Example

Note: Currently, the Elm generator is not yet available via normal releases. You can download the latest snapshot release from this page.

This example uses the Star Wars API. See the example source code. The provided OpenAPI specification only covers part of the Star Wars API, namely getting a paginated list of planets or a specific one. As the model does not exactly match the data we want to have in Elm we use Api.map to map to a custom model instead.

You can either view the live example or run it locally:

cd example
java -jar openapi-generator-cli.jar generate -g elm -i swapi.yaml -o generated
elm reactor # visit http://localhost:8000/src/Main.elm

As an exercise try any of the following:

• Add the diameter and edited timestamp of each planet to the table;
• Make each table row navigate to a new page where you fetch the data for that planet only;
• Concatenate all data from all planets and show them in the table (without pagination);
• Update the specification and try fetching Star Wars people as well.
