Elm 0.19 Frontend for Chit-Chat-Toe-Server

Backend: https://github.com/marsojm/chit-chat-toe-server

Installation

Clone this repo into a new project folder and run install script.

With npm

$ git clone https://github.com/marsojm/chit-chat-toe-elm.git new-project
$ cd new-project
$ npm install

Developing

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. (An example using Routing is provided in the navigation branch)

Production

Build production assets (js and css together) with:

npm run prod

Static assets

Just add to src/assets/ and the production build copies them to /dist

Testing

Install elm-test globally

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

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

Circle CI

$ circleci local execute --job build

How it works

webpack-serve --hot --colors --port 3000
webpack-serve --hot --host=0.0.0.0 --port 3000

• --hot Enable webpack's Hot Module Replacement feature
• --host=0.0.0.0 - enable you to reach your dev environment from another device - e.g your phone
• --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.
