Exploring Adobe's Elixir Styler for Code Formatting
ElixirCasts episode 176 provides a guide on utilizing Adobe's Elixir Styler, a code formatting tool which functions as a plugin for Elixir's mix format. The episode introduces the problems with code styling that Elixir developers encounter, such as deprecation warnings and improper code indentation, and showcases how Elixir Styler can automatically correct these issues. The tutorial demonstrates setting up Styler in an Elixir project by adding it to the project's dependencies, configuring the formatter, and executing it via the mix format command. It emphasizes the convenience that Styler brings by automatically writing the moduledoc attribute, changing Logger.warn to Logger.warning due to deprecation, as well as switching from Map.merge to Map.put for single key/value pairs. Additionally, there's a mention of some post-configuration steps like adjusting the line length in the formatter configuration and disabling certain Credo checks to avoid conflicts.
