Hackage: elm-bridge

Building the bridge from Haskell to Elm and back. Define types once, use on both sides and enjoy easy (de)serialisation. Cheers!

This version of the package only supports Elm 0.19. Version 0.5.2 supports Elm 0.18, and Version 0.3.0.2 supports Elm 0.16 and Elm 0.17.

Note that the bartavelle/json-helpers package, with version >= 1.2.0, is expected by the generated Elm modules.

{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
import Elm.Derive
import Elm.Module

import Data.Proxy

data Foo
   = Foo
   { f_name :: String
   , f_blablub :: Int
   } deriving (Show, Eq)

deriveBoth defaultOptions ''Foo

main :: IO ()
main =
    putStrLn $ makeElmModule "Foo"
    [ DefineElm (Proxy :: Proxy Foo)
    ]

Output will be:

module Foo where

import Json.Decode
import Json.Decode exposing ((:=))
import Json.Encode
import Json.Helpers exposing (..)


type alias Foo  =
   { f_name: String
   , f_blablub: Int
   }

jsonDecFoo : Json.Decode.Decoder ( Foo )
jsonDecFoo =
   ("f_name" := Json.Decode.string) `Json.Decode.andThen` \pf_name ->
   ("f_blablub" := Json.Decode.int) `Json.Decode.andThen` \pf_blablub ->
   Json.Decode.succeed {f_name = pf_name, f_blablub = pf_blablub}

jsonEncFoo : Foo -> Value
jsonEncFoo  val =
   Json.Encode.object
   [ ("f_name", Json.Encode.string val.f_name)
   , ("f_blablub", Json.Encode.int val.f_blablub)
   ]

Also, there are functions Elm.Json.stringSerForSimpleAdt and Elm.Json.stringParserForSimpleAdt to generate functions for your non-JSON ADT types.

For more usage examples check the tests or the examples dir.

• Using cabal: cabal install elm-bridge
• From Source: git clone https://github.com/agrafix/elm-bridge.git && cd elm-bridge && cabal install

• elm package install bartavelle/json-helpers

or, for Elm 0.19:

• elm install bartavelle/json-helpers
