ExSync

Yet another Elixir reloader.

System Support

ExSync deps on FileSystem

Usage

1. Create a new application:

    mix new my_app
   

2. Add exsync to your mix.exs dependencies:

    def deps do
      [ {:exsync, "~> 0.2", only: :dev} ]
    end
   

3. Start your application the usual way, e.g., iex -S mix, then:

    ExSync.start()
   

4. (Alternative) Always start ExSync when available, add the following to an application's start/2:

    defmodule MyApp do
      use Application
   
      def start(_type, _args) do
        import Supervisor.Spec, warn: false
   
        case Code.ensure_loaded(ExSync) do
          {:module, ExSync} ->
            ExSync.start()
          {:error, :nofile} ->
            :ok
        end
   
        # ... rest of your applications start script.
      end
    end
   

Usage for umbrella project

1. Create an umbrella project

    mix new my_umbrella_app --umbrella
   

2. Add exsync to your mix.exs dependencies:

    def deps do
      [ {:exsync, "~> 0.2", only: :dev} ]
    end
   

3. start your umbrella project with exsync task

    iex -S mix exsync
