Elm code generator based on Scala [endpoints library](https://github.com/julienrf/endpoints).

#### New to endpoints?

Endpoints is great Scala library that allows you to define communication protocols over HTTP and keep
consistent server implementation, clients and documentation.
See also [official project documentation](http://julienrf.github.io/endpoints/)

#### Elm code generator

This project provides:

- interpreter for all basic endpoints algebras that targets [data structures](src/main/scala/io/scalaland/endpoints/elm/model) that resemble elm type system
- code emitter that takes these data structures and emits elm code containing:
- elm type definitions
- json encoders and decoders
- init value providers
- url construction methods targeting [elm-url](https://github.com/elm/url)
- api client methods targeting [elm-http-builder](https://github.com/lukewestby/elm-http-builder)

##### Output code structure

```
Data/Type1.elm
Data/Type2.elm
Data/Type3.elm
Request/Url/HttpModule1.elm
Request/Url/HttpModule2.elm
Request/Url/HttpModule3.elm
Request/HttpModule1.elm
Request/HttpModule2.elm
Request/HttpModule3.elm
```

## Getting started

To get started, first add project dependency to your `build.sbt`:

```scala
libraryDependencies += "io.scalaland" %% "endpoints-elm" % "0.10.0"
```

##### Endpoints definition

If you follow [endpoints quick start guide](http://julienrf.github.io/endpoints/quick-start.html),
you end up with something similar to:

```scala
import endpoints.{algebra, generic}

case class Counter(value: Int)
case class Increment(step: Int)

trait CounterEndpoints
extends algebra.Endpoints
with algebra.JsonSchemaEntities
with algebra.JsonSchemas
with generic.JsonSchemas {

implicit lazy val counterSchema: JsonSchema[Counter] = named(genericJsonSchema[Counter], "Counter")
implicit lazy val incrementSchema: JsonSchema[Increment] = named(genericJsonSchema[Increment], "Increment")

val currentValue: Endpoint[Unit, Counter] =
endpoint(
get(path / "current-value"),
jsonResponse[Counter](docs = Some("Coutner status")),
tags = List("Counter")
)

val increment: Endpoint[Increment, Unit] =
endpoint(
post(path / "increment", jsonRequest[Increment](docs = Some("Counter increment request"))),
emptyResponse(),
tags = List("Counter")
)
}
```

For code generation purposes it's required to:
- name your json schemas for types using `named(schema, "YourSchemaName")`
- tag your endpoints using `tags = List("YourEndpointTag")`

Type and file names in generated code is based on those names.

##### Mixing code generator interpreter

Then you need to mix in `io.scalaland.endpoints.elm.ElmCodeGenerator` with your endpoints trait.

```scala
import io.scalaland.endpoints.elm.ElmCodeGenerator

object ElmCounterGen extends CounterEndpoints with ElmCodeGenerator {

def generateCode(): Unit = {
writeElmCode("target/directory")(currentValue, increment)()
}
}
```

Invoking `ElmCounterGen.generateCode()` will clean target directory,
create `Data` and `Request` directories and write down elm modules for
data types and http api client.

## Codegen target

Generated code consists of bunch of modules of 2 kinds: data modules and http request modules.

##### Data modules

Example data module looks like follows:

```elm
{-
This file was generated by endpoints-elm interpreter.
Do not edit this file manually.

See https://github.com/scalalandio/endpoints-elm for more information.
-}

module Data.Counter exposing (..)

import Json.Decode as Decode exposing (Decoder)
import Json.Decode.Pipeline exposing (optional, required)
import Json.Encode as Encode

type alias Counter =
{ value : Int
}

init : Counter
init =
{ value = 0
}

decoder : Decoder Counter
decoder = Decode.succeed Counter
|> required "value" Decode.int

encoder : Counter -> Encode.Value
encoder model = Encode.object (fieldsEncoder model)

encoderTagged : (String, String) -> Counter -> Encode.Value
encoderTagged (discriminator, tag) model = Encode.object ((discriminator, Encode.string tag) :: fieldsEncoder model)

fieldsEncoder : Counter -> List (String, Encode.Value)
fieldsEncoder model =
[ ( "value", Encode.int model.value )
]

setValue : Int -> Counter -> Counter
setValue newValue counter =
{ counter | value = newValue }

updateValue : (Int -> Int) -> Counter -> Counter
updateValue f counter =
{ counter | value = f counter.value }

```

It contains:

- type definition (`type alias Counter`)
- initial/example value definition (`init`)
- Json codecs (`decoder` and `encoder`)
- utility functions for setting fields to a specific value (`setValue`)
- utility functions for updating fields using provided function (`updateValue`)

##### Url modules

Module with urls contains one function that constructs url string for each endpoint.

```elm
{-
This file was generated by endpoints-elm 0.10.0 interpreter.
Do not edit this file manually.

See https://github.com/scalalandio/endpoints-elm for more information.
-}

module Request.Url.Counter exposing (currentvalueGet, incrementPost)

import Bool.Extra
import Maybe.Extra
import Url.Builder

currentvalueGet : String
currentvalueGet =
Url.Builder.relative
[ "/", "current-value" ]
[]

incrementPost : String
incrementPost =
Url.Builder.relative
[ "/", "increment" ]
[]
```

##### Http modules

Http module utilizes generated url module and for each endpoint contains
a function that returns `HttpBuilder.Task.RequestBuilder`.

```elm
{-
This file was generated by endpoints-elm 0.10.0 interpreter.
Do not edit this file manually.

See https://github.com/scalalandio/endpoints-elm for more information.
-}

module Request.Counter exposing (currentvalueGet, incrementPost)

import Request.Url.Counter
import EndpointsElm
import Http
import HttpBuilder.Task exposing (RequestBuilder)
import Json.Decode as Decode
import Json.Encode as Encode
import Bool.Extra
import Maybe.Extra
import Bytes exposing (Bytes)
import Dict exposing (Dict)

import Data.Counter exposing (..)
import Data.Increment exposing (..)

currentvalueGet : RequestBuilder Http.Error Counter
currentvalueGet =
HttpBuilder.Task.get (Request.Url.Counter.currentvalueGet )
|> HttpBuilder.Task.withResolver (Http.stringResolver (EndpointsElm.httpResolveJson (Data.Counter.decoder)))
|> HttpBuilder.Task.withTimeout 30000

incrementPost : Increment -> RequestBuilder Http.Error ()
incrementPost increment =
HttpBuilder.Task.post (Request.Url.Counter.incrementPost )
|> HttpBuilder.Task.withBody (Http.jsonBody (Data.Increment.encoder increment))
|> HttpBuilder.Task.withResolver (Http.stringResolver (EndpointsElm.httpResolveUnit))
|> HttpBuilder.Task.withTimeout 30000
```

##### Dependencies

Code generation in endpoints-elm makes some assumptions about dependencies in elm project.

You need to have installed following packages:

```
"Chadtech/elm-bool-extra": "2.4.0"
"NoRedInk/elm-json-decode-pipeline": "1.0.0"
"elm/core": "1.0.2"
"elm/http": "2.0.0"
"elm/json": "1.1.3"
"elm-community/maybe-extra": "5.0.0",
"elm/url": "1.0.0",
"elm/bytes": "1.0.8",
"lukewestby/elm-http-builder": "7.0.0"
```

For `elm/http 1.0.0` and `lukewestby/elm-http-builder 6.0.0`, check out version `0.9.1` of this library.

See also example`out/elm.json`.

##### Customizing code generation
