elm-server
An npm package for compiling, serving, and hot-reloading Elm code.
Installation
$ npm install -g elm-server
Getting started
By default elm-server will direct produce and serve an html file in your current directory.
$ elm-server path/to/Main.elm
Usage
Usage: bin [options] <inputFile> [inputFiles...] Options: -h, --help output usage information -V, --version output the version number -o, --output <path> Path to elm-make output [index.html]. -s, --start-path <path> Initial path when opening browser. -w, --watch <directory> Path to served directory. Defaults to directory of output file path.
output
In most cases you'll want to specify an output file path in your project's assets directory.
$ elm-server src/elm/Main.elm --output assets/index.html
watch
Specifying a watched directory is useful when you want to serve assets in development which aren't generated from elm-make, like images and css.
$ elm-server src/elm/Main.elm --output assets/html/index.html --watch assets
This will allow elm-server to serve all files in the assets directory.
start-path
The initial path opened in the browser on start, for convenience.
$ elm-server src/elm/Main.elm \ --output assets/js/elm.js \ --watch assets \ --start-path html/index.html
Programmatic Usage
In addition to providing a cli, elm-server can also be called programmatically.
const elmServer = ; ;
or in the case of multiple entrypoints,
const elmServer = ; ;
