elm-plaid-link

A sample integration of Plaid Link in Elm.

Installation

Make sure you have Elm 0.17 installed. Then install all dependencies and build the app:

make setup all

Development

Start the server:

PLAID_CLIENT_ID=test_id PLAID_SECRET=test_secret make start

Run a watcher that compiles Elm code when it changes:

make watch

Conventions

All Elm code is formatted with elm-format.

Plaid Link in your own app

The Elm package repository does not allow packages that call to native code through ports, hence this project cannot be published as an Elm library. However, it’s fairly straightforward to add Plaid Link into an Elm application:

• Copy the src/Plaid.elm file into your own project
• Initialize Plaid Link and wire the ports—see public/index.html for an example.
• Trigger Plaid.cmdToOpen command when you want to open Plaid Link
• Handle messages triggered when Plaid Link is loaded, successfully completed or cancelled by the user. See the update function in src/Main.elm.
