Introduction to Elm Workshop

If you haven't already, follow the Getting Started instructions at the root of this repository, then continue here!

Start the server

We'll be running a local server for our Elm UI to use. Let's get it set up.

cd intro/server
npm install
npm start

If the server started up successfully, you should see > moleculer-runner services at the end of your terminal.

We're going to leave this server running and not touch it again for the duration of the workshop, so don't close it until the workshop is over!

Leave the existing terminal running, and open a second terminal.

In the new termnal, cd into the elm-0.19-workshop/intro/server/ directory again.

Then run this to build the Elm code for the first time:

elm make src/Main.elm --output=../server/public/elm.js

Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser. You should see this in it:

If things aren’t working, the instructor will be happy to help!
