# Elixir Core Usage Rules
|
||||
|
||||
## Pattern Matching
|
||||
|
||||
- Use pattern matching over conditional logic when possible
|
||||
- Prefer to match on function heads instead of using `if`/`else` or `case` in function bodies
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `{:ok, result}` and `{:error, reason}` tuples for operations that can fail
|
||||
- Avoid raising exceptions for control flow
|
||||
- Use `with` for chaining operations that return `{:ok, _}` or `{:error, _}`
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes to Avoid
|
||||
|
||||
- Elixir has no `return` statement, nor early returns. The last expression in a block is always returned.
|
||||
- Don't use `Enum` functions on large collections when `Stream` is more appropriate
|
||||
- Avoid nested `case` statements - refactor to a single `case`, `with` or separate functions

|
||||
- There are many useful standard library functions, prefer to use them where possible
|
||||
|
||||
## Function Design
|
||||
|
||||
- Use guard clauses: `when is_binary(name) and byte_size(name) > 0`
|
||||
- Prefer multiple function clauses over complex conditional logic
|
||||
- Name functions descriptively: `calculate_total_price/2` not `calc/2`
|
||||
- Predicate function names should not start with `is` and should end in a question mark.
|
||||
- Predicate function names should not start with `is` and should end in a question mark.
|
||||
- Names like `is_thing` should be reserved for guards
|
||||
|
||||
## Data Structures
|
||||
|
||||
- Use structs over maps when the shape is known: `defstruct [:name, :age]`
|
||||
- Prefer keyword lists for options: `[timeout: 5000, retries: 3]`
|
||||
- Use maps for dynamic key-value data

- Read the docs and options fully before using tasks
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
- Run tests in a specific file with `mix test test/my_test.exs` and a specific test
|
||||
with the line number `mix test path/to/test.exs:123`
|
||||
- Run tests in a specific file with `mix test test/my_test.exs` and a specific test with the line number `mix test path/to/test.exs:123`
|
||||
- Limit the number of failed tests with `mix test --max-failures n`
|
||||
- Use `@tag` to tag specific tests, and `mix test --only tag` to run only those tests
|
||||
- Use `assert_raise` for testing expected exceptions: `assert_raise ArgumentError, fn -> invalid_function() end`
|
||||
- Use `mix help test` to for full documentation on running tests
|
||||
|
||||
## Debugging
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `dbg/1` to print values while debugging. This will display the formatted value and other relevant information in the console.

# OTP Usage Rules
|

|
||||
## GenServer Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
- Keep state simple and serializable
|
||||
- Handle all expected messages explicitly
|
||||
- Use `handle_continue/2` for post-init work
|
||||
- Implement proper cleanup in `terminate/2` when necessary
|
||||
|
||||
## Process Communication
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `GenServer.call/3` for synchronous requests expecting replies
|
||||
- Use `GenServer.cast/2` for fire-and-forget messages.
|
||||
- When in doubt, us `call` over `cast`, to ensure back-pressure
|
||||
- Set appropriate timeouts for `call/3` operations
|
||||
|
||||
## Fault Tolerance
|
||||
|
||||
- Set up processes such that they can handle crashing and being restarted by supervisors
|
||||
- Use `:max_restarts` and `:max_seconds` to prevent restart loops
|
||||
|
||||
## Task and Async
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `Task.Supervisor` for better fault tolerance
|
||||
- Handle task failures with `Task.yield/2` or `Task.shutdown/2`
|
||||
- Set appropriate task timeouts
