I can think of two path to update the current time:
- through subscription to Time.every, set duration like 1 min
- through update command like:
update msg mode =
case msg of
OtherAction ->
...
{ model | ... } ! [ Task.perform (\_ -> NoOp) UpdateTime
Time.now ]
UpdateTime time ->
{ model | currentTime time } ! []
NoOp ->
model ! []
