Installation

npm i -g elm-coder-generator

CLI

Generate decoders for Example.elm (available in this repo):

It grabs and generates code only for type definitions inside these annotations.

elm-coder-generator Example.elm

Or pipe to elm-coder-generator:

echo '-- [generator-start]\n type X = Int\n-- [generator-end]' | elm-coder-generator 

output

-- [generator-start]
 type X = Int

-- [elm-generator-start] -- DO NOT MODIFY or remove this line
decodeX =
   Decode.int

encodeX a =
   Encode.int a 
-- [generator-end]

API

const generate = require('elm-coder-generator')

generate('-- [generator-start]\n type X = Int\n -- [generator-end]').then(x => console.log(x))

// -> decodeX =
// ->    Decode.int
// -> 
// -> encodeX a =
// ->    Encode.int a

Development

Clone the repo and build Cli.elm:

$ git clone https://github.com/franzskuffka/elm-coder-generator
$ cd elm-coder-generator
$ elm make src/Cli.elm --output elm-stuff/Cli.js --optimize
