# MixScript

A build utility that allows you to to use mix packages in an elixir script.

## Example

Let us say, you have a file at `~/scripts/elixir_curl.exs`

```elixir
mix_dep {:httpotion, ">0.0.0"}

if args == [] do
IO.puts "invalid args"
else
IO.inspect HTTPotion.get(hd args)
end
```

You can run the following:

```
# compile our elixir script
mix_script compile ~/scripts/elixir_curl.exs
# run it with args
~/scripts/elixir_curl http://google.com
> %HTTPotion.Response{body: "\n302 Moved\n

302 Moved

\nThe document has moved\nhere.\r\n\r\n",
headers: %HTTPotion.Headers{hdrs: %{"cache-control" => "private",
"content-length" => "261", "content-type" => "text/html; charset=UTF-8",
"date" => "Mon, 15 May 2017 20:31:08 GMT",
"location" => "http://www.google.co.in/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=DBAaWbWTLurx8AeKp4uwCg",
"referrer-policy" => "no-referrer"}}, status_code: 302}
```

## Installation

```
mix escript.install hex mix_script
```

**This will install the binary into your `$HOME/.mix/escripts` directory, so make sure that is part of your `$PATH`**

## TODO
- [ ] Make this more efficient by using a common directory for the mix packages
- [ ] Make it usable via a shebang `#!/usr/bin/env mix_script` which does compilation and execution
