This is the Elm frontend for herc, hosted here. It is a real-time chat app, powered by GraphQL.
The client is an Elm single page app. Much of the functionality is simply provided by Elm's core libraries. In addition, I'm using krisajenkins/remotedata and dillonkearns/elm-graphql to interact with my GraphQL backend.
The client uses ports to subscribe to a WebSocket via Javascript. For this, I'm using Apollo Client.
Lastly, I'm using Webpack to build it and to serve up a hot-reloading dev mode, and TailwindCSS with PostCSS for the styles.
- Install Elm
npm install
The frontend can be run in a hot-reloading dev mode with npm run dev. The app will be located at http://localhost:3001 This also displays the Elm Debugger.
elm-analyse is available as well, with npm run analyse. It will be hosted at http://localhost:3002.
npm run test
npm run build
The client is deployed to Netlify via a CI/CD pipeline. Currently, this is done directly with Netlify, and not via the CircleCI instance.
- Consider moving deployment inside CircleCI
- Revise styling
