https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2024/12/19/elixir-v1-18-0-released/

Elixir v1.18 is an impressive release with improvements across the two main efforts happening within the Elixir ecosystem right now: set-theoretic types and language servers. It also comes with built-in JSON support and adds new capabilities to its unit testing library. Here is a quick break down.

Type system improvements

The most exciting change in Elixir v1.18 is type checking of function calls, alongside gradual inference of patterns and return types. To understand how this will impact your programs, consider the following code in "lib/user.ex":

defmodule User do
  defstruct [:age, :car_choice]

  def drive(%User{age: age, car_choice: car}, car_choices) when age >= 18 do
    if car in car_choices do
      {:ok, car}
    else
      {:error, :no_choice}
    end
  end

  def drive(%User{}, _car_choices) do
    {:error, :not_allowed}
  end
end

Elixir's type system will infer that the drive/2 function expects a %User{} struct and returns either {:ok, dynamic()}, {:error, :no_choice}, or {:error, :not_allowed}.

Therefore, the following code in a separate module (either in a separate or the same file), should emit a violation, due to an invalid argument:

User.drive({:ok, %User{}}, car_choices)

Here is the warning:

    warning: incompatible types given to User.drive/2:

        User.drive({:ok, %User{age: nil, car_choice: nil}}, car_choices)

    given types:

        {:ok, %User{age: nil, car_choice: nil}}, empty_list()

    but expected one of:

        dynamic(%User{age: term(), car_choice: term()}), dynamic()

    where "car_choices" was given the type:

        # type: empty_list()
        # from: lib/foo.ex:21:17
        car_choices = []

    typing violation found at:
    │
 22 │     User.drive({:ok, %User{}}, car_choices)
    │          ~
    │
    └─ lib/foo.ex:22:10: Example.run/0

The mismatched arguments are shown in red, if your terminal supports ANSI coloring.

And the next snippet will warn because the :error clause will never match, as that's not a valid return type of the User.drive/2 call:

case User.drive(user, car_choices) do
  {:ok, car} -> car
  :error -> Logger.error("User cannot drive")
end

And here is the warning:

    warning: the following clause will never match:

        :error

    because it attempts to match on the result of:

        User.drive(user, car_choices)

    which has type:

        dynamic({:ok, term()} or {:error, :no_choice} or {:error, :not_allowed})

    typing violation found at:
    │
 26 │       :error -> Logger.error("User cannot drive")
    │       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    │
    └─ lib/foo.ex:26: Example.run/0

For more details on typing inference and the trade-offs made by the Elixir team, see our official documentation.

There are many other improvements to the type system, which we will go in detail within the official release. Meanwhile, here is a list summary of the overall improvements done to the type system:

  • Type inference of patterns (typing inference of guards will be part of an upcoming release)

  • Type checking of all language constructs, including local and remote calls, except for, with, and closures

  • Type checking of all functions inlined by the compiler found in Kernel

  • Type checking of all conversion functions inlined by the compiler

  • Support for tuples and lists as composite types as well as type checking of their basic operations

  • Detection of clauses and patterns that will never match from case, cond, and =

  • Detection of unused clauses in private functions

ExUnit improvements

ExUnit now supports parameterized tests to run the same test module multiple times under different parameters.

For example, Elixir ships a local, decentralized and scalable key-value process storage called Registry. The registry can be partitioned and its implementation differs depending if partitioning is enabled or not. Therefore, during tests, we want to ensure both modes are exercised. With Elixir v1.18, we can achieve this by writing:

defmodule Registry.Test do
  use ExUnit.Case,
    async: true,
    parameterize: [
      %{partitions: 1},
      %{partitions: 8}
    ]

  # ... the actual tests ...
end

ExUnit parameterizes whole test modules. If your modules are configured to run concurrently, as above, so will the parameterized ones.

