10 Killer Elixir Tips #10

Being smart can bring you more confidence

Hey Guys!

Welcome back to another set of Elixir Tips. It’s been a great pleasure in writing and sharing with you. Let’s dive in.

1. Elixir’s Ebin Directory

iex> elixir_ebin_path = :code.lib_dir(:elixir, :ebin)

What this for ?

We can find all the protocols available by using elixir_ebin_path .

iex> elixir_ebin_path = :code.lib_dir(:elixir, :ebin)
iex> Protocol.extract_protocols([elixir_ebin_path])

2. Finding Protocol implementations

Let’s check our Enumerable protocol is implemented for bitstring or not.

iex> Enumerable.impl_for(<<>>)
nil

The output for the expression is nil which indicates the Enumerable protocol is not implemented for BitString type if it has implemented, it would give the ModuleName.
