`elm-pages`

elm-pages is a framework for building an Elm single-page app that is able to seamlessly interface with data from an Elm Backend. elm-pages is a hybrid framework, allowing you to define Routes that are either server-rendered (for more dynamic content with user-specific or request-specific data) or pre-rendered at build-time (for generating static HTML files that are hosted through a CDN). You can mix and match server-rendered and pre-rendered routes in your app.

elm-pages also has a command for running pure Elm scripts with a single command. See the elm-pages Scripts docs page.

What's new in 12.2

Tui — build interactive terminal apps as elm-pages scripts. TEA-style init/update/view that renders styled text to the terminal and responds to keyboard, mouse, paste, resize, and time events. Tui.programOrScript lets the same script behave interactively in a TTY and as a plain BackendTask under CI or when its output is piped.
Test.PagesProgram — end-to-end tests for elm-pages routes. Drive the real framework runtime through form submissions, optimistic UI, concurrent fetchers, redirects, session cookies, and error pages with simulated HTTP and custom ports. Deterministic, in-process, no browser. Inspired by elm-program-test.
Test.Tui — pure Elm tests for TUI programs. Simulate keypresses and mouse events, resolve pending BackendTasks with the Test.BackendTask simulators, and assert on screen output.
Visual test runner — elm-pages dev serves page tests in the browser at /_tests, and elm-pages test --visual steps through TUI tests in the terminal. Run tests headlessly with elm-pages test.

See examples/smoothies/tests/ and examples/todos/tests/ for route tests, and examples/end-to-end/script/tests/TuiStarsTests.elm for a TUI test.

Compatibility Key

You will see an error if the NPM and Elm package do not have a matching Compatibility Key. Usually it's best to upgrade to the latest version of both the Elm and NPM packages when you upgrade. However, in case you want to install versions that are behind the latest, the Compatibility Key is included here for reference.

Current Compatibility Key: 29.
