defmodule Multiverses do @moduledoc """ Elixir introduces into the world of CS, the "multiverse testing" pattern. This is a pattern where tests are run concurrently and each test sees a shard of global state. ## Examples: - `Mox`: each tests has access to the global module mock, sharded by the pid of the running test. - `Ecto`: each test has access to a "database sandbox", which is a checked out transaction on the global database that acts as its own database shard. - `Hound`,`Wallaby`: each test generates an ID that is passed outside of the BEAM that is reintercepted on ingress to the BEAM; this ID is then used to reconnect to the parent test pid. This library implements Multiverses-aware versions of several constructs in the Elixir Standard Library which aren't natively Multiversable. Additional plugins will be provided for other systems, such as Phoenix.PubSub ## Usage In your module where you'll be using at least one multiverse module, use the following header: ```elixir use Multiverses, with: Registry, only: :test ``` this aliases `Multiverses.Registry` to `Registry` and activates the `Multiverses.Registry` macros across this module. As an escape hatch, if you need to use the underlying module, you may use the macro alias `Elixir.Registry` If you need more complex choices for when to activate Multiverses (such as system environment variables), you should encode those choices directly using logic around the `use Multiverses` statement. ### Options - `:with` the names of multiverse modules you'd like to use. May be a single module or a list of modules. Is identical to `require ; alias `. - `:only` activate the multiverse system only in certain Mix environments. May be a single atom or a list of atoms.
