Create Elm App is a CLI scaffolding tool that bootstraps Elm web applications with zero build configuration, bundling Webpack, dev server with hot module replacement, and production build commands. It is the Elm equivalent of Create React App.

Use cases

• scaffold a new elm app with no build config
• set up webpack and dev server for elm
• get hot module reloading in an elm project
• create a production-optimized elm build
• start an elm single-page app quickly
• avoid configuring elm-make with js and css

When to choose

• starting a new elm project without manual webpack setup
• you want a batteries-included elm dev server with HMR
• you prefer create-react-app-style conventions in elm

When to avoid

• you already have a custom webpack or vite setup
• you need server-side rendering or a non-spa architecture
• your project requires heavy custom build tooling
