On Friday, Noah and I worked on "updating elm-history" so that folks can do "routing" with Elm 0.17. The results are these libraries:
- elm-lang/navigation <http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm-lang/navigation/latest/> - evancz/url-parser <http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/evancz/url-parser/latest/> I think they will cover the core functionality in a way that also promotes healthy architecture. If you disagree, I ask that you *use* these libraries before you share your opinion (or ideally the particular scenario you are having trouble with). Details The elm-lang/navigation library is the core thing. It lets you get notified about changes to the address bar. This may be the user typing in there or pressing the forward and back buttons on the browser. It also lets you "navigate to new URLs" so you can go to new URLs without reloading any assets. The elm-lang/navigation library is designed such that you can parse URLs however you want. You can see a basic example of that here <https://github.com/elm-lang/navigation/tree/master/examples>. The evancz/url-parser library is meant to handle more complex cases. You can see a bit of that in this example <https://github.com/evancz/url-parser/tree/master/examples>. My URL parser is intended to be a baseline for exploration. There are probably cases it does not cover well. My goal right now is to point us towards good API design, not to be *the* URL parser. Thanks Big thanks to Noah for working through all this with me! And thank you to Aaron who helped review and talk through the API we ended up with. These were fun to work on :D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
