[elm-discuss] Updating an image in the view.

I'm still too early in elm to know the correct question to ask so in the interests of avoiding the XY problem I'm just going to describe my end-goal and ask for the best approach to achieve it. I have (what I think is) an interesting use-case where I want to model on a webpage a physical

You may be interested in looking at Auto Layout for Mac and iOS apps. https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/AutolayoutPG/index.html It uses a system of linear equations to solve the defined layout constraints. On Sep 25, 2016 4:47 PM, "Duane Johnson"

Hi Andrew, The official docs are harder to change than I'd like, but I welcome docs issues and PRs to my library: https://github.com/mgold/elm-random-pcg Eventually the RNG will replace core's, and hopefully I'll be able to update the docs at that time. -- You received this message

[elm-discuss] Does CSS model the right problem?

Cascading Style Sheets are a way of selecting elements of a document and describing their properties. At a high level, as a designer (be gentle as I pretend to be a designer), I want to precisely articulate certain requirements of the properties of a website, while playing with (i.e. allowing

Re: [elm-discuss] CSS in Elm: best practices?

Regarding 1. I don't see how the compiler can deduce that a certain union type you used was suppose to have the meaning of ID and another meaning of class One way you can do this manually is to specialize the namespace manually and then unpack it. namespace : Namespace String Classes Ids msg

[elm-discuss] How to use elm-style-animation to make smoothly moving clock hand

As a front end newbie, I was pleased I could make a clock hand with an arrow using a marker https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Element/marker That allows me a pretty(ish) clock hand that automagically has the arrowhead appropriately rotated to match the orientation of the line.

[elm-discuss] elm-format and long strings

I'm curious if there are other options for making long inline strings look good in Elm: 1. Use double quotes and (++) to concatenate. Cons: adds runtime operation; must add parens around the string block if it's an argument, e.g. the following does not compile ```elm |> Dict.insert 2

[elm-discuss] Re: PSA for beginners

Yeah, that it *really* good. I also watched Richard's Side-effects as Data and had my mind blown. In fact, I was in the middle of writing a Wordpress plugin and decided to see what would happen if I tried representing the database access as data.

[elm-discuss] Identity continuity for views

There's been a discussion of what it would take to support Web Components well in Elm and one of the primary issues that has come up has been problems with the virtual DOM not preserving component DOM elements during an update or preserving them when it should not. This matters because these are

[elm-discuss] CSS in Elm: best practices?

I built a small app using elm-css to spin the wheels. One of the things I'm looking for is a "compiler's got my back" kind of experience with CSS; however, I found a couple of oversights. I'm curious if there are some best practices that might have given me a better experience: 1. I accidentally

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: Random in 0.17 and purity

At the risk of necroposting, just thought I'd mention that today is the day that I first needed Random-ness in elm. After accidentally reading the old Random docs, encountering and wondering about the function signatures that pass the random seed around, having the lightbulb moment about this

[elm-discuss] Re: Confused by error (inline function, >, tagged type)

It looks like the error you get is because you redefine the '>' function by using the same function: - You redefine '>' to take 2 DropsPerSecond types - Inside this function you want to use the "old" '>' function to compare 2 Floats The compiler - I think - is ahead of you: it uses

Type aliases will get you the documentation benefit of types, but I think they forego the type-checking benefit of types since a type alias to Float doesn't actually produce a type that is different from Float. Mark On Saturday, September 24, 2016, Joaquín Oltra wrote:
