IExample - Elixir formatted documentation examples.

Usage

Just interpolate the result of iexample into your documentation strings.

Note that for this to work, your docs should allow interpolation (dont use ~S) and the interpolation should happen at the start of a new line.

The iexample/2 macro takes the expression result and a code block, and simply generates an iex example string.

The following code from test/support/example.ex, would generate:

iex> 12 * 3
36

defmodule MyModule do
  import IExample

  @moduledoc """
  Math works

  #{
    iexample(36) do
      12 * 3
    end
  }
  """
end

Then just run mix format and the interpolated code should be formatted for you nicely.

def deps do
  [
    {:iexample, "~> 0.1"}
  ]
end
