iex package

This package provides Elixir developers with the ability to run an Elixir IEx (REPL) session in an Atom window. It has only been tested on OS X and is unlikely to work properly (or at all) on other platforms.

Installation

apm install iex

It is highly recommended that you add the key bindings below. These can be customized as desired. They are not set by default to avoid conflicts with other packages.

Features

Aside from typing directly in the IEx session, the plugin provides actions to improve workflow:

• Reset the project, restarting the application and compiling any files that have changed since the last restart
• Run all tests in the project
• Run all tests in the currently open editor
• Run the test in the open editor in which the cursor resides
• Execute the currently selected text

These actions depend on mix, so they only work for mix generated projects and require a mix.exs file at the top level.
