Question: elm-app for multiple targets

[geekyme]

Use case: building a browser extension with Elm.

A browser extension typically contains a popup, a background script, and a content script, which are all sandboxed and require separate scripts.

How do i use elm-app to emit the 3 different scripts?

Hi @geekyme, thanks for the question!

I'm suspecting that the only way to have separate scripts is to eject and fiddle with the Webpack configuration.

Please let me know if you need any help with that! 👍

Yup @halfzebra I ejected the configuration and modified for 3 targets. So far running "npm run build" helps me to output the 3 scripts correctly.

But I would love to have the hot reloads a short I write the 3 parts of the application. Would you happen to know how to do that?

[geekyme]

ie. Making type errors on popup.elm, content.elm, background.elm will show me errors immediately vs running the full build to see it.

I'm not sure if #311 covers this entirely, but it sure helps to avoid ejection.

Please feel free to reopen this if necessary! 🙂
