Create helloworld combining HTML generation and Yampa

[ivanperez-keera]

Idea: create a Yampa program that generates an HTML file that changes (for instance, a text box that always shows the current mouse coordinate).

Prior knowledge of blaze-html or some other library to generate HTML would be useful.

This isn't strictly what you're looking for, but there is a project to combine Yampa and HTML canvas elements, yampa-canvas

[ivanperez-keera]

This is actually great, @jhmcstanton . Thanks!!! I'll add it to Yampa's front page :)

[mgajda]

Is it GHCjs project?

[ivanperez-keera]

Yeap, that'd be nice. Something that allows people to compile with GHCjs and get a running page.

[jhmcstanton]

@mgajda if you're refering to yampa-canvas, its not a ghcjs project. It uses a small js runtime and COMET to interact with the browser from a haskell server.

[ivanperez-keera]

Yeap, that'd be nice. Something that allows people to compile with GHCjs and get a running page.

My bad. I read this without the context and thought @mgajda was asking if this issue was meant to be GHCjs based.

[ivanperez-keera]

Also relevant to this ticket is this branch of haskanoid: https://github.com/ivanperez-keera/haskanoid/blob/ghcjs/

[ivanperez-keera]

Would anyone be able to help this effort by pointing to a current guide to get started with GHC and web, or preparing a minimal example (doesn't even have to use Yampa).

[ivanperez-keera]

I'm happy to say that @AntanasKal has provided a suitable hello world. See #268 for details.

We need to modify the README to point to that repo.

[ivanperez-keera]

Yay!!! We've finally closed this and now have a hello world with docker to use webassembly. This also means we've just closed an issue that's been unsolved for 6 years!

Massive thanks to @AntanasKal for the push to get that done. And just in time for the next release!

This will open many possibilities for the Yampa project.

@ivanperez-keera Would love to write next app with WebAssembly hosting of Yampa.

Can you please release recipe of Docker image for building for Web?

[ivanperez-keera]

See https://github.com/AntanasKal/yampa-wasm-example#using-docker-to-build-and-deploy. That little example is deployed with Github Pages.
