Trying to help build a design system at work in my spare time; no clue if it will go anywhere but it’s fun regardless. I asked the Elm Slack group what the equivalent of React Storybook. Specifically, I wanted a way to build a documentation website like Vuepress with the ability to host native Elm code to showcase components. They pointed me to Elm Book. While Elm Book has built-in theming capabilities, I needed CSS control over my components. While they support elm-css, I wanted the ability to use TailwindCSS. The Elm libraries haven’t kept up with Tailwind’s changes, which is fine; writing raw Tailwind CSS on Elm HTML functions is easy and co-located with the component you’re styling.

However, getting it to work in elm-live, which elm-book wraps, was a bit challenging. I wanted to layout how to get this to work in case you’d like to use Tailwind or your own CSS framework.

webpack
A bundler for javascript and friends. Packs many modules into a few bundled assets. Code Splitting allows for loading parts of the application on demand. Through "loaders", modules can be CommonJs, AMD, ES6 modules, CSS, Images, JSON, Coffeescript, LESS, ... and your custom stuff.
Most front-end frameworks nowadays include these features as part of their CLI’s such as Create React App, Angular’s ng-cli, etc. For those that don’t, many will use a combination of some type of bundler like Parcel, Rollup, or Webpack and a browser refresher like livereload. This enables you to write code, save it, and immediately see the results. This in turn leads to fast feedback as you iterate all day in this build loop. The native Elm Reactor doesn’t offer this ability and elm-live fits the bill as a small Node.js library to enable this.
