Hello,
I try to initialize my elm application using programWithFlags.
My app makes use of elm-mdl, so my model looks something like this:
type alias AppState =
{ mdl : Material.Model
, viewSelected : Int
, ...
, titleEditable : Bool
, refreshEditorContent : Bool
}
In other words, it contains a Material.Model that I need to make proper use
of elm-mdl.
When I try to use App.programWithFlags, however, having Material.Model in
my AppState leads to the following error:
-- BAD FLAGS -------------------------------------------------------
src/App.elm
Your `main` is demanding an unsupported type as a flag.
68| main =
^^^^
The specific unsupported type is:
Dict.Dict
(List Int)
{ animation : Material.Ripple.Animation
, ignoringMouseDown : Bool
, metrics :
Maybe
{ rect :
{ height : Float
, left : Float
, top : Float
, width : Float
}
, x : Float
, y : Float
}
}
The types of values that can flow through in and out of Elm include:
Ints, Floats, Bools, Strings, Maybes, Lists, Arrays, Tuples,
Json.Values,
and concrete records.
Currently, I use localStorage to store my AppState partially (I do not
encode 'mdl'). I don't see how I can make this work, however, since I
assume that programWithFlags can only decode the types mentioned in the BAD
FLAGS message and it expects to receive a completely serialized AppState.
Any suggestions from the coomunity?
Thanks,
Robert
