elm-in-elm

Elm compiler written in Elm!

For more information on the elm-in-elm projet in general read the comprehensive documentation.

The entrypoint of this library is the Elm.Compiler module.

The typical flow of functions inside this library looks like this:

Example usage - Elm to Elixir

An example of how the core of Elm to Elixir compiler might look; pay attention to the pipeline inside elmToElixir:

module ElmToElixir exposing (elmToElixir)

import Elm.AST.Typed as Typed
import Elm.AST.Typed.Unwrapped as TypedU
import Elm.Compiler
import Elm.Compiler.Error exposing (Error)
import Elm.Data.FileContents exposing (FileContents)
import Elm.Data.Module as Module exposing (Module)


{-| Usage: 

    elmToElixir
      { filePath = "src/Foo.elm"
      , sourceCode = 
          """
          module Foo exposing (foo)

          foo : Int -> String
          foo x =
            String.repeat x "FOO! "
          """
      }
-}
elmToElixir : { filePath : FilePath, sourceCode : FileContents} -> Result Error String
elmToElixir file =
    file
        |> Elm.Compiler.parseModule
        |> Result.andThen Elm.Compiler.desugarOnlyModule
        |> Result.andThen Elm.Compiler.inferModule
        |> Result.map Elm.Compiler.optimizeModule
        |> Result.map (Module.map Typed.unwrap)
        |> Result.map emitElixirModule


{-| The important part: emit Elixir source code!  -}
emitElixirModule : Module TypedU.Expr -> FileContents
emitElixirModule m =
    [ emitHeader m.name m.exposing_
    , emitImports m.imports
    , emitDeclarations m.declarations
    ]
        |> String.join "\n\n\n"


emitHeader = Debug.todo "emitHeader"
emitImports = Debug.todo "emitImports"
emitDeclarations = Debug.todo "emitDeclarations"
