morphir-elm

library2.100.0jsnpmunverified

morphir-elm is an NPM package providing a CLI and Elm integration for the Morphir ecosystem (v2.100.0, active development, releases every few weeks). It parses Elm source code into Morphir IR (intermediate representation), enabling transpilation to Scala, TypeScript, and other languages, as well as visualization. Key differentiators: it bridges Elm's type system with FINOS's technology-agnostic Morphir format, supports both NPM and Elm package distribution, and includes a TypeScript SDK for structural equality and Maybe types. Alternatives include custom transpilers, but morphir-elm provides a standardised, multi-language pipeline.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

morphir-elm CLI

✓ npx morphir-elm make -f

✗ npm install -g morphir-elm && morphir-elm make (without -f flag)

The -f flag is recommended as of v2.100.0 to use the old CLI; new CLI may be unstable.

Morphir.IR from Elm package

✓ import Morphir.IR exposing (IR)

✗ import Morphir.IR (IR)

In Elm, use the `exposing` keyword; importing as a named tuple is not valid Elm syntax.

TypeScript SDK

✓ import { equal } from 'morphir-elm/ts-sdk/Basics'

✗ import { equal } from 'morphir-elm'

The TypeScript SDK is provided as a sub-path export under 'morphir-elm/ts-sdk'; top-level import may not exist.

Creates a minimal Elm project, generates Morphir IR JSON via the CLI.

// Create morphir.json { "name": "My.Package", "sourceDirectory": "src", "exposedModules": ["Foo"] } // In terminal: mkdir -p src/My/Package echo "module My.Package.Foo exposing (..)" > src/My/Package/Foo.elm echo "foo = 42" >> src/My/Package/Foo.elm npx morphir-elm make -f -p . -o morphir-ir.json // morphir-ir.json now contains the IR

Debug

Known issues

breakingAs of v2.96.0, CLI subcommand 'make' requires -f flag for old CLI; new CLI may break without it

fix

Use -f flag: morphir-elm make -f

affects: >=2.96.0

deprecatedGulp build system removed in v2.100.0

fix

Use Mise and Bun for building; Gulp scripts no longer available.

affects: >=2.100.0

gotchaThe -f flag is recommended only; new CLI may become default in future breaking change

fix

Monitor releases; update scripts to handle both old and new CLI.

affects: >=2.96.0

gotchaTypeScript SDK exports are under sub-path 'morphir-elm/ts-sdk'; not at top-level

fix

Import from 'morphir-elm/ts-sdk/Basics' etc.

affects: >=2.95.0

deprecatedJest testing removed, replaced with Bun test runner in v2.100.0

fix

Use bun test instead of jest.

affects: >=2.100.0

breakingElm source parsing may fail without morphir.json file; missing config

fix

Ensure morphir.json exists in project directory with required fields.

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'morphir-elm'

Using top-level import instead of sub-path

fix

Use import from 'morphir-elm/ts-sdk/...' or install the Elm package.

morphir-elm: command not found

Package not installed globally or not using npx

fix

Use npx morphir-elm or install globally: npm install -g morphir-elm

Error: Unrecognized command: make (use -f flag)

New CLI requires -f flag for old behavior since v2.96.0

fix

Add -f flag: morphir-elm make -f

Error: Module 'My.Package.Foo' not found in sourceDirectory

Missing or mismatched sourceDirectory in morphir.json

fix

Check morphir.json sourceDirectory and ensure Elm files are placed correctly.
