Async claude ai example
 
 
Explain to me the relationship between handle_info and making an async call
 
The relationship between handle_info and making async calls in Phoenix LiveView is fundamental to understanding how to handle non-blocking operations in your application.
 
When you make an asynchronous call in Elixir (like using Task.async), you're creating a separate process that runs independently from your LiveView process. This allows your LiveView to remain responsive while potentially time-consuming operations (like API calls) are happening.
 
Here's how they work together:
 
Async Operation Initiation: When you start an async operation using Task.async, it returns a reference to the task.
Message Passing: When the async task completes, it automatically sends a message back to the process that created it. This message contains the task reference and the result: {ref, result}.
handle_info Reception: The handle_info/2 callback in LiveView is what receives these messages. It's like a mailbox for your LiveView process that handles any messages not related to LiveView events.
Process Cleanup: After receiving the result, you typically call Process.demonitor(ref, [:flush]) to clean up process monitoring and prevent receiving a :DOWN message when the task process exits.
This pattern creates a complete async lifecycle:
 
Start async task →
Task runs independently →
Task completes and sends message →
handle_info receives message →
Update LiveView state
In the example I provided, there's a clear separation of concerns:
 
Task.async(fn -> api() end) starts the async operation
handle_info({ref, result}, socket) receives and processes the result
The LiveView remains responsive throughout the entire operation
This pattern is what makes LiveView capable of handling concurrent operations while maintaining a responsive UI for users.

Send messages via these functions wrapped in module functions .You can look at these are functions used to fire "GenServer Events".


* start_link
<source>
* GenServer.call
* GenServer.cast


The corresponding server functions that reply are:


* init
defmodule Heading do
* handle__call
  use Phoenix.Component
* handle_cast
  def head(assigns) do
*
  ~H"""
 
    <p>Hello, <%= @headings %>!</p>
 
  """
  end
end
 


These can be looked at as "listeners" - in JavaScript parlance.
__________________________________________


If you have experience with programming languages other than Elixir the idea of GenServers may be very foreign and require a strong context shift to learn. This document is intended to simplify the concept.
defmodule AppWeb.PageLive do

To understand CRUD forms you will need to understand the following concepts.  


App is split:


App that captures RSS in UI and lets admin select stories. THere are settings to determine the number of FEATURED,CHILD and LINK stories.
* Ecto Schema
News categories are horizontal and scrollable.
* Ecto Context
This exports a json doc with all RSS data for each story.
* Form Basics
The
* form/1
* simple_form/1
* changesets
 
We are not going to go in order.
 
 
 
The Context provides CRUD functions for the chosen data schema. Phoenix contexts define the interface through which other parts of the codebase can interact with the app layer.

* Create routes
* create page with form (submit get request)
 
(ecto schema, context, changesets)








App that reads the json data. This app creates tables and is the front end.

== Developer Notes ==
_______________________________________________________
===Groups Feature ===
In that case, you really should switch it to prod mode. Instead of doing all that above with the "config/secret.exs" file, create the ".env" in the project root, then add DotenvParser.load_file(".env") to "config/runtime.exs" as the first line inside the if config_env() == :prod do. In the .env file, set the DATABASE_URL and SECRET_KEY_BASE. Then run it as MIX_ENV=prod mix phx.server.
To complete this feature do these things.
 
* Run through the steps in [http://elixirblocks.com/index.php?title=Create_Foreign_Key_Relationship_Between_Ecto_Tables  | this document] to create Group table.
<source>
* Groups have these fields  '''name: string''', '''description: string''' and '''color: string''' 
* Add unique constraint in migration file:


<pre>
  def change do
    create unique_index(:groups, [:name])
  end
</pre>


* Port over Group LiveView code (temporarily placed at discussion page).
  def get_titles do
* On completion '''possibly''', create a Group named '''No Group''' and set all Testbeds to it.

Most programming languages give you the ability to set global state by creating globally scoped variables. Elixir does not do this. Instead, Elixir provides a tool called a "processes" to persist  state. Elixir applications are composed of these "processes".
 
Processes by themselves are complicated to use, thus Elixir provides abstractions to make working with processes easier. One of these abstractions is called a GenServer.
 
GenServers are not only used to store state, they are also used to invoke work independent of the main application process.
 
