So something that I just tripped over...
If you're bringing a JSON object in through a port, and the elm type def
has:
* type alias aFoo =*
* { someFoo : Maybe String }*
This JSON comes over properly:
* { someFoo: null }*
But this JSON throws an error:
* { } // field omitted*
If this data is from a JS library using an API, many default to omitting
null fields in their output. Reasoning being, why carry extra stuff extra
across the wire?
Most serializers that I have used default to omitting null values from the
serialized output.
Seems to me that both null and undefined should translate to Maybe.Nothing
when coming across a port.
Anybody else run into this?
