How it works

From `mix.exs` to billed in four steps.

The free core counts and gates, persists to Postgres and sums across nodes. Add Aurora Meter Pro when you want Stripe to charge for it.

01

Add the dependency

Pull in the free MIT core from Hex. Pro is a drop-in add-on when you need billing.
step 01
```
def deps do
  [
    {:aurora_meter, "~> 0.3"}
  ]
end
```

Declare your plans

A compile-time DSL, validated at compile time. Hard caps, metered overage, and boolean capabilities all live in one place.

step 02

defmodule MyApp.Plans do
  use AuroraMeter.Plans

  plan :free do
    limit :ai_calls, 100, :hard
  end

  plan :pro do
    metered :ai_calls, included: 10_000, unit_price: 1
    feature :priority_support, true
  end
end

Start it in your tree

One child. It validates config at boot and starts the metering runtime.

step 03

children = [
  MyApp.Repo,
  {Phoenix.PubSub, name: MyApp.PubSub},
  AuroraMeter,
  MyAppWeb.Endpoint
]

04

Count, gate and bill

Three calls. `track` counts, `with_quota` gates-runs-meters atomically, and the LiveView components render live usage. `org` is your tenant: any string or id for the customer, or your own struct via a small `AuroraMeter.Tenant` module.
step 04
```
# count usage
AuroraMeter.track(org, :ai_calls)

# gate + run + meter in one atomic step
AuroraMeter.with_quota(org, :ai_calls, fn ->
  generate_report()
end)
```

step 01 · Add the dependency

def deps do
  [
    {:aurora_meter, "~> 0.3"}
  ]
end

step 02 · Declare your plans

defmodule MyApp.Plans do
  use AuroraMeter.Plans

  plan :free do
    limit :ai_calls, 100, :hard
  end

  plan :pro do
    metered :ai_calls, included: 10_000, unit_price: 1
    feature :priority_support, true
  end
end

step 03 · Start it in your tree

children = [
  MyApp.Repo,
  {Phoenix.PubSub, name: MyApp.PubSub},
  AuroraMeter,
  MyAppWeb.Endpoint
]

step 04 · Count, gate and bill

# count usage
AuroraMeter.track(org, :ai_calls)

# gate + run + meter in one atomic step
AuroraMeter.with_quota(org, :ai_calls, fn ->
  generate_report()
end)
