Indentation
elm-mode indentation is based on cycling: every time you insert a new
line there will be one or more indentation levels available for you to
choose from. The exact number is printed in the minibuffer either as
Sole indentation or Indent cycle (n)... where n is the number of
available indentations to choose from. If the automatic indentation
level was not the one you expected simply hit TAB to cycle through the
list (note that hitting any other key will cancel the cycle).
Simpler indentation
There is also a simpler indentation mode, Elm Indent Simple which doesn't try
to be as smart as the default one. The benefit of this mode is that it works a
little more similarly to how more conventional editors handle indentation:
indent one step forward by pressing TAB, one step backward with S-TAB.
It tries to be a little smart, however, and guess the easiest to determine indentation levels.
You can enable it by setting a variable, elm-mode-indent-mode to
#'elm-indent-simple-mode, for example by doing this:
(setq elm-mode-hook '(elm-indent-simple-mode))
Installation
This package requires Emacs 25.1 or later.
MELPA
You can install elm-mode from the package in
MELPA. This is by far the most straightforward
and recommended installation method.
From source
Add this repo to your load-path and (require 'elm-mode). Ensure that
you have installed all the dependencies listed in the Package-Requires
header of elm-mode.el.

Completion for Elm >= 0.19
To obtain completion, code navigation and other niceties, use
elm-language-server
and an LSP package. eglot is a lightweight
LSP front-end package for Emacs, and has built-in support for elm-language-server.
Some users might prefer the rather larger and more opinionated lsp-mode.

The following functionality requires elm-format to be
installed. elm-format does not come with the Elm installer so you
will have to install it manually.
| Keybinding | Description |

elm-mode-hook:
(add-hook 'elm-mode-hook 'elm-format-on-save-mode)
Alternatively, you can enable it on a per-project basis by including an
entry like the following in your .dir-locals.el:
(elm-mode (mode . elm-format-on-save))
elm-test
The following functionality requires elm-test to be
installed. elm-test does not come with the Elm installer so you
will have to install it manually.
