LeaveNhA's solution to DOT DSL in the Elixir Track.

DOT DSL

Write a Domain Specific Language similar to the Graphviz dot language.

A Domain Specific Language (DSL) is a small language optimized for a specific domain.

For example the DOT language allows you to write a textual description of a graph which is then transformed into a picture by one of the Graphviz tools (such as dot). A simple graph looks like this:

graph {
    graph [bgcolor="yellow"]
    a [color="red"]
    b [color="blue"]
    a -- b [color="green"]
}

Putting this in a file example.dot and running dot example.dot -T png -o example.png creates an image example.png with red and blue circle connected by a green line on a yellow background.

Create a DSL similar to the dot language.

Running tests

Execute the tests with:

$ mix test

Pending tests

In the test suites, all but the first test have been skipped.

Once you get a test passing, you can unskip the next one by commenting out the relevant @tag :pending with a # symbol.

For example:

# @tag :pending
test "shouting" do
  assert Bob.hey("WATCH OUT!") == "Whoa, chill out!"
end

Or, you can enable all the tests by commenting out the ExUnit.configure line in the test suite.

# ExUnit.configure exclude: :pending, trace: true

If you're stuck on something, it may help to look at some of the available resources out there where answers might be found.
