After learning the basic terms in Elixir, I don’t know how to proceed further. I have no idea about using Elixir knowledge in practice. I need level up. But how?

So, I thought to share one of my approaches. Hope this will help them to reach next level in Elixir.

So, let's build some innovative stuff in elixir.

Let’s dive into the code.

Creating the Mix project

A very basic step

mix new commandline

After creating the project, traverse the project structure.

You will find the lib folder contains project code files and mix.exs file contains details of the application or project meta data like dependencies, creator, links, etc...

Now, compile the project by running the command mix or mix compile being in your project root directory.
