# `Espex.Mdns.MdnsLite`
[🔗](https://github.com/bbangert/espex/blob/main/lib/espex/mdns/mdns_lite.ex#L1)

Default `Espex.Mdns` adapter backed by the
[`:mdns_lite`](https://hex.pm/packages/mdns_lite) library — the mDNS
responder shipped with Nerves.

Espex does **not** declare `:mdns_lite` as a runtime dependency; this
module uses late-binding (`Code.ensure_loaded?/1` + `apply/3`) so the
espex library compiles and loads on systems that don't have it. If a
consumer wires this adapter without pulling `:mdns_lite` into their
own deps, `c:advertise/1` returns `{:error, :mdns_lite_not_loaded}`
instead of crashing with `UndefinedFunctionError`.

## Usage

Add `:mdns_lite` to your own application's deps:

    # mix.exs
    {:mdns_lite, "~> 0.8"}

then wire the adapter:

    Espex.start_link(
      device_config: [name: "my-device", ...],
      mdns: Espex.Mdns.MdnsLite
    )
