# MixGleam
A mix plugin for compiling Gleam code!
## Installation
Install the Gleam compiler onto your machine. [Installation instructions can
be found here here](https://gleam.run/getting-started/installing-gleam.html).
Add `mix_gleam` to your mix project deps:
```elixir
# in mix.exs
def deps do
[
{:mix_gleam, "~> 0.1.0"},
]
end
```
Configure your mix project to add the Gleam compiler and to compile Erlang
that Gleam generates:
```elixir
# in mix.exs
def project do
[
# ...
erlc_paths: ["src", "gen"],
compilers: [:gleam | Mix.compilers()], # Gleam must go first
]
end
```
Create a `gleam.toml` file containing the name of your OTP application:
```toml
# In a new gleam.toml file
name = "my_cool_project"
```
Make a `src` directory for your Gleam code to live in:
```
mkdir src
```
And add `gen` to your `.gitignore` so that the generated Erlang is not
included in your project.
