Records would help Elixir developers extend the ecosystem
garthk opened this issue · comments
Rather than have everyone write the same code to use Record (see lib/opencensus/logger.ex in #15, Opencensus.Plug, and OpencensusPhoenix) to look into their spans and span contexts for unit tests and other machinery to help make good use of :opencensus, it strikes me we could wrap records for :span and :span_ctx in Opencensus.Elixir. That'd save them the effort, and along with #15 make this module a more useful dependency for other participants of both ecosystems.
Having just had to do that on our internal :opencensus helper, I've got the code handy. Let me know, eh?
Fixed in #20.
