Hey folks!
In igniter, a core concept we have is `mix igniter.install dep`, which
patches the `mix.exs` file, recompiles the app accordingly, and then looks
for a mix task called `mix <dep>.install`, and invokes it. There are lots
of other features, but this is the crux of it.
In an ideal world, I could patch the `mix.exs` file with a new dependency
and run `Mix.Tasks.run("deps.compile")`.
What we're doing now:
I don't necessarily want to dive too deep into what I'm currently doing, as
we do have something working (but far from ideal) but its through a lot of
trial and error is a bit of a mess. It also recompiles every dependency
every time. I'd much rather revisit this from a fresh perspective.
So with that in mind, what would the recommended way to approach this idea
be?
Specifically, how could I write a mix task that can patch the `mix.exs`
file, and then compile the new dependency or dependencies?
