• Why do I chose elm-boil?

Node >= 12.10.0

  npm install -g elm-boil
  elm-boil init my-elm-app
  cd ./my-elm-app
  npm start

Create a production build with npm run build -- --output my-elm-build

Note that you can modify your package.json and pass your custom parameters to the elm-boil utility.

Make sure you have Node >= 12.10.0 installed

npm install -g elm-boil

This command scaffolds a new Elm project with the support of scss compilation and Elm environment variable handling as it's described in this answer provided by the creator of elm-spa-example.

Usage:

elm-boil init <project_name>

Project structure:

my-elm-app
├── README.md
├── package.json
├── elm.json
├── .gitignore
├── assets
│   ├── favicon.ico
│   └── elm-logo.svg
├── env                 - Env variables (not versioned)
├── env-default         - Default Env (versioned)
├── public
|   └── index.html      - index.html template
└── src
    ├── Main.elm
    └── Main.scss

This command starts a local webserver helping development phase of the application using live elm and scss compilation plus a livereload functionality.

Usage (inside the project directory):

elm-boil serve [-p|--port=3000] [-h|--host="0.0.0.0"]

This command creates a minified and uglified build inside the project directory. A content hash is added to the file name allowing you to use aggressive caching techniques.

Usage (inside the project directory):

elm-boil build [-o|--output=dist]

A good idea to use the output parameter could be a parallel centered distribution of the same frontend for multiple environments.

• Single dependency
• Support of SCSS
• Lightweight
• Extremely fast
• Ease of use
