lutil

Introduction

This library is the successor to lfe-utils.

Convenience functions that can be included in a rebar deps declaration instead of reimplementing across multiple projects.

Dependencies

This project assumes that you have rebar installed somwhere in your $PATH.

This project depends upon the following, which installed to the deps directory of this project when you run make deps:

• LFE (Lisp Flavored Erlang; needed only to compile)
• ltest (needed only to run the unit tests)

ltest is not included in the rebar.config file, in order to avoid the circular dependency problem of rebar. If you wish to run the unit tests, the make check target will download and compile ltest to avoid the issue with rebar.

Installation

In your rebar.config file, update your deps section to include lutil:

{deps, [
  {lfe, ".*", {git, "git://github.com/rvirding/lfe.git"}},
  {ltest, ".*", {git, "git://github.com/lfex/ltest.git"}},
  {lutil, ".*", {git, "git://github.com/lfex/lutil.git"}}
]}

Usage

Usage is the same as any other Erlang or LFE library :-)
