The Elixir Style Guide

This is community style guide for the Elixir programming language. Please feel free to make pull requests and suggestions, and be a part of Elixir's vibrant community. If you're looking for other projects to contribute to please see the Hex package manager site. Elixir v1.6 introduced a Code Formatter and Mix format task. The formatter should be preferred for all new projects and source code. The rules in this section are applied automatically by the code formatter, but are provided here as examples of the preferred style. Use Unix-style line endings (*BSD/Solaris/Linux/OSX users are covered by default, Windows users have to be extra careful). Use spaces around operators, after commas, colons and semicolons. Do not put spaces around matched pairs like brackets, parentheses, etc. Whitespace might be (mostly) irrelevant to the Elixir runtime, but its proper use is the key to writing easily readable code.
