all the basic stuff is working - users can create polls, vote to them (only once per IP) and show the stats after they cast a vote
This was both a nice and a surprising hard thing to do - I learned a lot and think I'll actually use servant for my hobby projects in the future.
For production? Well nope - things like elm-export have issues that don't get updated/uploaded to hackage often,
servant itself has no great answer to restful redirects (it's not part of the type - you do it by throwing errors)
if you have a bash shell available you can just use the
./make.sh
script to get started - if not just follow these steps:
alternatively there is an Makefile included so
make server-start
should compile everything and then fire up the server
the first step is to get the Haskell appliction compiled:
stack build
of course you want to have stack installed for this.
Also this could take quite some time if you don't have the dependencies cached alread - so maybe get a coffee.
next we need have servant generate the api.elm for us:
stack exec YouVote-codeGen
this should give you src/client/api.elm
now we can let elm generate the static/js/client.js for us:
cd src/client
elm make Main.elm --output ../../static/js/client.js
cd ../..
all done
just do
stack exec YouVote
this should start a server at localhost:8080
