Example terminal cli application in Elm 1.19.1

This tiny application demonstrates one way of creating a command line utility that reads parameters and parses them. The elm part is using the elm-cli-options-parser of dillonkearns, and the example code (licensed under the BSD 3-Clause "New" or "Revised" License) is pretty much yanked directly from his example app. What elm-terminal brings to the table is just showing how you would use dillonkearns example, or any other elm code, for driving your terminal applications.

Directory structure

src
Elm files are located in src/, as per Elm project best practices guidelines.

bin
Compiled Elm code is put in bin. The tiny amount of node code required to interface with the Terminal is in bin/index.js. You should not need to edit this file.

Setup / prerequisites

• Have node and yarn.
• Run yarn to install dependencies
• Run yarn build to compile Elm.

Developing

• Edit Elm code in src as if it was a regular elm web app.
• Optionally edit the wrapper written in nodejs, in bin/index.js.
• Run yarn build to compile elm.

Run

yarm telm will run the command.

Alternatively, use npm install -g . to install the commands listed under bin in package.json. You can then run the command as telm. (Someone please tell me how to do npm install -g . with yarn so I don't have to use two package managers).
