The `mix` manager uses Renovate's implementation of [Elixir SemVer](https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Version.html#module-requirements) to evaluate update ranges.
The `mix` package manager itself is used to keep the lock file up-to-date.
The following `depTypes` are currently supported by the `mix` manager :
- `prod`: all dependencies by default
- `dev`: dependencies with [`:only` option](https://hexdocs.pm/mix/Mix.Tasks.Deps.html#module-dependency-definition-options) not containing `:prod`
### Default `rangeStrategy=auto` behavior
Renovate's default [`rangeStrategy`](../../../configuration-options.md#rangestrategy) is `"auto"`.
Here's how `"auto"` works with the `mix` manager:
| Version type | New version | Old range | New range after update | What Renovate does |
| :----------------------- | :---------- | :-------------------- | :--------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Complex range | `1.7.2` | `< 1.7.0 or ~> 1.7.1` | `< 1.7.0 or ~> 1.7.2` | Widen range to include the new version. |
| Simple range | `0.39.0` | `<= 0.38.0` | `<= 0.39.0` | If update outside current range: widens range to include the new version. |
| Exact version constraint | `0.13.0` | `== 0.12.0` | `== 0.13.0` | Replace old version with new version. |
### Recommended `rangeStrategy` for apps and libraries
For applications, we recommend using `rangeStrategy=pin`.
This pins your dependencies to exact versions, which is generally considered [best practice for apps](../../../dependency-pinning.md).
For libraries, use `rangeStrategy=widen` with version ranges in your `mix.exs`.
This allows for greater compatibility with other projects that may use your library as a dependency.
