Right now, its a bit annoying to lookup the version on hex, and then manually adding it to the deps function.
There was a discussion back in 2017 on this. https://elixirforum.com/t/mix-deps-add-functionality/4856/7 The main problem people have thought about was manipulation of mix.exs, and true, we don't want that. Instead we can use a simple exs file for this, which should be evaluatable to a list. So its a no-brainer to add items to it. For example `mix deps.add jason`. defp deps, do: Code.eval_file("deps.exs") I am posting it here, to get some feedback on that feature, but I think the integration could go into hex only and if its adopted, adding the `deps.exs` file to the `mix new`-templates so please, share you opinions on it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elixir-lang-core" group.
