Where can I find ExampleWeb.Router.RoutexHelpers?

This module does not have a code file. It is generated during compile time by Routex. You should be able to see a message in the output like the one below:

Completed: ExampleWeb.RoutexCldrBackend  Routex.Extension.VerifiedRoutes.create_helpers/3
Create or update helper module ExampleWeb.Router.RoutexHelpers

Once your project is compiled, you can access it in iex.

iex> exports ExampleWeb.Router.RoutexHelper
alternatives/1                     attrs/1                            on_mount/4
sigil_o/2                          sigil_p/2                          url/1
url/2                              url/3                              url_phx/1

iex> h ExampleWeb.Router.RoutexHelper.attrs

          def attrs(url)
Returns Routex attributes of given URL

Compilation

If you run into compilation issues try these solutions first. If they do not solve the issue or the issue re-appears, fell free to open an issue.

Clearing your _build folder

Clearing your build folder might fix issues; especially when the order of module compilation is the suspect.

rm -Rf _build && mix compile

Debugging

When your application fails to compile you might find the cause by setting the environment variable ROUTEX_DEBUG to true.

ROUTEX_DEBUG=true mix compile

Do note that this might show early compilation issues, but will make the final compilation fail at all times.
