Hello everyone. Totally new to Elm, this is my second day and I will be going through the docs again soon after posting this. I wanted to know what the most used libraries in elm for icons and components are? Also are there more guides on idiomatic approaches to writing elm code when it’s being used in tandem with all-in-one frameworks like django?

Kindly,

zustems

Hi Mambo, welcome to the Elm community!

In case of icon packages, there are 18 registered on the [Elm Catalog](https://korban.net/elm/catalog/packages/ui/icons) website. I’m not sure about the components, but you can have a look at **UI section** of the same site for available packages.

Thank you Novid. The elm catalog is such a wealth of knowledge! I’ll be sure to post any findings that I bump into.

Cheers

[Elm Land](https://elm.land/) is a good place to start.

I also use [elm-ui](https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/mdgriffith/elm-ui/latest/).
