Elmish-fss-stack

A simple F# elmish fullstack template.

Frontend:

• F# 5
• Fable 3
• Paket
• Fss
• Elmish

Backend:

• Suave
• Fable remoting

This template implements the basic todo sample from https://reactjs.org/ and has a route to add and complete todos.

Inspired by the SAFE-stack

If all you need is a frontend app check out this template

Why another stack though?

While the SAFE-STACK is awesome I got tired of dealing with webpack and fake. I find those things really annoying and I prefer simpler more lightweight alternatives.

How to run:

Before running:

dotnet tool restore
dotnet paket install

Open two terminals: In one:

cd server
dotnet run

In the other:

cd client
npm install
npm start

Go to localhost:1234.

Building

I have included a super simple Dockerfile you can use to build the backend and have it serve the frontend as static files. Deploy this file wherever.
