# GUI for Mainflux in Elm
Dashboard made with [elm-bootstrap](http://elm-bootstrap.info/).
## Install
### Docker container GUI build
Install Docker (https://docs.docker.com/install/) and Docker compose
(https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/), `cd` to Mainflux root directory and
then
`docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up`
if you want to launch a whole Mainflux docker composition, or just
`docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up ui`
if you want to launch just GUI.
### Native GUI build
Install Elm (https://guide.elm-lang.org/install.html) and then run the following
commands:
```
git clone https://github.com/mainflux/mainflux
cd mainflux/ui
make
```
This will produce `index.html` in the _ui_ directory. Still in the _mainflux/ui_
folder, enter
`make run`
and follow the instructions on screen.
**NB:** `make` does `elm make src/Main.elm` and `make run` executes `elm
reactor`. Cf. _Makefile_ for more options.
## Configuration
Open the _src/Env.elm_ file and edit the values of the `env` record.
## Contribute to the GUI development
Follow the instructions above to install and run GUI as a native build. Instead
of `make run` you can install `elm-live` (https://github.com/wking-io/elm-live)
and execute `elm-live src/Main.elm` to get a live reload when your `.Elm` pages
change.
Launch Mainflux without ui service, either natively or as a Docker composition.
