Introduction to Elm Workshop
|
||
============================
|
||
|
||
If you haven't already, follow the [Getting Started instructions](https://github.com/rtfeldman/elm-0.19-workshop#getting-started
|
||
) at the root of this repository, then continue here!
|
||
|
||
## Start the server
|
||
|
||
We'll be running a local server for our Elm UI to use. Let's get it set up.
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
cd intro/server
|
||
npm install
|
||
npm start
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If the server started up successfully, you should see
|
||
`> moleculer-runner services` at the end of your terminal.
|
||
|
||
We're going to leave this server running and not touch it again for the duration
|
||
of the workshop, so **don't close it** until the workshop is over!
|
||
|
||
## Build the Elm UI
|
||
|
||
Leave the existing terminal running, and open a **second** terminal.
|
||
|
||
In the new terminal, `cd` into the `elm-0.19-workshop/intro/server/` directory again.
|
||
|
||
Then run this to build the Elm code for the first time:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
elm make src/Main.elm --output=../server/public/elm.js
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Verify your setup
|
||
|
||
Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)
|
||
in your browser. You should see this in it:
|
||
|
||
<img width="375" alt="A screenshot showing “You’re all set!”" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1094080/39399636-63605a72-4aef-11e8-82bc-2b94e85369d1.png">
|
||
|
||
If things aren’t working, the instructor will be happy to help!
