This is the start of an Elixir port of the ActiveSupport Rubygem. Contributions welcome.
Contributions are especially welcomed! Take a look at [CONTRIBUTING.md] for
more information.
We test against the following combinations of Erlang/OTP and Elixir. Other combinations are not officially supported.
- Erlang/OTP
18.0and Elixir1.0.5
This project is still alpha software. APIs and supported Elixir and/or Erlang versions may change at a moments notice. Use with discretion.
The following places contain documentation on Crutches:
- API reference on Hexdocs, the standard Elixir documentation hoster.
- Wiki—still under construction.
This library is a great for Elixir beginners to contribute to. We are porting over ActiveSupport, an addition to the standard library of the Ruby programming language. Most of the function documentation and specs have been written already. This allows the contributor to focus on the syntax and nuances of Elixir. The bonus here is that the contributor will be helping an open source project while learning the basics.
Take a look at [CONTRIBUTING.md] for more information on how you can get
started.
ActiveSupport has some great goodies that are useful in web application development. Furthermore the design pattern for ActiveSupport, and it's use cases, are not hard to understand. If you are coming from the Rails community, being a contributor on this project shouldn't be overly difficult. And if you're not, just give it a try!
