I have a library (MyLib) that I use for part of another app’s functionality (MyApp). I’d like to add some conditional code (an Ecto schema definition) to one of the library’s modules only if MyApp has a particular config that points to one of MyApp’s modules (also an Ecto schema). I was hoping to call a function on the MyApp module to get the info about it I need, but it appears to break compilation in certain circumstances because MyApp hasn’t been compiled yet (I was trying to call __schema__/2 to get info about an association).
One option would be to require the MyApp config specify all the data MyLib needs, but that feels a bit clunky and redundant. Is there a way to force MyApp to compile first so that MyLib can access its module’s functions during compilation time? Or is there another, better way to go about what I’m trying to do?
Appreciate any tips/suggestions.
