ProcessState

Examples of using Elixir Processes to store and manage state. Includes lesser known Process Dictionary. I used this for presenting at an Utah Elixir meetup.

Using

Clone or download the repo.

Experiment in IEx and using your preferred editor.

Example of using the ProcessState.SpawnBasic example.

alias ProcessState.SpawnBasic
pid = SpawnBasic.start(%{counter: 0})
send(pid, {:add, 10})
send(pid, {:add, 1})
send(pid, {:add, 2})

Explanation

I customized Logger output to include some metadata information. Then I use Logger.info to log out information. The logger customization is in config/config.exs.

See the examples directories and single files under the numbered directories.
