hex-lens README

Hover info for Rebar3 (Erlang) and Mix (Elixir) packages. Shows package version and description.

Combine this extension with hex.pm IntelliSense by benvp to also get autocomplete when typing version numbers in your Elixir mix.exs file!

Features

Rebar hover for BEAM languages (Erlang, Gleam, LFE, etc.) in rebar.config

Mix hover for Elixir in mix.exs

Compatible with your favorite Erlang and Elixir extensions

Works great with other extensions to provide all the things this one doesn’t, such as syntax highlighting, intellisense, and snippets. Currently tested with:

• “Erlang” (pgourlain.erlang)
• “Elixir LS Fork” (elixir-lsp.elixir-ls)
• “hex.pm IntelliSense” (benvp.vscode-hex-pm-intellisense)

Setup

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code - Code editor

Install extension
