Apex v0.2.0 currently throws compilation warnings and errors.

➜  dmr-watch git:(master) ✗ mix deps.compile

could not compile dependency apex, mix compile failed. You can recompile this dependency with `mix deps.compile apex` or update it with `mix deps.update apex`

Hi,

Can you add this?

defimpl Apex.Format, for: Reference do
import Apex.Format.Utils

def format(data, options \ []) do
colorize(inspect(data), data, options) <> new_line
end
end

If you want a pull req, let me know, otherwise if you have time, can you add it?

Thanks
Ernie

Passing Elixir AST (for instance, the output of quote) triggers the "Elixir record" behavior here.

Example:

iex(3)> ast = quote do
...(3)>   foo[1].bar
...(3)> end
{{:., [], [{{:., [], [Access, :get]}, [], [{:foo, [], Elixir}, 1]}, :bar]}, [],
 []}
iex(4)> Apex.ap(ast)
{
  [0] .{
    [0] []
    [1] [
      [0] {
        [0] .{
          [0] []
          [1] [
            [0] :Elixir.Access
            [1] :get
          ]
        }
        [1] []
        [2] [
          [0] foo{
            [0] []
            [1] :Elixir
          }
          [1] 1
        ]
      }
      [1] :bar
    ]
  }
  [1] []
  [2] []
}

Would a "no srsly I don't have records here" option make sense? Something like the numbers: false setting.

With pry and AwesomePrint, there is a way to make AwesomePrint the default inspector, so that just typing in an expression is equivalent to ap expression. I believe you just need to require AwesomePrint in the .pryrc and issue a AwesomePrint.pry! which does the magic.

Is there any way you'd consider looking into this for Apex? The one thing I miss the most about Ruby is the combination of pry and AwesomePrint --> IEx isn't nearly as nice, but having Apex built in would go a long way :)

As far as I can tell this isn't possible yet with Apex. The color choices appear to be hardcoded in lib/apex/format/color.ex, but it would be fantastic if we could tweak them the way we can in AwesomePrint.

How would I debug something like the following? I'm having trouble debugging controllers in Phoenix. This is just one example.

  adef submitted(conn, _params) do
    render(conn, "submitted.html")
  end

When I do Apex.submitted(conn, params) in the iex console, I get iex:6: undefined function conn/0. I had already imported the module itself.

Hi,
Could you please add a git tag for the latest version? It would be quite useful for building FreeBSD ports.

I want to use Apex in my logging, as it makes maps a whole lot easier to read.

To log something in Elixir, one would use Logger.debug(string), or variants of it.

doing Logger.debug(Apex.ap(something)) will not work, as Apex.ap will actually print the formatted result of something to STDOUT, while something will be returned to the input of Logger.debug.

Now, Apex internally formats the string using Apex.Format.format. I would like a shorter version of that, so the log-statements do not become hard to read.

Is this a good idea?

Hi, can you tag the latest release? :)

Hi there,

Great package, but I was wondering if it would be possible to get Apex to return without all the [i]- this for me makes it really hard to read! It would be great if we could pass an option to Apex.apto do this.

I sometimes launch iex in a CMD shell and there the colors do absolutely nothing, they even make it worse because CMD is happy to parse the codes without interpreting them.

Maybe an option inside the user's mix.exs file could address that? Say, enable_colors which is by default true but can be set to false if desired?

This seems like an important compile warning for apex:

warning: function List.unzip/1 is undefined or private
  lib/apex/awesome_def.ex:52

And indeed, there is no List.unzip function in the Elixir module list.

or maybe it can just be implemented by defimpl Apex.Format, for: Set either way, its too trivial to PR :)