==Creating a GenServer to Store State==
 
To Create a GenServer, start by creating a basic Module that ''uses'' the GenServer module (image below)
 
<source>
 
defmodule App do 
   use GenServer
 
 
end
end


</source>
</source>
______________________________________________________________
 
We now need to describe the actions we want to perform. Being that this is used to store state, we will use basic CRUD actions: Create, Read, Update, Delete. To begins, empty functions describing each action is created.


<source>
<source>


defmodule AppWeb.ReceiveLive do
defmodule App do
  use AppWeb, :live_view
  def create do  
 
 
  def mount(_params, _session, socket) do
  end
    if connected?(socket) do
  def read do  
      AppWeb.Endpoint.subscribe(topic)
 
    end
  end
    {:ok, assign(socket, messages: "")}
  end
 
  def handle_info(%{event: "message", payload: message}, socket) do
    IO.inspect message
    {:noreply, assign(socket, messages: message)}
  end
 


  defp topic do
  def update do
    "chat"
  end


  def render(assigns)do 
   end
   ~H"""
<div>
  <h1>ChatLive</h1>
  <%= @messages %>


  def delete do


</div>
  end

  end
 
end
end

When you hover over a list of items this hook finds items with the same name and sets the opacity of all others to 0. You see all the items similar to the one you are hovering over.
==What now?==
 
To fill in the functions with the appropriate code we must first have a basic understanding of how GenServers are structured.
 
GenServers are composed of the GenServer module invoking callbacks. The callbacks have built in names that you, as a developer have to use.
 
These callbacks are named:
 
* init
* handle_cast
* handle_call
 
 
To demonstrate, here is an example :


<source>
<source>


TestbedVersionHover: {
{:ok, pid} = GenServer.start(ModuleNameOfGenServer, %{})
// https://jsfiddle.net/IrvinDominin/7K2Z3/
</source>
            mounted() {
 
The above function named "start" calls the function named init in the Module below.
In GenServer syntax the name of the GenServer functions always invoke callbacks that are determined by the language.  
 
<source>
 
defmodule ModuleNameOfGenServer do
  # 1
  def init(state \\ %{}) do
    {:ok, state}
  end
</source>


                let rows = document.getElementsByClassName("testbed-version")
                // this.ele = element
// rows = this.ele;
               
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
rows[i].onmouseenter = function (event) {
for (var j = 0; j < rows.length; j++) {
let preversion = this.textContent;
let version = preversion.slice(0,5)
let compareVersion = rows[j].textContent.slice(0,5)
if (compareVersion === version) continue
rows[j].className += " other";
}
};
rows[i].onmouseleave = function (event) {
var hovers = document.getElementsByClassName('other');
var len = hovers.length;
for (var j = 0; j < len; j++) {
hovers[0].className = hovers[0].className.replace(/\sother(\s|$)/, '');
}
};
}


                // this.ele.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
This is a list of the GenServer functions and their corresponding callbacks.
                //    console.log(e.target)
                   
                // });


            }
* GenServer.start/1  -->      init/1
        }
* GenServer.call/3  -->      def handle_call/3
</source>
* GenServer.cast/2  -->       handle_cast/2

===Groups Feature ===
defmodule AppWeb.GroupLive do
To complete this feature do these things.
  use AppWeb, :live_view
* Run through the steps in [http://elixirblocks.com/index.php?title=Create_Foreign_Key_Relationship_Between_Ecto_Tables  | this document] to create Group table.
   alias App.TestBeds
* Groups have these fields  '''name: string''', '''description: string''' and '''color: string''' 
  alias App.Groups
* Add unique constraint in migration file:
 
<pre>
  def change do
    create unique_index(:groups, [:name])
   end
</pre>


* Port over Group LiveView code (temporarily placed at discussion page).
* On completion '''possibly''', create a Group named '''No Group''' and set all Testbeds to it.

____________________________________________________________________
 
 
== How to Create a Mix Project and Use It in Another Mix Project ==
 
To create and use a **Mix project** inside another **Mix project** in Elixir, follow the steps below:
 
=== 1. Create a New Mix Project ===
 
First, you need to create a new Mix project. Let's call this project `library_project`. Run the following command:
 
<pre>
mix new library_project --module LibraryProject
</pre>
 
This will create a new Elixir Mix project named `library_project`. The `--module` flag specifies the name of the module that will be created (in this case `LibraryProject`).
 
