Elm dev environment with hot-loading (i.e. state is retained as you edit your code - Hot Module Reloading, HMR)). I use this daily for my professional work. Like elm-community/elm-webpack-starter but using Webpack 4.
Clone this repo into a new project folder and run install script. (You will probably want to delete the .git/ directory and start version control afresh.)
With npm
$ git clone [email protected]:simonh1000/elm-webpack-starter.git new-project
$ cd new-project
$ npm install
Start with Elm debug tool with either
$ npm start
or
$ npm start --nodebug
the --nodebug
removes the Elm debug tool. This can become valuable when your model becomes very large.
Open http://localhost:3000 and start modifying the code in /src. Note that this starter expects you have installed elm-format globally.
An example using Routing is provided in the navigation
branch
Build production assets (js and css together) with:
npm run prod
Just add to src/assets/
and the production build copies them to /dist
elm-test init
is run when you install your dependencies. After that all you need to do to run the tests is
yarn test
Take a look at the examples in tests/
If you add dependencies to your main app, then run elm-test --add-dependencies
Elm-analyse is a "tool that allows you to analyse your Elm code, identify deficiencies and apply best practices." Its built into this starter, just run the following to see how your code is getting on:
$ npm run analyse
$ circleci local execute --job build
This starter includes Babel so you can directly use ES6 code.

npm run dev
maps to webpack-dev-server --hot --colors --port 3000
where
--hot
Enable webpack's Hot Module Replacement feature--port 3000
- use port 3000 instead of default 8000- inline (default) a script will be inserted in your bundle to take care of reloading, and build messages will appear in the browser console.
--colors
should show the colours created in the original Elm errors, but does not (To Fix)
One alternative is to run webpack-dev-server --hot --colors --host=0.0.0.0 --port 3000
which will enable your dev server to be reached from other computers on your local network
