Question

How should I structure my Elm project?

Answer

Use the following file structure:

• Main.elm - Contains the main code

• Data.elm - Contains utility functions for types (like constants)

  • Data/.. - Contains types. Group them logically, for example User and UserForm into Data/User.elm.

• View.elm - Contains utility functions for views (like view specific constants and very general function.)

  • View/.. - Contains different Views. Sometimes a type has different views. A login page might have a special view for a wrong login.

• Page.elm - Contains utility functions for pages. For page-transitions its handy to store the different models in here.

  • Page/.. - Contains a Model/View/Update for every page.

• .. - in the same style you can add your project specific folders like a separate folder for validation.
