Providing default implementations - a design problem with protocols

Every time I’ve personally started off with a protocol for some generic piece of functionality, I’ve eventually switched to a behaviour. I believe they are both more explicit and more flexible, and lend themselves well to the defoverridable strategy that @al2o3cr mentioned.

defmodule AdminResources.User do
  use Admin.Resource, schema: App.Accounts.User
  # defines default impls for all required callbacks

  # override where needed
  @impl true
  def whatever do
    …
  end
end
