Hi Kenny,
Unfortunately, I think that macro will not work in all the scenarios :( For
example:
iex_type = if condition?, do: "foo", else: "bar"
import_with_interpolation ".iex.#{iex_type}.exs"
For you use case, I think you could use a similar macro:
defmacro import_iex_type_file do
iex_type = if condition?, do: "foo", else: "bar"
iex_type_file = ".iex.#{iex_type}.exs"
quote do
import_file_if_available unquote(iex_type_file)
end
end
Hope that helps :)
