Question 1

How to remove Bootstrap from elm-webpack-starter?

Accepted Answer

You need to edit the Webpack configuration files to exclude Bootstrap dependencies and styles. Remove references to bootstrap-sass in package.json and adjust SCSS imports in the source files, which might require basic Webpack knowledge.

Question 2

elm-webpack-starter vs create-elm-app: which is better?

Accepted Answer

elm-webpack-starter offers more customization with Webpack and includes Bootstrap, ideal for teams familiar with Webpack. create-elm-app is more opinionated and zero-config, better for beginners or projects needing a simpler setup without asset management headaches.

Question 3

How to upgrade Elm to version 0.19 in elm-webpack-starter?

Accepted Answer

It requires manual updates: change the Elm version in package.json, update the elm-webpack-loader configuration, and migrate code for breaking changes from Elm 0.18 to 0.19, as this starter doesn't support it out of the box.

Question 4

Does elm-webpack-starter include testing setup?

Accepted Answer

No, it lacks built-in testing tools like elm-test or CI configurations. You'll need to manually add and configure testing frameworks, which can be time-consuming compared to more comprehensive starters.

Question 5

How to deploy an elm-webpack-starter app to Netlify?

Accepted Answer

Build the project using 'npm run build' to generate the dist folder, then configure Netlify to deploy from that directory. You might need to adjust paths in the Webpack config if issues arise with static asset serving.
