elm-jsonapi-http

HTTP negotiation with JSON API-compliant servers. Intended for use with elm-jsonapi.

See the documentation at: http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/noahzgordon/elm-jsonapi-http/latest

Usage

For a live usage example, see the /example directory in the project repo.

Note: The example app requires you to run a Sinatra server, meaning you will need Ruby and Rack installed.

1. Compile the elm file: cd example && elm make Main.elm
2. Open the resulting html file [open|tee|firefox] index.html
3. Run the sinatra server (and make sure it runs on port 9292 if that's not your default): rackup -p 9292
