I'm a fan of the changes to Task.perform in Elm 0.18. However, I'm still finding that I'm writing a lot of boilerplate in some situations. For example, there are several instances when I want to send a msg which has no payload.
Task.perform (\_ -> GoToLoginPage) (Task.succeed Nothing) I do this any time I am navigating to a different page, submitting a form, cancelling a form, kicking off any asynchronous request (logging in, CRUDing any data), and maybe one or two other special cases. I don't see any reason why not have a function in Task that takes a msg and returns a Cmd msg. sendMsg : msg -> Cmd msg Which could be used like this Task.sendMsg GoToLoginPage Task.sendMsg GoToOneOfTenOtherPages Task.sendMsg IsFetchingData Task.sendMsg IsUpdatingData Task.sendMsg IsCreatingData Task.sendMsg IsDeletingData Task.sendMsg CancelCreate Task.sendMsg CancelDelete Task.sendMsg LogoutSucceed ... Any thoughts on this proposed addition? Does anyone else find themselves writing a lot of boilerplate with Task.perform? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