The directory structure of `library_project` will look like this:
 
<pre>
library_project/
  |_ lib/
      |_ library_project.ex
  |_ mix.exs
</pre>
 
You can then add some basic functionality inside the `library_project/lib/library_project.ex` file:
 
<pre>
defmodule LibraryProject do
  def hello do
    IO.puts "Hello from LibraryProject!"
  end
end
</pre>
 
Now, `library_project` is ready to be used by another Mix project.
 
=== 2. Create a Second Mix Project ===
 
Next, create the second Mix project where you want to use `library_project`. For example:
 
<pre>
mix new app_project --module AppProject
</pre>
 
This will create another Elixir project called `app_project`.
 
The directory structure for this project will look like:
 
<pre>
app_project/
  |_ lib/
      |_ app_project.ex
  |_ mix.exs
</pre>
 
=== 3. Add `library_project` as a Dependency in `app_project` ===
 
Now, you want to make `library_project` available in `app_project`. There are two main ways to do this:
 
==== Option 1: Local Dependency (via `path`) ====
 
If `library_project` is a local project (i.e., it's stored in a different directory), you can add it to the `mix.exs` of `app_project` as a local dependency by specifying the path to `library_project`.
 
Edit the `mix.exs` of `app_project`:
 
<pre>
defmodule AppProject.MixProject do
  use Mix.Project
 
  def project do
    [
      app: :app_project,
      version: "0.1.0",
      elixir: "~> 1.14",
      start_permanent: Mix.env() == :prod,
      deps: deps()
    ]
  end
 
  defp deps do
    [
      {:library_project, path: "../library_project"}  # Add the local dependency
    ]
  end
end
</pre>
 
Here, `{:library_project, path: "../library_project"}` tells Mix to use the local `library_project` located in the `../library_project` directory (relative to `app_project`).
 
After updating the `mix.exs`, run the following command:
 
<pre>
cd app_project
mix deps.get
</pre>
 
This will fetch the dependency and compile `library_project`.
 
==== Option 2: Publish and Fetch as a Hex Package ====
 
If you want to use `library_project` as a package in another project (for example, by publishing it to **Hex.pm**, Elixir’s package manager), you need to publish it to Hex and then add it as a dependency.
 
1. Publish `library_project` to Hex (if it's public or for your private use).
2. Add `library_project` to your `app_project`’s `mix.exs` dependencies:
 
<pre>
defp deps do
  [
    {:library_project, "~> 0.1.0"}  # Specify the published version from Hex
  ]
end
</pre>
 
Run `mix deps.get` to fetch the package from Hex.
 
=== 4. Use `library_project` in `app_project` ===
 
Now, you can use the functionality from `library_project` inside your `app_project`. For example, in `app_project/lib/app_project.ex`, you can call the function from `library_project`:
 
<pre>
defmodule AppProject do
  def start do
    IO.puts "Starting app_project!"
    LibraryProject.hello()  # Call the function from the library_project
  end
end
</pre>
 
=== 5. Run the App ===
 
Finally, you can run your `app_project`:
 
<pre>
cd app_project
mix run -e "AppProject.start()"
</pre>
 
This will print:
 
<pre>
Starting app_project!
Hello from LibraryProject!
</pre>


                  <%!-- <option value= {"#{group.id}"}><%=group.name %></option> --%>
== Recap of the Process ==
                  <!-- Write code to reorder with testbed.group_id matching group_id -->
1. **Create the `library_project`**: Use `mix new` to generate a library project.
 
2. **Create the `app_project`**: Create the second project where you will use the library.
                  <%= if group !== nil do %>
3. **Add the `library_project` as a dependency**:
                      <option value= {"#{group.id}"}><%=group.name %></option>
  - Use the `path` option to point to the local project or publish it to Hex for public access.
     
4. **Use the `library_project` in the `app_project`**: Call functions or use modules from the library inside the second project.
                  <% end %>
5. **Run the app**: Use `mix run` to execute the project.


This way, you can reuse code from one Mix project in another by adding it as a dependency.

Overloaded functions are extremely common in Elixir applications. They are
regularly used for recursive functions and for changing behavior based on
configuration.

Async claude ai example


Explain to me the relationship between handle_info and making an async call

The relationship between handle_info and making async calls in Phoenix LiveView is fundamental to understanding how to handle non-blocking operations in your application.

When you make an asynchronous call in Elixir (like using Task.async), you're creating a separate process that runs independently from your LiveView process. This allows your LiveView to remain responsive while potentially time-consuming operations (like API calls) are happening.

