This repo contains the catalog for https://elixir-toolbox.dev. The idea is that anyone can suggest new categories and packages.
We appreciate any contribution to the catalog. Please take a moment to read the points below to make the review process easy and effective for everyone.
As of the writing of this page, Elixir has around 13,300 packages in Hex 🎉. It can be tough to find a package if you don't know it beforehand.
The idea of Elixir Toolbox is to help you find the most appropriate package that solves the right problem. It does that by grouping packages into "groups" and "categories".
Not all categories are created equal, and there is room for confusion. We're trying to keep categories lean while not making it time-consuming to find what you're looking for.
A category groups packages that solve the same "problem".
An excellent example of a category is JSON. That's because:
- It's easy to find in the category list
- Packages in that category solve the same "problem" (parsing and serializing of JSON documents)
A not-so-good example of a category is "Database Drivers". That's because:
- It may include MySQL, Postgres, Redis and other drivers. It's not a helpful comparison since you likely already decided which database to use.
- Popularity of the package depends on the popularity of the database.
Groups put Categories together. It exists to declutter the UI and to split categories that have the same "name" but have a different meaning in different contexts.
For example, "Clustering" has at least two meanings: data clustering algorithms and clustering Erlang nodes.
Elixir Toolbox catalog is heavily developed and lacks some groups, so suggestions are welcome.
