Test Module Version Hex Docs Total Download License Last Updated

CustomBase allow you to make custom base conversion in Elixir.

Installation

Add {:custom_base, "~> 0.2"} to deps function in your mix.exs file.

After you are done, run mix deps.get in your shell to fetch and compile CustomBase.

Examples

Lets make Base12 module with conversion described below.

ValueEncoding
00
11
22
33
44
55
66
77
88
99
10A
11B

Add macro to your module:

defmodule Base12 do
  use CustomBase, '0123456789AB'
end

Now your module have 2 functions encode/1 and decode/1:

iex> Base12.encode(9)
"9"
iex> Base12.encode(10)
"A"
iex> Base12.encode(11)
"B"
iex> Base12.encode(12)
"10"
iex> Base12.decode("16")
18
iex> Base12.decode("AB")
131
