Is anyone interested in an Elm tutorial?

I'm interested in writing an Elm tutorial but I'm not sure what you all would want from such a tutorial.

My gut feeling is that there is a need for a tutorial that shows you how to build a SPA from start to finish.

There's,

rtfeldman / elm-spa-example

A Single Page Application written in Elm

👉 I gave a talk to explain the principles I used to build this. I highly recommend watching it!

Elm codebase containing real world examples (CRUD, auth, advanced patterns, etc) that adheres to the RealWorld spec and API.

Demo    RealWorld

This codebase was created to demonstrate a fully fledged fullstack application built with Elm including CRUD operations, authentication, routing, pagination, and more.

For more information on how this works with other frontends/backends, head over to the RealWorld repo.

How it works

Building

I decided not to include a build script, since all you need for a development build is the elm executable, and all you need on top of that for production is Uglify.

Development Build

Install Elm (e.g. with npm install --global elm), then from the root project directory, run this:

$ elm make src/Main.elm --output elm.js

If you want to include…

and he gave a talk,

and wrote a post,

Tour of an Open-Source Elm SPA

Richard Feldman ・ May 8 '17 ・ 6 min read

#elm #spa #webapp #scaling

about it.

Is that sufficient?

Do you need a more detailed breakdown of elm-spa-example?

Would you like a detailed breakdown of a different app entirely? Which one?

Your thoughts on these questions will help me decide on what to focus my attention.

Some topics that I don't think have been covered well in the official documentation:

• Web components...yay or nay?
• The SPA example would definitely be a very good way to thoroughly tie together all the parts of Elm
• Taking advantage of the parser library to do something cool...perhaps creating a DSL for building forms or something else that would simplify really tedious tasks?
• Elm and JS interopt, or strategies for gradually introducing your team to Elm.
• Some high-quality automated testing, possibly even from a TDD perspective.

Nice! Thanks for these suggestions.

Also, since you seem to be the biggest evangelist for Elm right now, could you recommend any specific Elm projects that need help?

I have an interest in Elm that I'm exploring deeply. I share what I learn but I'm no evangelist for Elm.

None that I'm aware of at the moment.

Since I have you here.

What tutorial would YOU be most interested in reading (from your list or otherwise)? Are you currently trying to build something and struggling?

[Scott Simontis]

Definitely parsing, I love learning about compilers!

[Jason]

Would love to read a tutorial about the parser too !

[Cyprian]

I love what you do with it, was telling my friend about you today and yes I'd love to learn it please..make a tutorial for it, text or video is fine..thanks

[Cam Stuart]

Anything real world, as in the kind of stuff we need to build day to day. and anything with elm-ui!