ExUnit also comes with the ability of specifying test groups. While ExUnit supports running tests concurrently, those tests must not have shared state between them. However, in large applications, it may be common for some tests to depend on some shared state, and other tests to depend on a completely separate state. For example, part of your tests may depend on Cassandra, while others depend on Redis. Prior to Elixir v1.18, these tests could not run concurrently, but in v1.18 they might as long as they are assigned to different groups. Tests modules within the same group do not run concurrently, but across groups, they might.

With features like async tests, suite partitioning, and now grouping, Elixir developers have plenty of flexibility to make the most use of their machine resources, both in development and in CI.

mix format --migrate

The mix format command now supports an explicit --migrate flag, which will convert constructs that have been deprecated in Elixir to their latest version. Because this flag rewrites the AST, it is not guaranteed the migrated format will always be valid when used in combination with macros that also perform AST rewriting.

As of this release, the following migrations are executed:

  • Normalize parens in bitstring modifiers - it removes unnecessary parentheses in known bitstring modifiers, for example <<foo::binary()>> becomes <<foo::binary>>, or adds parentheses for custom modifiers, where <<foo::custom_type>> becomes <<foo::custom_type()>>.

  • Charlists as sigils - formats charlists as ~c sigils, for example 'foo' becomes ~c"foo".

  • unless as negated ifs - rewrites unless expressions using if with a negated condition, for example unless foo do becomes if !foo do.

More migrations may be added in future releases.

JSON support

This release includes official support for JSON encoding and decoding.

Both encoder and decoder fully conform to RFC 8259 and ECMA 404 standards.

Encoding

Encoding can be done via JSON.encode!/1 and JSON.encode_to_iodata!/1 functions. The default encoding rules are applied as follows:

Elixir JSON
integer() | float() Number
true | false Boolean
nil Null
binary() String
atom() String
list() Array
%{binary() => _} Object
%{atom() => _} Object
%{integer() => _} Object

You may also implement the JSON.Encoder protocol for custom data structures. Elixir already implements the protocol for all Calendar types.

If you have a struct, you can derive the implementation of the JSON.Encoder by specifying which fields should be encoded to JSON:

  @derive {JSON.Encoder, only: [...]}
  defstruct ...

Decoding

Decoding can be done via JSON.decode/2 and JSON.decode!/2 functions. The default decoding rules are applied as follows:

JSON Elixir
Number integer() | float()
Boolean true | false
Null nil
String binary()
Object %{binary() => _}

Language server listeners

4 months ago, we welcomed the Official Language Server team, with the goal of unifying the efforts behind code intelligence, tools, and editors in Elixir. Elixir v1.18 brings new features on this front by introducing locks and listeners to its compilation. Let's understand what it means.

At the moment, all language server implementations have their own compilation environment. This means that your project and dependencies during development are compiled once, for your own use, and then again for the language server. This duplicate effort could cause the language server experience to lag, when it could be relying on the already compiled artifacts of your project.

This release address by introducing a compiler lock, ensuring that only a single operating system process running Elixir compiles your project at a given moment, and by providing the ability for one operating system process to listen to the compilation results of others. In other words, different Elixir instances can now communicate over the same compilation build, instead of racing each other.

These enhancements do not only improve editor tooling, but they also directly benefit projects like IEx and Phoenix. For example, you can invoke IEx.configure(auto_reload: true) and IEx will automatically reload modules changed elsewhere, either by a separate terminal or your IDE.

Potential incompatibilities

This release no longer supports WERL (a graphical user interface on Windows used by Erlang 25 and earlier). For a better user experience on Windows terminals, use Erlang/OTP 26+ (this is also the last Elixir release to support Erl...

https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2024/06/12/elixir-v1-17-0-released/

This release includes type inference of patterns to provide warnings for an initial set of constructs (binaries, maps, and atoms) within the same function. It also includes a new Duration data type to interact with Calendar types, support for Erlang/OTP 27, and many other improvements.

Warnings from gradual set-theoretic types

This release introduces gradual set-theoretic types to infer types from patterns and use them to type check programs, enabling the Elixir compiler to find faults and bugs in codebases without requiring changes to existing software. The underlying principles, theory, and roadmap of our work have been outlined in "The Design Principles of the Elixir Type System" by Giuseppe Castagna, Guillaume Duboc, José Valim.

