Elmish: Elm-like abstractions for F# applications targeting Fable.

Elmish implements core abstractions that can be used to build applications following “model view update” style of architecture, as made famous by Elm. The library however does not model any "view" and is intended for use in conjuction with a DOM/renderer, like React/ReactNative or VirtualDOM. For those familiar with Redux, the Fable applications targeting React or ReactNative may find Elmish a more natural fit than Redux allowing one to stay completely in idiomatic F#.

Elmish abstractions have been carefully designed to resemble Elm's "look and feel" and anyone familiar with post-Signal Elm terminology will find themselves at right home.

Installation

npm install --save fable-core fable-powerpack fable-elmish

Add a reference to the assemblies in the package folders (e.g. node_modules/fable-elmish/Fable.Elmish.dll).

Basic dispatch

Note that by itself the following program expects the view to carry out both DOM construction and DOM rendering.

Usage:

open Elmish

Program.mkProgram init update view
|> Program.run

Async: schedule a command transforming the results of an async<_> function

Usage:

open Elmish

Cmd.ofAsync asyncFunction arg ofSuccess ofError

Promise: schedule a command transforming the results of a promise<_> function

Usage:

open Elmish

Cmd.ofPromise promiseFunction arg ofSuccess ofError

Result: Ok/Error type and operators.

This type is standard in F# 4.1 and will be removed from this lib when MS releases it.

Usage:

open Elmish

UrlParser: Combinator for parsing browser's location url

Usage:

open Elmish.UrlParser

Navigation: Integrate with browser's location and history

Usage:

open Elmish.Browser.Navigation

Program.mkProgram init update view
|> Program.toNavigable parser urlUpdate 
|> Program.run
