No Behavior Info

The use of behaviour_info (or behavior_info) attributes should be avoided; use -callback attributes instead.

Avoid

-module(my_behavior).

-export([behavior_info/1]).

behavior_info(callbacks) ->
    [{init, 1}, {handle_call, 3}, {terminate, 2}];
behavior_info(_) ->
    undefined.

Prefer

-module(my_behavior).

-callback init(Args :: term()) -> {ok, State :: term()}.
-callback handle_call(Request :: term(), From :: pid(), State :: term()) -> Result :: any().
-callback terminate(Reason :: term(), State :: term()) -> ok.

Rationale

The -callback attribute is the modern and preferred way to define behavior callbacks in Erlang. The older behavior_info/behaviour_info attributes are deprecated and should be avoided to ensure forward compatibility and better tool support.

Options

• None.

Example configuration

{elvis_style, no_behavior_info, #{}}
