Awesome
Notice: This repository is now archived. Thank you for over 192,000 downloads since December 2017. While I think Elixir is an awesome ecosystem, I no longer have the chance to be developing using Elixir on a regular basis. :'(
Licensir
An Elixir mix task that list the license(s) of all installed packages in your project.
Installation
The package can be installed by adding :licensir
to your list of dependencies in mix.exs
:
def deps do
[
{:licensir, "~> 0.7", only: :dev, runtime: false}
]
end
This mix task in most cases only needs to be run on a development machine and independent from the runtime applications, hence the only: dev, runtime: false
options.
Install locally
If you do not wish to include this tool as part of your dependencies, you may also install it locally by running:
$ mix archive.install hex licensir 0.7.0
Now you can access this tool from any path on your local machine that has access to mix
.
Usage
Run mix licenses
to get the list of packages and their licenses:
$ mix licenses

Run mix licenses --csv
to output in csv format:
Package,Version,License
certifi,,BSD
earmark,1.3.2,Apache 2.0
ex_doc,0.20.2,Apache 2.0
excoveralls,,"Unsure (found: MIT, Unrecognized license file content)"

Flags
--top-level-only
- Only fetch license information from top level dependencies (e.g. packages that are directly listed in your application'smix.exs
). Excludes transitive dependencies.
Usage as a library
You may call the function Licensir.Scanner.scan()
from your Elixir application to get a list of license data per dependency.
iex> Licensir.Scanner.scan([])
[
%Licensir.License{
app: :jason,
dep: %Mix.Dep{
app: :jason,
deps: ...
},
file: "Apache 2",
hex_metadata: ["Apache 2.0"],
license: "Apache 2.0",
mix: nil,
name: "jason",
version: nil
},
%Licensir.License{...},
...
