elm: Start local web server that compiles Elm files on page load.

$ elm reactor

try on your machine

The elm reactor command is used to start the development server for an Elm project.

When you run elm reactor in the terminal at the root directory of an Elm project, it starts a local server that hosts your Elm application. This allows you to view and interact with your Elm code in a web browser.

Once the server is running, you can access the application by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000. By default, elm reactor will search for an index.html file in the current directory and serve it as the entry point for your Elm application.

Additionally, elm reactor provides a convenient way to navigate through your Elm project. It creates a directory listing of your project's contents on the http://localhost:8000 page, allowing you to easily access different files and directories within your project.

Overall, elm reactor simplifies the development process by providing a local server to view and navigate Elm projects in a web browser.
