Searching Database…

What is this?A curated directory of awesome Elixir (and Erlang) libraries, resources and shiny things, inspired by awesome-php. It is a reading list of packages, not a tool you install.
How is the list organized?One index split into dozens of topic categories - Actors, Algorithms, Authentication, Frameworks, Testing, JSON and more - with a one-line description per entry, plus a Resources section for books, cheat sheets and screencasts.
Where should someone new to Elixir start in this list?Start with the Resources section - it collects Books, Cheat Sheets, Community links, Screencasts and Websites - then use the category index to find libraries for the task at hand.
How do packages make it onto the list?It is community-curated: if you think a package should be added, you give it a thumbs-up on the according issue or create a new one.
Is it only for Elixir developers, or does it cover Erlang too?Both. Alongside Elixir packages it lists Erlang libraries like erlang-algorithms, an Erlang trie implementation and bpe, a business process engine in Erlang.
Does it cover AI and machine learning libraries?Yes - an Artificial Intelligence section lists Axon (Nx-powered neural networks), ExLLama (LlamaCpp NIF extensions for Elixir/Erlang) and GenAI, a completion wrapper for Gemini, Anthropic, OpenAI and Mistral models.
Are there complete sample applications, not just libraries?Yes. The Applications section includes Phoenix Trello and Phoenix Toggl (Phoenix + React tributes), the CaptainFact video fact-checking platform and tty2048, a terminal-based 2048 game.
I am building a web app - what here is relevant for me?Separate categories cover Frameworks, HTTP, REST and API, Templating, HTML and Forms, and many showcased apps are built with Phoenix, the main Elixir web framework.
