Elm client for feature-creature cucumber visualization tool

Setup

1. Clone this repository.
2. Download and install Elm: http://elm-lang.org/install
3. To install all dependencies, run elm-package install. (on linux? see below)
4. Install the feature-creature project and follow the instructions to build it and run the web server: https://github.com/gust/feature-creature
5. Install Ruby dependencies with bundle install
6. Compile the main Elm file into Javascript, use the command: elm make src/Main.elm --warn --output public/js/elm.js.
7. Run the feature creature API, see https://github.com/gust/feature-creature
8. Set the environment variable FC_API_PATH to the URL of the API
9. Run the application locally with bundle exec rackup

Note: The elm-reactor debugger is currently not compatible with ports, which are used in the application. Nothing we can do about that, unfortunately. We'll look into alternatives.
