single page apps made easy ## single page apps made easy
### try it out When you create an app with the [elm/browser](https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm/browser/latest) package, you can build anything from a static `Html msg` page to a fully-fledged web `Browser.application`.
``` __elm-spa__ uses that design at the page-level, so you can quickly add new pages to your Elm application!
npx elm-spa init new-project
Make your page as simple as you need:
```elm
module Pages.Home exposing (page)
-- can render a static page
page =
Spa.static
{ view = view
}
``` ```
### or just install the elm package ```elm
module Pages.About exposing (page)
-- can keep track of page state
page =
Spa.sandbox
{ init = init
, update = update
, view = view
}
```
```elm
module Pages.Posts exposing (page)
-- can perform side effects
page =
Spa.element
{ init = init
, update = update
, subscriptions = subscriptions
, view = view
}
```
```elm
module Pages.SignIn exposing (page)
-- can read and update global state
page =
Spa.component
{ init = init
, update = update
, subscriptions = subscriptions
, view = view
}
```
### putting your pages together is super easy!
```elm
init : Route -> Global.Model -> ( Model, Cmd Msg, Cmd Global.Msg )
init route =
case route of
Route.Home -> pages.home.init ()
Route.About -> pages.about.init ()
Route.Posts slug -> pages.posts.init slug
Route.SignIn -> pages.signIn.init ()
```
```elm
update : Msg -> Model -> Global.Model -> ( Model, Cmd Msg, Cmd Global.Msg )
update bigMsg bigModel =
case ( bigMsg, bigModel ) of
( Home_Msg msg, Home_Model model ) ->
pages.home.update msg model
( About_Msg msg, About_Model model ) ->
pages.about.update msg model
( Posts_Msg msg, Posts_Model model ) ->
pages.posts.update msg model
( SignIn_Msg msg, SignIn_Model model ) ->
pages.signIn.update msg model
_ ->
always ( bigModel, Cmd.none, Cmd.none )
```
```elm
-- handle view and subscriptions in one case expression!
bundle : Model -> Global.Model -> { view : Document Msg, subscriptions : Sub Msg }
bundle bigModel =
case route of
Home_Model model -> pages.home.bundle model
About_Model model -> pages.about.bundle model
Posts_Model model -> pages.posts.bundle model
SignIn_Model model -> pages.signIn.bundle model
```
### install the npm package
The [cli tool](https://www.npmjs.com/package/elm-spa) has commands like `elm-spa init`, `elm-spa add`, and `elm-spa build` for
generating your routes and pages for you!
```
npm install -g elm-spa
elm-spa init new-project
```
### install the elm package
If you'd rather define routes and pages by hand,
you can add [the elm package](https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/ryannhg/elm-spa/latest/Spa) to your project:
``` ```
elm install ryannhg/elm-spa elm install ryannhg/elm-spa
``` ```
### or run the example ### rather see an example?
This repo comes with an example project that you can
play around with. add in some pages and see how it works!
``` ```
cd example && npm start git clone https://github.com/ryannhg/elm-spa
cd example
npm start
``` ```
### overview
When you create an app with the [elm/browser](https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm/browser/latest) package, you can build anything from a static `Html msg` page to a fully-fledged web `Browser.application`.
`elm-spa` uses that design at the page-level, so you can quickly add new pages to your Elm application!
## the four kinds of pages:
1. __static__ a page that only renders HTML.
2. __sandbox__ a page with state.
3. __element__ a page with side-effects.
4. __component__ a page with global state.
