Great. Thanks José! On Fri, 21 Oct 2016, 07:47 José Valim, <jose.va...@plataformatec.com.br> wrote:
Yes, we could add colors to Inspect.Opts. Keep in mind we want to make coloring customizable, so the :colors value in Inspect.Opts should likely be a key-value thing. Maybe: [number: :red, atom: :blue] and so on? *José Valim* www.plataformatec.com.br Skype: jv.ptec Founder and Director of R&D On Thu, Oct 20, 2016 at 5:50 PM, Louis Pop <louispopin...@gmail.com> wrote: Hey gang! On Saturday we're having a little Elixir build day at work and I thought this could be a fun thing to suggest as a project. I just had a look at IEx and it seems that for printing it delegates to the Inspect protocol for printing. Would it be reasonable to extend this protocol (and Inspect.Opts) to optionally print with colours?

If you believe you can implement any of those improvements, please send a pull request, and we will be glad to further discuss and review them. Keep in mind though some of those improvements would need to be done in Erlang. Detailed feedback below: 1. Ability to paste snippets using cpaste; this would solve the problem of multiline pipes Sounds great. Although to implement this we would need to hook into OS specific APIs? 1. Ability to pickup files in current working directory; completion of filenames etc when writing test code in iex would be very benecifial How would you know though the string you are starting to type is a file name? Do you look for clues such as "/" or "./"? 1. Syntax highlighting; it would be nice to see some syntax highlighting like in the newer version of iPython Sounds great. We already have the code for parsing Elixir and convert it back to string, so the hardest part is done. We just need to decide how to do the coloring. I don't think we will be able to color as you type though, that would likely require additions to the Erlang side of the REPL.