At the moment, Elixir developers will interact with set-theoretic types only through warnings found by the type system. The current implementation models all data types in the language:

  • binary(), integer(), float(), pid(), port(), reference() - these types are indivisible. This means both 1 and 13 get the same integer() type.

  • atom() - it represents all atoms and it is divisible. For instance, the atom :foo and :hello_world are also valid (distinct) types.

  • map() and structs - maps can be "closed" or "open". Closed maps only allow the specified keys, such as %{key: atom(), value: integer()}. Open maps support any other keys in addition to the ones listed and their definition starts with ..., such as %{..., key: atom(), value: integer()}. Structs are closed maps with the __struct__ key.

  • tuple(), list(), and function() - currently they are modelled as indivisible types. The next Elixir versions will also introduce fine-grained support to them.

We focused on atoms and maps on this initial release as they are respectively the simplest and the most complex types representations, so we can stress the performance of the type system and quality of error messages. Modelling these types will also provide the most immediate benefits to Elixir developers. Assuming there is a variable named user, holding a %User{} struct with an address field, Elixir v1.17 will emit the following warnings at compile-time:

  • Pattern matching against a map or a struct that does not have the given key, such as %{adress: ...} = user (notice address vs adress)

  • Accessing a key on a map or a struct that does not have the given key, such as user.adress

  • Updating a struct or a map that does not define the given key, such as %{user | adress: ...}

  • Invoking a function on non-modules, such as user.address()

  • Capturing a function on non-modules, such as &user.address/0

  • Attempting to invoke to call an anonymous function without an actual function, such as user.()

  • Performing structural comparisons with structs, such as my_date < ~D[2010-04-17]

  • Performing structural comparisons between non-overlapping types, such as integer >= string

  • Building and pattern matching on binaries without the relevant specifiers, such as <<name>> (this warns because by default it expects an integer, it should have been <<name::binary>> instead)

  • Attempting to rescue an undefined exception or a struct that is not an exception

  • Accessing a field that is not defined in a rescued exception

These new warnings help Elixir developers find bugs earlier and give more confidence when refactoring code, especially around maps and structs. While some of these warnings were emitted in the past, they were discovered using syntax analysis. The new warnings are more reliable, precise, and with better error messages. Keep in mind, however, that the Elixir typechecker only infers types from patterns within the same function at the moment. Analysis from guards and across function boundaries will be added in future relases. For more details, see our new reference document on gradual set-theoretic types.

The type system was made possible thanks to a partnership between CNRS and Remote. The development work is currently sponsored by Fresha, Starfish*, and Dashbit.

Erlang/OTP support

This release adds support for Erlang/OTP 27 and drops support for Erlang/OTP 24. We recommend Elixir developers to migrate to Erlang/OTP 26 or later, especially on Windows. Support for WERL (a graphical user interface for the Erlang terminal on Windows) will be removed in Elixir v1.18.

Adding Duration and shift/2 functions

Elixir introduces the Duration data type and APIs to shift dates, times, and date times by a given duration, considering different calendars and time zones.

iex> Date.shift(~D[2016-01-31], month: 2)
~D[2016-03-31]

Note the operation is called shift (instead of add) since working with durations does not obey properties such as associativity. For instance, adding one month and then one month does not give the same result as adding two months:

iex> ~D[2016-01-31] |> Date.shift(month: 1) |> Date.shift(month: 1)
~D[2016-03-29]

Still, durations are essential for building intervals, recurring events, and modelling scheduling complexities found in the world around us. For DateTimes, Elixir will correctly deal with time zone changes (such as Daylight Saving Time), but provisions are also available in case you want to surface conflicts (for example, you shifted to a wall clock that does not exist, because the clock has been moved forward by one hour). See DateTime.shift/2 for examples.

Finally, a new Kernel.to_timeout/1 function has been added, which helps developers normalize durations and integers to a timeout used by Process APIs. For example, to send a message after one hour, one can now write:

Process.send_after(pid, :wake_up, to_timeout(hour: 1))
