Notice: You probably want Matt Bray's servant-elm instead of this one
If you've described a REST API with servant, this package can generate an Elm module for communicating with that API.
This is currently a scrappy work in progress created in the course
of our monthly Hack Days at work. We're using the not-yet-released
servant-foreign library, so we can't ship servant-elm yet. Check
out the
milestones for
more info about what works and what doesn't.
Once published, you'll be able to install this from Hackage with cabal or stack.
To work on it locally, check out this repo, then stack build should
build the example app.
There's an example API and server defined in example/Main.hs, which
dumps an Elm module to a named file before starting to serve the API:
stack exec servant-elm-example example-elm/API.elm
Run elm-reactor and open example-elm/Example.elm to connect to the
API server from Elm using the generated bindings.
