Key features
SEO made easy
With elm-pages
, SEO is as easy
as calling a type-safe, high-level Elm API
and passing in data from your content's metadata.
The metadata is just Elm data that you define however you want, using a Json Decoder to grab data out of your markdown frontmatter.
import MyMetadata exposing (MyMetadata)
head : BlogMetadata -> List (Head.Tag Pages.PathKey)
head meta =
Seo.summaryLarge
{ canonicalUrlOverride = Nothing
, siteName = "elm-pages"
, image =
{ url = PagesNew.images.icon
, alt = meta.description
, dimensions = Nothing
, mimeType = Nothing
}
, description = meta.description
, locale = Nothing
, title = meta.title
}
|> Seo.article
{ tags = []
, section = Nothing
, publishedTime = Just (Date.toIsoString meta.published)
, modifiedTime = Nothing
, expirationTime = Nothing
}
Optimized for performance
elm-pages
has a set of features built-in to make
sure your page is blazing fast on any device.
- Automatic page pre-rendering
- Page content is split up per-page so page content downloads and parses just-in-time
- Page pre-fetching on link hover
Try out elm-pages
, open up Lighthouse, and
see for yourself! Or check out https://elm-pages.com
(find the source code in the examples/docs/
folder).
Built-in type-safety
elm-pages
generates static Elm data for you
to make sure you don't have any broken links or images.
The SEO API even uses it to make sure you are only pointing to
valid images and pages so you have valid metadata!
For example, if you have a content folder like this:
- content
- blog
- index.md
- hello-world.md
- second-post.md
Then you will be able to access those pages in a type-safe way like this from Elm:
-- this is a generated module
-- it is re-run whenever your `content` folder changes
-- just run `elm-pages develop` to start the watcher
import Pages exposing (pages)
import Pages.PagePath as PagePath exposing (PagePath)
indexPage : PagePath Pages.PathKey
indexPage =
pages.blog.index
helloPostPage : PagePath Pages.PathKey
helloPostPage =
pages.blog.helloWorld
secondPost : PagePath Pages.PathKey
secondPost =
pages.blog.secondPost
Offline Support
elm-pages
uses pure elm configuration to setup
your progressive web app settings. This includes
a "source icon" which is used to generate your favicons
and icons for the images following best practices for
a progressive web app. The image is even a type-safe
ImagePath
that guarantees you are using an available
image!
manifest : Manifest.Config Pages.PathKey
manifest =
{ backgroundColor = Just Color.white
, categories = [ Pages.Manifest.Category.education ]
, displayMode = Manifest.Standalone
, orientation = Manifest.Portrait
, description = "elm-pages - A statically typed site generator."
, iarcRatingId = Nothing
, name = "elm-pages docs"
, themeColor = Just Color.white
, startUrl = pages.index
, shortName = Just "elm-pages"
, sourceIcon = images.icon
}
It will also take care of setting up a service worker which will automatically cache the basic shell for your application's compiled Elm code and HTML container. The page content is currently cached as it is loaded, but in the future there will be an API to choose some pages to "warm up" in the cache.
