flask-elm-starter-kit

A simple Flask application with Elm for the frontend.

This starter kit shows how to use Elm with a Flask application.

All pages are rendered on the server. Elm provides parts of the frontend instead of using plain Javascript. This example shows how to use Elm in none single page applications and how to integrate it with existing Javascript code.

Brunch is used as the build tool.
