# parcel-plugin-elm-bundle

Parcel plugin for bundling multiple Elm applications.

## Use-case

Let's say you have two Elm application modules, `A` and `B`; and both will be imported and initialized in a parent application:

`./index.js`

```javascript

import { Elm as ElmA } from './elm/A.elm'

import { Elm as ElmB } from './elm/B.elm'

ElmA.A.init(...)

ElmB.B.init(...)

```

Using Parcel's native Elm bundler, results into `A` and `B` being compiled indepently, so all modules shared between them will get bundled twice, thus producing a much larger output in comparison to:

```

elm make ./elm/A.elm ./elm/B.elm --output=bundle.js

```

This plugin provides a way combine the outputs of `A` and `B` by defining a module bundle file (.elmb):

`./apps.elmb`

```json

{

  "modules": [

    "./elm/A.elm",

    "./elm/B.elm"

  ]

}

```

Now instead of importing the modules directly, the bundle definition file can be imported instead:

```javascript

import { A, B } from './apps.elmb'

A.init(...)

B.init(...)

```

## Future

The expectation is that Parcel will eventually provide a built-in way to achieve the same results as this plugin, thus making it obsolete. In the mean time, pull requests, bug reports and suggestions are very much welcomed.