Here's how they work together:

Async Operation Initiation: When you start an async operation using Task.async, it returns a reference to the task. Message Passing: When the async task completes, it automatically sends a message back to the process that created it. This message contains the task reference and the result: {ref, result}. handle_info Reception: The handle_info/2 callback in LiveView is what receives these messages. It's like a mailbox for your LiveView process that handles any messages not related to LiveView events. Process Cleanup: After receiving the result, you typically call Process.demonitor(ref, [:flush]) to clean up process monitoring and prevent receiving a :DOWN message when the task process exits. This pattern creates a complete async lifecycle:

Start async task → Task runs independently → Task completes and sends message → handle_info receives message → Update LiveView state In the example I provided, there's a clear separation of concerns:

Task.async(fn -> api() end) starts the async operation handle_info({ref, result}, socket) receives and processes the result The LiveView remains responsive throughout the entire operation This pattern is what makes LiveView capable of handling concurrent operations while maintaining a responsive UI for users. ________________________

    Task.async(fn -> api() end)
    {:noreply, socket}
  end

  def handle_info({ref, result}, socket) when is_reference(ref) do

  • Create a form with a post request.
  • Create the route needed for that request
  • Create the controller needed for that route


Form

<.form action={~p"/todos"} method="post" class="mt-10 space-y-8">
  <div>
    <label for="contact_name" class="block text-sm font-semibold leading-6 text-zinc-800">
      Name
    </label>
    <input
      id="todo"
      type="text"
      name="todo"
      class="mt-2 block w-full rounded-lg text-zinc-900 focus:ring-0 sm:text-sm sm:leading-6 border-zinc-300 focus:border-zinc-400"
    />
  </div>

  <button

  >
    Save Contact
  </button>

</.form>


Controller

# In your TodoController
defmodule AppWeb.TodoController do
  use AppWeb, :controller

  # Action to handle the form submission (POST request)
  def create(conn, %{"todo" => todo_name}) do
    # Here you can handle the form data (e.g., save it to the database)
    IO.puts("Received Todo: #{todo_name}")

    # For now, let's just redirect to the home page
    conn
    |> put_flash(:info, "Todo saved!")
    |> redirect(to: "/")
  end
end

  1. CRUD Forms

To understand CRUD forms you will need to understand the following concepts.


  • Ecto Schema
  • Ecto Context
  • Form Basics
  • form/1
  • simple_form/1
  • changesets

We are not going to go in order.


The Context provides CRUD functions for the chosen data schema. Phoenix contexts define the interface through which other parts of the codebase can interact with the app layer.


_______________________

  • Create routes
  • create page with form (submit get request)

(ecto schema, context, changesets)









_______________________________________________________ In that case, you really should switch it to prod mode. Instead of doing all that above with the "config/secret.exs" file, create the ".env" in the project root, then add DotenvParser.load_file(".env") to "config/runtime.exs" as the first line inside the if config_env() == :prod do. In the .env file, set the DATABASE_URL and SECRET_KEY_BASE. Then run it as MIX_ENV=prod mix phx.server.

Changeset notes and forms

NOTE: Use case statements for pattern matching ____________________________________________

Create a basic <.form></form> without error handling

<.form :let={f} for={@changeset}  action={~p"/items"} >

  <.input field={f[:title]} type="text" label="Title" />
  
  <.button>Save Item</.button>
   
</.form>

With error handling looks like this:




<.form :let={f} for={@changeset}  action={~p"/items"} >

  <.error :if={@changeset.action}>
    Oops, something went wrong! Please check the errors below.
  </.error>


  <.input field={f[:title]} type="text" label="Title" />
  
  <.button>Save Item</.button>
   
</.form>

Create the routes for render and post to endpoint.


The controller for the page render needs to pass in the changeset via ```Items.change_item(%Item{})```


  def new(conn, _params) do
    changeset = Items.change_item(%Item{})
    render(conn, :new, changeset: changeset)
  end


Post route without error handling


  def create(conn, %{"item" => item_params}) do
    case Items.create_item(item_params) do
      {:ok, item} ->
        conn
        |> put_flash(:info, "Item created successfully.")
        |> redirect(to: ~p"/items/#{item}")
    end
  end

With error handling

  def create(conn, %{"item" => item_params}) do
    case Items.create_item(item_params) do
      {:ok, item} ->
        conn
        |> put_flash(:info, "Item created successfully.")

