Elixir installation guide

Version numbers should be the ones you want. Here I do it with the last ones available at the moment of writing.

The simplest way to install elixir is using your package manager. Sadly, at the time of writing only Fedora shows the intention to keep its packages up to date. There you can simply sudo dnf install erlang elixir and you are good to go.

Anyway, if you intend to work with several versions of erlang or elixir at the same time, or you are tied to a specific version, you will need to compile it yourself. Then asdf is your best friend.

Rails Generating & Scaffolding

Rails' use of strict naming conventions means a lot of core code SHOULD be in the same format whoever writes it? It could be written by a friend, colleague or a computer... it shouldn't matter because the same Rails rules apply to everyone.

This means that Rails can actually do some tasks for you! It can actually build things and write code on your behalf...

Coming from another language like PHP, this can seem like magic.

Single responsibility principle

Probably the most well known principle, and one that should try to adhere to most of the time.

Let's say you have this code:

class AuthenticatesUser
  def authenticate(email, password)
    if matches?(email, password)

	# scopes, instance & class methods, associations, and more.
	# Pick and choose what you want, as all models don't NEED to be tested at this depth.
	#
	# I'm always eager to hear new tips & suggestions as I'm still new to testing,
	# so if you have any, please share!

	visit(post_comments_path(post))

	=Clicking links and buttons=
	click_link('id-of-link')
	click_link('Link Text')
	click_button('Save')
	click('Link Text') # Click either a link or a button
	click('Button Value')
