Elm Server

This is a simple server to make it easier to develop Elm projects. It lets you view Elm files in your browser and recompile them by refreshing the page.

Install

It comes bundled with the Elm Platform or you can install it individually with cabal install elm-server.

Use

Navigate to the Elm project you want to work on. In that directory run:

elm-server

This will start the server at http://localhost:8000. If you want to use a different port, use the --port flag (e.g. elm-server --port 8080). In your browser you can navigate through your project and see how each Elm page looks.

elm-server will serve any kind of static content, so you can also look at HTML, images, JSON, or whatever else you may need to serve.