Ecto.Adapters.SQL.query(Repo, "select * from artists where id=1")


Ecto cheatsheet: https://hexdocs.pm/ecto/crud.html __________________________________________________________________ Most programming languages give you the ability to set global state by creating globally scoped variables. Elixir does not do this. Instead, Elixir provides a tool called a "processes" to persist state. Elixir applications are composed of these "processes".

Processes by themselves are complicated to use, thus Elixir provides abstractions to make working with processes easier. One of these abstractions is called a GenServer.

GenServers are not only used to store state, they are also used to invoke work independent of the main application process.

Creating a GenServer to Store State

To Create a GenServer, start by creating a basic Module that uses the GenServer module (image below)


defmodule App do  
  use GenServer


end

We now need to describe the actions we want to perform. Being that this is used to store state, we will use basic CRUD actions: Create, Read, Update, Delete. To begins, empty functions describing each action is created.


defmodule App do
   def create do 

   end
   def read do 

   end

   def update do  

   end 

   def delete do 

   end

end

What now?

To fill in the functions with the appropriate code we must first have a basic understanding of how GenServers are structured.

GenServers are composed of the GenServer module invoking callbacks. The callbacks have built in names that you, as a developer have to use.

These callbacks are named:

  • init
  • handle_cast
  • handle_call


To demonstrate, here is an example :


{:ok, pid} = GenServer.start(ModuleNameOfGenServer, %{})

The above function named "start" calls the function named init in the Module below. In GenServer syntax the name of the GenServer functions always invoke callbacks that are determined by the language.


defmodule ModuleNameOfGenServer do
  # 1
  def init(state \\ %{}) do
    {:ok, state}
  end


This is a list of the GenServer functions and their corresponding callbacks.

  • GenServer.start/1 --> init/1
  • GenServer.call/3 --> def handle_call/3
  • GenServer.cast/2 --> handle_cast/2


Start and Call

Call and Cast can be used to perform the same operations. The

__________________________________________________________ Genserver timed events

defmodule Go do
  use GenServer

  def go() do
    GenServer.start_link(__MODULE__, [])
  end

  def init(list) do
    :timer.apply_interval(1000, __MODULE__, :add, [self(), "weeeee"])
    {:ok, list}
  end

  def view(pid) do
    GenServer.call(pid, :view)
  end

  def handle_call(:view, _from, list) do
    {:reply, list, list}
  end

  def add(pid, new_item) do
    GenServer.call(pid, {:item, new_item})
  end

  def handle_call({:item, new_item}, _from, state) do
    result = [new_item] ++ state
    {:reply, result, result}
  end
end


defmodule ShoppingList do
  use GenServer

  def start_link() do
    GenServer.start_link(ShoppingList, [])
  end

  def init(list) do
    {:ok, list}
  end

  def view(pid) do
    GenServer.call(pid, :view)
  end

  def handle_call(:view, _from, list) do
    {:reply, list, list}
  end

  def add(pid, new_item) do
    GenServer.call(pid, {:item, new_item})
  end

  def handle_call({:item, new_item}, _from, state) do
    result = [new_item] ++ state
    {:reply, result, result}
  end
end


https://blog.appsignal.com/2018/06/12/elixir-alchemy-deconstructing-genservers.html


defmodule KeyValue do
  # 1
  def init(state \\ %{}) do
    {:ok, state}
  end
 
  # 2
  def handle_cast({:put, key, value}, state) do
    {:noreply, Map.put(state, key, value)}
  end
 
  # 3
  def handle_call({:get, key}, _from, state) do
    {:reply, Map.fetch!(state, key), state}
  end
end

# {:ok, pid} = GenServer.start(KeyValue, %{})
# GenServer.cast(pid, {:put, :foo, "bar"})
# GenServer.call(pid, {:get, :foo})




Send messages via these functions wrapped in module functions .You can look at these are functions used to fire "GenServer Events".

  • start_link
  • GenServer.call
  • GenServer.cast

The corresponding server functions that reply are:

  • init
  • handle__call
  • handle_cast

These can be looked at as "listeners" - in JavaScript parlance. __________________________________________

If you have experience with programming languages other than Elixir the idea of GenServers may be very foreign and require a strong context shift to learn. This document is intended to simplify the concept.

