Hello community, I thought that using elm on the backend would be hard but it turns out that it is easy.
I took the websockets example and turned it into a stand alone webapp. https://github.com/pdamoc/elm-sapling The approach that I used is to describe an API between the client and the server. This API uses types for Requests that the client sends to the server and for Responses that the server replies with. The types are imported in both the server and the client. The API file also takes care of serialization of the communication. The server code is then compiled to a js file that is launched with the help of a small express+ws wrapper. The client code is compiled into an index file that will be served by express. What do you think? I'm wondering if there is any interesest in creating a full-stack solution for Elm. I'm not able to do this alone but maybe a small SIG could create such a thing. -- There is NO FATE, we are the creators. blog: http://damoc.ro/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
