds are released somewhat infrequently.

With the most recent builds of Emacs, you can pin Elixir-Mode to always use MELPA Stable by adding this to your Emacs initialization:

Manual

You can install Elixir-Mode manually by placing Elixir-Mode on your load-path and require ing it. Many people favour the folder ~/.emacs.d/vendor.

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/vendor")
(require 'elixir-mode)

Usage

Interactive Commands

Command (For the M-x prompt.) Description
elixir-mode Switches to elixir-mode.
elixir-mode-open-github Open the GitHub page for Elixir.
elixir-mode-open-elixir-home Go to Elixir README in the browser.
elixir-mode-open-docs-master Open the Elixir documentation for the master.
elixir-mode-open-docs-stable Open the Elixir documentation for the latest stable release.
elixir-mode-show-version Print version info for elixir-mode.

Configuration

Any file that matches the glob *.ex[s] or *.elixir is automatically opened in elixir-mode, but you can change this functionality easily.

;; Highlights *.elixir2 as well
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.elixir2\\'" . elixir-mode))

Keymapping

Keymaps can be added to the elixir-mode-map variable.

Pairing

Smartparens has direct support for Elixir.

Alternatively, if you want to use ruby-end-mode, you can add the following to your elixir-mode-hook:

(add-to-list 'elixir-mode-hook
             (defun auto-activate-ruby-end-mode-for-elixir-mode ()
               (set (make-variable-buffer-local 'ruby-end-expand-keywords-before-re)
                    "\\(?:^\\|\\s-+\\)\\(?:do\\)")
               (set (make-variable-buffer-local 'ruby-end-check-statement-modifiers) nil)
               (ruby-end-mode +1)))

Notes

This package is tested only with a single version of OTP and 3 versions of Elixir. Please, always report versions (Emacs, Elixir and Erlang/OTP) when raising issues.

Elixir Tooling Integration

If you looking for elixir tooling integration for Emacs, check: alchemist.el

You can use web-mode.el to edit elixir templates (eex files).

mix.el provides a minor mode for integration with Mix, a build tool that ships with Elixir.

Elixir Format

M-x elixir-format

Add elixir-mode hook to run elixir format on file save

;; Create a buffer-local hook to run elixir-format on save, only when we enable elixir-mode.
(add-hook 'elixir-mode-hook
          (lambda () (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'elixir-format nil t)))

To use a .formatter.exs you can either set elixir-format-arguments globally to a path like this:

(setq elixir-format-arguments (list "--dot-formatter" "/path/to/.formatter.exs"))

or you set elixir-format-arguments in a hook like this:

(add-hook 'elixir-format-hook (lambda ()
                                 (if (projectile-project-p)
                                      (setq elixir-format-arguments
                                            (list "--dot-formatter"
                                                  (concat (locate-dominating-file buffer-file-name ".formatter.exs") ".formatter.exs")))
                                   (setq elixir-format-arguments nil))))

In this example we use Projectile to determine if we are in a project and then set elixir-format-arguments accordingly. Please note that this code snippet may cause unhappiness if there is no .formatter.exs file available.
