I'm trying to use ports with elm-app. Previously I used elm-live
and a vanilla setup, and was able to insert ports like this:
<body>
<noscript>
You need to enable JavaScript to run this app.
</noscript>
<div id="root"></div>
<script>
window.addEventListener("load", function(event) {
var app = Elm.Main.fullscreen(localStorage.session || null);
app.ports.storeSession.subscribe(function(session) {
localStorage.session = session;
});
...
This worked, and elm-live seemed to embed elm.js
in the <head>
of index.html.
When I try to use this setup for ports with create-elm-app
, however, the compiled javascript is embedded at the bottom of the <body>
, so adding the <script>
as I did results in this:
(index):68 Uncaught ReferenceError: Elm is not defined
at (index):68
What is the best way to embed the JS ports?
The halfzebra/create-elm-app
project sets things up a little differently. You'll have to modify the src/index.js
file like the example shows in the documentation on Javascript Interop
import './main.css';
import { Main } from './Main.elm';
import registerServiceWorker from './registerServiceWorker';
var app = Main.embed(document.getElementById('root'));
registerServiceWorker();
// ports related code
app.ports.windowTitle.subscribe(function(newTitle){
window.document.title = newTitle;
});
