`Uncaught ReferenceError: Elm is not defined` in Electron app

[A. Hernandez]

Hi all, 

I am attempting to use Elm 0.17 for an Electron app (using `electron-prebuilt` 1.3.5). However, I've run into a snag where an `Elm is not defined` error raises on launch. For some reason, `Elm` isn't a global variable in Electron. It is global when run in the browser though.

Does this have to do with the Chromium version? More importantly: is there a way to fix this issue?

You can require the script (as a CommonJS module).

Worked like a charm. Thanks!

You can atach Elm to the window object like this:

<script>window.Elm = require('./main.js');</script>

then you do:

var node = document.getElementById('main');
var yourApp = Elm.Todo.fullscreen(node);

You can see this here: https://github.com/nirgn975/Elmctron/blob/master/src/index.html#L11

Good to hear. My next project will be an Elm + Electron one, I was until now wondering how well that might work out.

Any thoughts on why that has happened?
