elm-webpack-starter

About:

A simple Webpack setup for writing Elm apps:

• Dev server with live reloading, HMR
• Support for CSS/SCSS (with Autoprefixer), image assets
• Bootstrap 3.3+ (Sass version)
• Bundling and minification for deployment
• Basic app scaffold, using Html.beginnerProgram
• A snippet of example code to get you started!

Install:

Clone this repo into a new project folder, e.g. my-elm-project:

git clone https://github.com/moarwick/elm-webpack-starter my-elm-project
cd my-elm-project

Re-initialize the project folder as your own repo:

rm -rf .git         # on Windows: rmdir .git /s /q
git init
git add .
git commit -m 'first commit'

Install all dependencies using the handy reinstall script:

npm run reinstall

This does a clean (re)install of all npm and elm packages, plus a global elm install.

Serve locally:

npm start

• Access app at http://localhost:8080/
• Get coding! The entry point file is src/elm/Main.elm
• Browser will refresh automatically on any file changes..

Build & bundle for prod:

npm run build

• Files are saved into the /dist folder
• To check it, open dist/index.html
