hura / elm-lang.org

The full source for http://elm-lang.org/, the home-page of the Elm programming language. Open sourced as a way to teach people how to write and serve Elm code. Follow the instructions in README.md to get the site setup on your own machine.

Template for creating Elm websites

This project contains all of the source files used to create elm-lang.org. It provides a server and general structure for creating your own Elm website. The server lets you mix Elm, images, videos, HTML/CSS/JS, and whatever else you need.

You can also use this to run elm-lang.org/try locally.

Set up

First make sure that you have the Elm compiler installed (directions).

Then follow these steps to get the website running locally:

git clone https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-lang.org.git
cd elm-lang.org
git checkout stable
elm-get install
cabal configure
cabal build
./dist/build/run-elm-website/run-elm-website

Great! You should be set up with elm-lang.org running at localhost:8000/.

You can run cabal clean to clear out all cached build information and start fresh.

Project Structure

• public/ — all of the .elm files used for the site. This makes up the majority of client-side code. You can change/delete the existing files and add entirely new files. The changes, deletions, and additions will be served automatically.

• resources/ — the various resources needed for Elm. This is where you put all of your non-Elm content, like images, videos, JavaScript code, etc.

• server/ — the Haskell files responsible for serving everything from .elm files to images. Look here if you need to change how a particular resource is served or if you want to disable some of the sites features (such as the online editor).
