Creating a Source Code Inspector for Elixir Projects
Abhijit Kar ツ shared an experience with creating a Source Code Inspector for front-end web development in an Elixir environment to address the challenges of navigating complex codebases. This tool includes features like tooltips with icons linking to source code or Storybook components and allows for better orientation within large projects. It works throughout the entire codebase and is demonstrated to be effective in LiveView projects. The inspector was inspired by bit.dev and aims to become part of LiveView or Storybook. Although not a library, Abhijit Kar ツ has made the code available and discussed future enhancements, such as automatic integration and real-time REPL-driven development in the browser.
