Elm Spa Starter

This is a little prototype of most any application you would want to make. Clone it and build your application off it. Using this repo eliminates the tedium of starting a new project.

It also might be useful to look at, if you are learning how to use Elm.

How to get going..

> git clone https://github.com/Chadtech/elm-spa-starter new-project
> cd new-project
> npm install
> elm package install --yes
> gulp

then open up http://localhost:2966

Distribution

To compile to distribution type into your terminal..

gulp distribution

It will run the js command without debug on. Its pretty sparse in what it does, but if you have your own dist operations, you can put them in that gulp task.

Elm Format

There is an Elm-Format task in this gulp file. Its not on by default, but you can switch to it by uncommenting a little code.