  • What: GenServers are simply a way to hold state and/or invoke actions based on incoming events.
  • when
  • where
  • why
  • how

  use GenServer

    :timer.send_interval(1000, :xyz)

  def handle_info(:xyz, state) do
    IO.inspect(state)
    {:noreply, state + 1}
  end
end

Developer Notes

Groups Feature

To complete this feature do these things.

  • Run through the steps in | this document to create Group table.
  • Groups have these fields name: string, description: string and color: string
  • Add unique constraint in migration file:
  def change do
     create unique_index(:groups, [:name])
  end
  • Port over Group LiveView code (temporarily placed at discussion page).
  • On completion possibly, create a Group named No Group and set all Testbeds to it.

How to Create a Mix Project and Use It in Another Mix Project

To create and use a **Mix project** inside another **Mix project** in Elixir, follow the steps below:

1. Create a New Mix Project

First, you need to create a new Mix project. Let's call this project `library_project`. Run the following command:

mix new library_project --module LibraryProject

This will create a new Elixir Mix project named `library_project`. The `--module` flag specifies the name of the module that will be created (in this case `LibraryProject`).

The directory structure of `library_project` will look like this:

library_project/
  |_ lib/
      |_ library_project.ex
  |_ mix.exs

You can then add some basic functionality inside the `library_project/lib/library_project.ex` file:

defmodule LibraryProject do
  def hello do
    IO.puts "Hello from LibraryProject!"
  end
end

Now, `library_project` is ready to be used by another Mix project.

2. Create a Second Mix Project

Next, create the second Mix project where you want to use `library_project`. For example:

mix new app_project --module AppProject

This will create another Elixir project called `app_project`.

The directory structure for this project will look like:

app_project/
  |_ lib/
      |_ app_project.ex
  |_ mix.exs

3. Add `library_project` as a Dependency in `app_project`

Now, you want to make `library_project` available in `app_project`. There are two main ways to do this:

Option 1: Local Dependency (via `path`)

If `library_project` is a local project (i.e., it's stored in a different directory), you can add it to the `mix.exs` of `app_project` as a local dependency by specifying the path to `library_project`.

Edit the `mix.exs` of `app_project`:

defmodule AppProject.MixProject do
  use Mix.Project

  def project do
    [
      app: :app_project,
      version: "0.1.0",
      elixir: "~> 1.14",
      start_permanent: Mix.env() == :prod,
      deps: deps()
    ]
  end

  defp deps do
    [
      {:library_project, path: "../library_project"}  # Add the local dependency
    ]
  end
end

Here, `{:library_project, path: "../library_project"}` tells Mix to use the local `library_project` located in the `../library_project` directory (relative to `app_project`).

After updating the `mix.exs`, run the following command:

cd app_project
mix deps.get

This will fetch the dependency and compile `library_project`.

Option 2: Publish and Fetch as a Hex Package

If you want to use `library_project` as a package in another project (for example, by publishing it to **Hex.pm**, Elixir’s package manager), you need to publish it to Hex and then add it as a dependency.

1. Publish `library_project` to Hex (if it's public or for your private use). 2. Add `library_project` to your `app_project`’s `mix.exs` dependencies:

defp deps do
  [
    {:library_project, "~> 0.1.0"}  # Specify the published version from Hex
  ]
end

Run `mix deps.get` to fetch the package from Hex.

4. Use `library_project` in `app_project`

Now, you can use the functionality from `library_project` inside your `app_project`. For example, in `app_project/lib/app_project.ex`, you can call the function from `library_project`:

defmodule AppProject do
  def start do
    IO.puts "Starting app_project!"
    LibraryProject.hello()  # Call the function from the library_project
  end
end

5. Run the App

Finally, you can run your `app_project`:

cd app_project
mix run -e "AppProject.start()"

This will print:

Starting app_project!
Hello from LibraryProject!

Recap of the Process

1. **Create the `library_project`**: Use `mix new` to generate a library project. 2. **Create the `app_project`**: Create the second project where you will use the library. 3. **Add the `library_project` as a dependency**:

  - Use the `path` option to point to the local project or publish it to Hex for public access.

4. **Use the `library_project` in the `app_project`**: Call functions or use modules from the library inside the second project. 5. **Run the app**: Use `mix run` to execute the project.

This way, you can reuse code from one Mix project in another by adding it as a dependency.

Overloaded functions are extremely common in Elixir applications. They are regularly used for recursive functions and for changing behavior based on configuration.
