A community-driven style guide for the Elixir programming language covering formatting, naming, documentation, metaprogramming, and testing conventions. It is a reference document with translations in multiple languages, not executable software.

Use cases

• Elixir naming conventions for modules and functions
• best practices for writing Elixir documentation comments
• when to use parentheses in Elixir
• Elixir style rules for structs and exceptions
• community style guide for Elixir metaprogramming

When to choose

• you want community-accepted conventions for writing idiomatic Elixir
• you are setting up code review standards or formatter config for an Elixir project
• you are learning Elixir and want guidance on idiomatic style

When to avoid

• you need an executable linter or formatter tool rather than a written guide
• your team already enforces style via the built-in Elixir code formatter and Credo
