Re: [elm-discuss] Re: Design of Large Elm apps

That gist is old. For current Elm Architecture, please refer to the guide. http://guide.elm-lang.org/ I don't know about "the best way" but I can share how my App is structured. I have two types of pages in my app: Interactive and Informational. The informational pages are typically generated

[elm-discuss] Sharing test code

I've been working on a bunch of related geometric packages and one thing I haven't quite figured out is the best way to structure test code. So far I've been using the fairly common pattern of having a 'test' subdirectory with its own elm-package.json that has "../src" in its source-directories

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: Elm Records as a platform-agnostic data type?

Why not just keep using JSON? I don't see what advantage Elm records offer, as a data format. Robin's encoder/decoder argument is a separate (but interesting!) topic. Elm ports could be altered to translate between JSON and a structurally-equivalent Elm record. I mean, you'd have to make a

Someone actually did implement Hoogle-like search for Elm, and it works pretty well, although using it is probably not kind to the package.elm-lang.org server: http://klaftertief.github.io/package.elm-lang.org/ I'm all for replacing special syntax with List.range or something similar. I'd

I actually use ranges a whole lot, but it doesn't really matter much if I have special syntax or if I perform a function call. If there are advantages to removing the special syntax for ranges, then by all means do it :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: Should [ 1..5 ] exist?

As for getting rid of ranges, I'd be fine with this: 1. Python just uses a function for ranges, so it's not entirely unheard of in the imperative world 2. Ranges seem to fall in the same category as list comprehensions, a nice shorthand from Haskell that can end up leading to more cryptic code in

To be completely honest, I would much prefer to keep the notation, but suggest a different possible solution. I would not complain if the notation goes away, but I would also like to hear how you feel about the following possible alternative: Maybe we need a formal way to associate keywords

[elm-discuss] Re: Should [ 1..5 ] exist?

I can attest to this being difficult to search for. I ended up having to ask on the slack channel how to do ranges. Personally, I like the syntax, but making it easier to find would be my suggestion (e.g. referring to it as more things, spelled out, such as "range", "ellipsis", etc. in the

[elm-discuss] Should [ 1..5 ] exist?

Currently the way you do ranges (like, say, to create the list [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]) is this: [ 1..5 ] This comes up super infrequently, and whenever it does, it's hard to Google for - when you want to know things like "can I use variables in there?" "is [1..5] going to give me 1,2,3,4,5 or

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: Unit Types : A Radical Proposal

I just realized that Elm already uses this strategy... with `Color`! It has two constructors: RGBA and HSLA ( https://github.com/elm-lang/core/blob/master/src/Color.elm ), but neither is exported. This forces the user to use the various 'creation' functions to create one (

Yes, elm-lang.org/try is officially supported, so it should always be running the most recent version of Elm. But besides language version, Try doesn't ever get any updates. The goal is to make it easy for people to *try* Elm for the first time, not be a full in-browser IDE. Elm Fiddle was very
