Elixir Advent of Code Skeleton

A simple starter app for Advent of Code.

Using a fork of this repo you can run:

mix aoc.gen DAY [--year YEAR]

Running mix aoc.gen 1 (at the start of the 2018 advent of code) will:

• Generate a new module based on the title of the problem at lib/aoc/year_2018/day_01/problem_title.ex
• Roughly parse the html description of the problem into @moduledoc markdown.
• Use your session token to download your unique problem input into priv
• Generate a test file ready to solve the examples and pull in the saved problem input with tags (so slow running, complex days can be skipped later on).

Installation

• Fork this repo
• Grab your browser's session key from Advent Of Code and set it as an environment variable. (Chrome Developer Tools > Application > Cookies > session)

Using this Skeleton

• Run mix aoc.gen 1 to generate your content for the first day
• Read the new module's docs, solve the first part of the problem with TDD 😄.
• Run mix aoc.gen 1 again to append the second part of the problem to your moduledocs.
• Get all the stars.
