NOT REMOTELY PRODUCTION READY experiment with Elm and `react-native`.

Elm Native

Experimental support for writing React Native powered mobile applications in the Elm language.

Is This Production Ready?

Just to make it totally clear: No.

How does this work?

• PoC.elm is the main "app" file -- where the actual application lives.
• The ReactNative directory contains the Elm module that provides the types and bindings for React Native in Elm
• index.ios.js makes the bridging between the compiled-to-JS Elm code and React Native

To Do

• Basic PoC
  • Show something from Elm
  • Make basic VTree work
  • Add some kind of event handlers
• Library
  • Make main support our VTree (see this suggestion)
• Styles
  • Basic types for styles
  • Support object type styles - transform styles and shadowOffset
  • Make enum type styles safer - currently all Strings
  • Allow the StyleSheet.create method for styles
• Props
  • Improve event handlers - currently uses event handler ids
  • Support props besides styles and event handlers
  • Unify syntax for styles, handlers and other props
