Support multiple main files

[dynajoe]

elm-make supports multiple main files by specifying each elm file to the make command.

Thanks for reporting! I want to implement things based on use cases that are blocking current development, so I'm gonna close this until someone encounters one.

@rtfeldman What do you mean by "blocking current development"?

My use case involves multiple Elm apps on a page, and I've been using @joeandaverde's elm-webpack-project-loader to get around the lack of this feature.

Except recent changes to elm-webpack-project-loader are leaving it in a broken state for me. Can we finally add support for this?

[rtfeldman]

@paulstatenzy what I mean by that is something exactly like your use case. I don't want to add features without clear motivation first. ☺️

Please open a new issue describing your use case and I'll revisit this.

Can we finally add support for this?

I get that you're frustrated, but I can't read your mind to know what you're building, and I'm not going to add features that don't have a motivating use case. There's no call for the attitude implicit in the "finally" here.

@rtfeldman That makes sense. I appreciate the thoughtful approach that you and Evan have, keeping things focused and protecting against feature creep.

I'd be glad to open up an issue describing my use case. I should probably first look more closely at the relationship between node-elm-compiler and elm-webpack-loader to ensure I'm making a request that makes sense.

There's no call for the attitude implicit in the "finally" here.

I admit there was some frustration there, and it was impolite to ask that way. I bet it came across rude or entitled. I'm sorry for the offense. I certainly appreciate your work on this tool and Elm as a whole, but my comment didn't reflect that.

❤️ Thank you for the awesome attitude @paulstatezny - I really appreciate it!
