Request - Setup with multiple elm.json files using glob patterns about gulp-elm HOT 7 CLOSED

Sorry, I am not going to implement this, started to use WebPack for different reasons.

from gulp-elm.

I'm not sure that I'd have the context to resolve that * in the cwd option based on the file. My initial thought was that we could allow cwd to take a function that dynamically resolved the directory, but then I realized that this ultimately resolves to a single call to the elm executable, so it really doesn't conceptually make sense to have multiple cwd values.

If you were going to compile these files manually with the elm make command, what might that look like?

from gulp-elm.

It would look like elm make src/Main.elm for each of the samples.

Perhaps some context helps: This is a widget gallery, foo and bar are independent widgets, each of them is a compact and complete Browser.element application. Only one of the widgets (the compiled main.js and style.css) is used on a PHP site.

This setup helps us to develop these widgets in parallel, we can reuse some shared packages among them, test and build them at once, etc.

Since you're going to need multiple calls to elm make, you'll want to avoid bundle. Once you have those output JS files, you'll need to combine them (probably using gulp-concat). In that scenario, it does sound like making the cwd option take a function would be helpful. Does that sound like the solution you're looking for?

You are right, I am sorry for the misleading bundle. Yes, if I could pass a function to cwd that would be great!

Great! Would you be interested in submitting a pull request to add that functionality? I'm happy to provide direction and review. If you're unable to submit a PR, I can tackle it, but it may be a couple of weeks before I can get to it.

I am going to try!
