Elixir Code Smells
Catalog of Elixir-specific code smells
Elixir-Code-Smells is a research-driven catalog of code smells specific to the Elixir programming language. Unlike generic code smell lists, this project identifies issues emerging from Elixir’s functional, concurrent, and process-based nature. Initially compiled via grey literature (blogs, talks, forums), the catalog now includes 23 Elixir-specific smells plus 12 traditional smells adapted to Elixir. Each entry documents the name, category, problem, example, refactoring strategy, and step-by-step treatments. The smells are grouped into two categories: design-related (coarse-grained, harder to detect, affecting architecture/processes) and low-level concerns (fine-grained, often readability and maintainability issues). The catalog evolves with community feedback and contributions, aiming to help developers recognize harmful patterns and apply disciplined refactoring to improve maintainability, testability, and performance in Elixir systems. -

Absinthe
The GraphQL toolkit for Elixir
Absinthe is the GraphQL toolkit for Elixir, an implementation of the GraphQL specification built to suit the language's capabilities and idiomatic style. If you're new to GraphQL, we suggest you read up a bit on GraphQL's foundational principles before you dive into Absinthe. Absinthe's functionality generally falls into two broad areas. Defines the structure of data entities and the relationships between, as well as the available queries, mutations, and subscriptions, using an elegant collection of declarative macros. Absinthe schemas are defined using easy-to-read macros that build and verify their structure at compile-time, preventing runtime errors and increasing performance. The entire query processing pipeline is configurable. Add, swap out, or remove the parser, individual validations, or resolution logic at will, even on a per-document basis. Absinthe includes a number of advanced resolution features. -

Elixir Language Server
A frontend-independent IDE "smartness" server for Elixir
Implementing features such as auto-complete or go-to-definition for a programming language is not trivial. Traditionally, this work had to be repeated for each development tool and it required a mix of expertise in both the targeted programming language and the programming language internally used by the development tool of choice. The Elixir Language Server (ElixirLS) provides a server that runs in the background, providing IDEs, editors, and other tools with information about Elixir Mix projects. It adheres to the LSP, a standard for frontend-independent IDE support. Debugger integration is accomplished through a similar VS Code Debug Protocol. These pages contain all the information needed to configure your favorite text editor or IDE and to work with the ElixirLS. You will also find instructions on how to configure the server to recognize the structure of your projects and to troubleshoot your installation when things do not work as expected. -

Elixir
Dynamic, functional language designed for building scalable apps
Elixir is a dynamic, functional language for building scalable and maintainable applications. Elixir leverages the Erlang VM, known for running low-latency, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems. Elixir is successfully used in web development, embedded software, data ingestion, and multimedia processing, across a wide range of industries. All Elixir code runs inside lightweight threads of execution (called processes) that are isolated and exchange information via messages. Due to their lightweight nature, it is not uncommon to have hundreds of thousands of processes running concurrently in the same machine. Isolation allows processes to be garbage collected independently, reducing system-wide pauses, and using all machine resources as efficiently as possible (vertical scaling). Processes are also able to communicate with other processes running on different machines in the same network. -

Desktop
Building Local-First apps for Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS and Android
desktop enables building cross-platform desktop applications with Elixir by pairing a Phoenix/LiveView UI with a native webview shell. The approach keeps application logic on the BEAM—supervised, fault-tolerant, and hot-reload-friendly—while rendering an HTML/CSS/JS interface inside the system’s embedded browser engine. It offers conveniences for packaging and distribution on Windows, macOS, and Linux, including app metadata, icons, and startup integration. The library exposes desktop-specific affordances such as system tray menus, window management, and notifications, so applications feel native rather than like generic web wrappers. Because LiveView drives the UI, state lives on the server process, enabling real-time updates without heavy client frameworks. The result is a productive stack for tools, dashboards, and utilities where Elixir’s concurrency and resilience shine on the desktop. Teams get to reuse their Phoenix skills and still ship a polished native app experience. -

bors-ng
A merge bot for GitHub Pull Requests
bors-ng is a GitHub merge bot that enforces an “evergreen” main branch by queueing approved pull requests, testing them together on a staging branch, and only advancing main with the exact, passing commit set. Instead of maintainers repeatedly rebasing and merging one PR at a time, bors-ng batches r+-ed PRs, triggers your existing CI (e.g., GitHub Actions), and merges automatically when the batch is green. If a batch fails, it bisects the batch into smaller runs to isolate the culprit, landing the good PRs and kicking only the failing one(s) back for fixes. The bot is implemented as a GitHub App and works alongside—rather than replacing—your CI by reporting commit statuses/checks and acting on PR comments like bors r+ or bors try. It provides a dashboard to watch queue progress, uses separate staging/trying branches for merge/test cycles, and supports both public GitHub and GitHub Enterprise endpoints. -

Dialyxir
Mix tasks to simplify use of Dialyzer in Elixir projects
Mix tasks to simplify use of Dialyzer in Elixir projects. Elixir 1.6 is required, to support the new pretty printing feature. If your project is not yet on 1.6, continue to specify 0.5 in your mix deps. Warning messages have been greatly improved, but are filtered through the legacy formatter to support your existing ignore files. You can optionally use the new Elixir term format for ignore files. You may want to use the --format short argument in your CI pipelines. There are several formats, also there is a new explain feature - for details see CLI options. If you are planning to use Dialyzer with an application built with the Phoenix Framework, check out the Quickstart wiki. Use dialyxir from the directory of the mix project you want to analyze; a PLT file will be created or updated if required and the project will be automatically compiled.
