Example application for implementing Rust NIFs in Elixir using the Elixir Rustler library with tweaks for Apple Silicon.

These are installation instructions for Mac OS, including some tweaks to get this to work on Apple Silicon using Homebrew.

brew install rustup

brew install rustup

rustup-init

mix new nif_starter

add {:rustler, "~> 0.22.2"}

mix deps.get

mix rustler new

Module Name > NifStarter

Library name > nif_starter

If you are using Apple Silicon you will need to update the .cargo/config file to build the Rust package

[target.'cfg(target_os = "macos")']
rustflags = [
    "-C", "link-arg=-undefined",
    "-C", "link-arg=dynamic_lookup",
]

cargo build

iex -S mix

NifStarter.add(1, 2)
