I have only recently begun immersing myself in Elm and have run into this
quite early.
Here's what I want to do and it seems very reasonable:
type alias Model =
{ signup : Signup
}
type alias Signup =
{ email : { text : String, errors : String }
, password : { text : String, errors : String }
}
Update
…
ValidateSignup ->
let
( emailErrors, passwordErrors ) = getSignupErrors model
in
( { model | signup.email.errors = emailErrors,
signup.password.errors = passwordErrors }, Cmd.none)
Here's the best I've been able to come up with
type alias Model =
{ signup : Signup
}
type alias Signup =
{ email : ValidatableString
, password : ValidatableString
}
type alias ValidatableString =
{ text : String,
errors : String
}
Update
...
ValidateSignup ->
let
( emailErrors, passwordErrors ) = getSignupErrors model
emailUpdate = ValidatableString model.signup.email.text
emailErrors
passwordUpdate = ValidatableString
model.signup.password.text passwordErrors
signupUpdate = Signup emailUpdate passwordUpdate
in
( { model | signup = signupUpdate } , Cmd.none)
Please tell me I'm just missing something at this point, or advice for best
practice would be very welcome.
