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. -

Jason
A blazing fast JSON parser and generator in pure Elixir
A blazing-fast JSON parser and generator in pure Elixir. The parser and generator are at least twice as fast as other Elixir/Erlang libraries (most notably Poison). The performance is comparable to jiffy, which is implemented in C as a NIF. Jason is usually only twice as slow. Both the parser and generator fully conform to RFC 8259 and ECMA 404 standards. The parser is tested using JSONTestSuite. The package can be installed by adding jason to your list of dependencies in mix.exs. Jason follows the JSON spec more strictly, for example, it does not allow unescaped newline characters in JSON strings - e.g. "\"\n\"" will produce a decoding error. No support for decoding into data structures (the as: option). No built-in encoders for MapSet, Range and Stream. No support for encoding arbitrary structs - explicit implementation of the Jason.Encoder protocol is always required. Different pretty-printing customization options (default pretty: true works the same). -

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. -

ExMachina
Create test data for Elixir applications
ExMachina is part of the thoughtbot Elixir family of projects. ExMachina makes it easy to create test data and associations. It works great with Ecto, but is configurable to work with any persistence library. And start the ExMachina application. For most projects (such as Phoenix apps) this will mean adding :ex_machina to the list of applications in mix.exs. You can skip this step if you are using Elixir 1.4 or later. Add your factory module inside test/support so that it is only compiled in the test environment. build/2 is a function call. As such, it gets evaluated immediately. By default, ExMachina will merge the attributes you pass into build/insert into your factory. But if you want full control of your attributes, you can define your factory as accepting one argument, the attributes being passed into your factory. -

Pow Auth
Robust, modular, and extendable user authentication system
A robust, modular and extendable. User management solution. Pow is a complete authentication and user management library built in Elixir that works out-of-the-box for Phoenix and Plug-based applications while being fully customizable. Pow gives you out-of-the-box authentication and user management for your Phoenix or Plug-based app. Functionally built so it's fully customizable. Strong security is a core tenet of Pow's philosophy, which is why Pow by default uses short lived sessions. If your app requires stateless tokens, the authorization layer can be replaced in minutes. Pow has been used in countless production apps and is a "batteries included" library for production. The cache backend store used for session storage can be replaced with any key-value store of your choice. The built-in Mnesia cache module works both for clusters and single-machine persistence, which can auto-connect to the cluster on startup and self-heal after netsplit. -

Wallaby
Concurrent browser tests for your Elixir web apps
Wallaby helps you test your web applications by simulating realistic user interactions. By default, it runs each test case concurrently and manages browsers for you. Here's an example test for a simple Todo application. Because Wallaby manages multiple browsers for you, it's possible to test several users interacting with a page simultaneously. Read on to see what else Wallaby can do or check out the Official Documentation. Wallaby also requires bash to be installed. Generally, bash is widely available, but it does not come pre-installed on Alpine Linux. If you're testing a Phoenix application with Ecto and a database that supports sandbox mode, you can enable concurrent testing by adding the Phoenix.Ecto.SQL.Sandbox plug to your Endpoint. It's important that this is at the top of endpoint.ex before any other plugs. -

observer_cli
Visualize Erlang/Elixir Nodes On The Command Line
Observer CLI is a library to be dropped into any beam nodes, to be used to assist DevOps people to diagnose problems in production nodes. Provide a high-performance tool usable both in development and production settings. Focus on important and detailed information about real-time running systems. Keep minimal consumption. Increments are values that are mostly useful when compared to a previous one to have an idea of what they're doing because otherwise, they'd never stop increasing: bytes in and out of the node, number of garbage collector runs, words of memory that were garbage collected, and the global reductions count for the node. Total scheduler utilization will equal 1.0 when all schedulers have been active all the time between the two refresh intervals. The result being that there is a decent chunk of CPU usage that would be mostly free for scheduling actual Erlang work (assuming the schedulers are busy waiting more than trying to select tasks to run). -

Benchee
Easy and extensible benchmarking in Elixir
Library for easy and nice (micro) benchmarking in Elixir. Benchee allows you to compare the performance of different pieces of code at a glance. It is also versatile and extensible, relying only on functions. There are also a bunch of plugins to draw pretty graphs and more! Benchee runs each of your functions for a given amount of time after an initial warmup, it then measures their run time and optionally memory consumption. It then shows different statistical values like average, standard deviation etc. The aforementioned plugins like benchee_html make it possible to generate nice-looking HTML reports, where individual graphs can also be exported as PNG images. first runs the functions for a given warmup time without recording the results, to simulate a "warm"/running system. Plugin/extensible-friendly architecture so you can use different formats to display benchmarking results as HTML, markdown, JSON, and more. -

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. -
