Credo is a static code analysis tool for the Elixir language with a focus on teaching and code consistency.
It can show you refactoring opportunities in your code, complex code fragments, warn you about common mistakes, show inconsistencies in your naming scheme and - if needed - help you enforce a desired coding style.
The easiest way to add Credo to your project is by using Mix.
Add :credo as a dependency to your project's mix.exs:
defp deps do
[
{:credo, "~> 1.4", only: [:dev, :test], runtime: false}
]
endAnd run:
$ mix deps.get
$ mix credo
Documentation is available on Hexdocs
Some IDEs and editors are able to run Credo in the background and mark issues inline.
