elm-app package install <package-name>
To use JavaScript packages from npm, you'll need to add a package.json
, install the dependencies and you're ready to go.
npm init -y # Add package.json
npm install --save-dev pouchdb-browser # Install library from npm
// Use in your JS code
var PouchDB = require('pouchdb-browser');
var db = new PouchDB('mydb');

elm-package.json
src/
favicon.ico
index.html
index.js
main.css
Main.elm
tests/
elm-package.json
Main.elm
Tests.elm
For the project to build, these files must exist with exact filenames:
src/index.html
is the page template;src/favicon.ico
is the icon you see in the browser tab;src/index.js
is the JavaScript entry point.
You can delete or rename the other files.
You may create subdirectories inside src.
In the project directory you can run:
Builds the app for production to the dist
folder.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.
Run tests with node-test-runner
Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject
, you can’t go back!
If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject
at any time.
Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (Webpack, Elm Platform, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject
will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.
You don’t have to ever use eject
. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
Create Elm App does not rely on global installation of Elm Platform, but you still can use it's local Elm Platform to access default command line tools:
Alias for elm-package
Use it for installing Elm packages from package.elm-lang.org
Alias for elm-repl
Alias for elm-make
Alias for elm-reactor
Remember to disable safe write if you are using VIM or IntelliJ IDE, such as WebStrom.
