Thanks Matthew for info and good starting points.
Here are results of my research, maybe someone will be looking for it as me :) https://github.com/eeue56/elm-static-site - this repo currently uses elm 0.16. There is a call with 'renderer' which can't be provided in 0.17. I've managed to render elm files with node/express thanks to https://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom app.get('/index', function(req, res) { var Elm = require(path.join(rootPath, 'dist/compiled_elm.js')); jsdom.env( path.join(rootPath, 'dist/index.html'), //with included script src to compiled_elm.js function (err,window) { if (err != null) { return console.error("error", err); } document = window.document; Elm.Main.embed(document.getElementById('main')); window.setTimeout(function() { res.render('ssr', { head: document.head.innerHTML, body: document.body.innerHTML }) }, 100) } ); }); And here is rendered ssr.pug view html head!= head body!= body Other approach may be with https://github.com/eeue56/elm-server-side-renderer My first impression was that it can compile only single divs, but eeue56 said that it can compile whole view and is used in testing for last 6 months, so... my impression was wrong. This compiler is written in ELM so it is great if you want to produce HTML from ELM, or... you can spawn elm worker to compile it under any server or... you can write tiny elm server for handling elm files with server side rendering, caching etc... Anyway as Matthew posted Server Side Rendering will be in 0.18. 0.18 is planned for October - it isn't official claim, but only loose information.
