What build system do you prefer for Elm?

[Rupert Smith]

I've been using grunt up until now. Looking into webpack at the moment as a few github projects I've been looking at use it.

Anyone got any thoughts on the advantages/disadvantages of the various possibility wrt Elm?

[Peter Damoc]

Consider using npm as a build system
https://css-tricks.com/why-npm-scripts/

The main advantage is that you can control everything easier. 
The main disadvantage I guess is that it might get complicated for complex scenarios.

I’ve been using broccoli for 8 months now and very happy.

Here’s a plugin I made for elm: https://github.com/dustinfarris/broccoli-elm-make

If you end up trying it I’d love your feedback!

I generally just use GNU Make, I also use it to kick off other builds in the project so that works well.

I use webpack to build my app:

https://github.com/Southern-Exposure-Seed-Exchange/southernexposure.com/blob/master/client/webpack.config.js


NPM to run webpack:

https://github.com/Southern-Exposure-Seed-Exchange/southernexposure.com/blob/master/client/package.json#L8-L9


And a haskell script to build my client & server, or start the webpack-dev-server & watch/build/run the server:

https://github.com/Southern-Exposure-Seed-Exchange/southernexposure.com/blob/master/manage.hs#L218-L245
https://github.com/Southern-Exposure-Seed-Exchange/southernexposure.com/blob/master/manage.hs#L184-L215

I was using Make for that last step, but find the haskell script much more maintainable.

I use my own starter, which includes hot reloading: https://github.com/simonh1000/elm-webpack-starter

I'm intrigued to try hot reloading. Does it only work if you don't change the type of the Model? 

[Simon]

no you can change anything - it also does some reloading of ports as well I think

it is the O N L Y way to code :-)

[Costantino Giuliodori]

I start simple by using entr (http://entrproject.org), than npm scripts

[Tommy Messbauer]

I use webpack 3. I made a component starter for webpack and then included it in an app starter. App starter included below and it uses elm-github-install b/c I need to include shared code from private repos. You might just want the webpack config.

Advantages: webpack can be a nightmare, but this is a pretty simple setup. hot reloading for development.
Disadvantages: webpack can be a pain to config.

We have multiple Elm apps in production. I've been really happy with this setup.
