ElixirKit

ElixirKit helps running Elixir alongside native applications written in Rust.

🚧 ElixirKit is experimental and subject to change without notice.

See examples:

• examples/cli_example - Minimal CLI that communicates with Elixir
• examples/tauri_example - Desktop app using Tauri

Rust API

let command = elixirkit::release(rel_dir, rel_name)

let exit_code = command.start(|(name, data)| {
    match name {
        "echo" => {
            println!("Received: {data}");
        }
        _ => {}
    }
});

API Reference

• elixirkit::release(rel_dir, rel_name) - create command for Elixir release
• elixirkit::Command::new(program, args) - create command for any executable
• command.current_dir(path) - set working directory
• command.env(&[("KEY", "value")]) - set environment variables
• command.start(handler) -> exit_code - start the command and run event loop
• command.send((name, data)) - send message to Elixir side

Elixir API

• ElixirKit.start_link() - start listener, messages from Rust will be delivered as {:event, name, data} tuples
• ElixirKit.publish(name, data) - send message to Rust side

TODO

• Receive {:message, {name, data}} messages to match Rust side
• Change to ElixirKit.send({name, data}) to match Rust side
