Re: [elm-discuss] Re: Elm not for my use case

There are utilities to help automate that: https://github.com/eeue56/json-to-elm Thanks for the link, but... I had tried http://noredink.github.io/json-to-elm/ but the generated code does not compile. Just to be sure I tried with the code from the repo, but it does not work either. I spent s

[elm-discuss] Elm not for my use case

Hello, I've been exploring elm for the past few weeks and I did enjoy it very much. But I came to the conclusion that this is not a language I'm going to use any time soon. Before unsubscribing from this list, I just wanted to let you know why I'm leaving. Please keep in mind that this is abs

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: Impressions from a new user

You could define emptyLine somewhere in your code and just do Maybe.withDefault emptyLine (Dict.get name model.lines) Oh yes, that's great! Adopted! Thanks for the others pointers. I obviously still have quite a lot to discover in the language and its ecosystem! (although I was already aware

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: Impressions from a new user

Hi Matt, Thanks for your nice answer! As for Dicts, I would say double check to make sure you don't actually want a record. Basically if you know all the fields at compile time...you probably want a record, not a dict. I may have an habit of using dicts too often... (in python, almost everyth

Thanks Ian for your suggestions! As for pulling the common code into another function, my threshold is probably still the python one ;-) But I finally adopted your solution with the helper function defined in a let expression. That's already much better than my initial code! let f

[elm-discuss] Abort tasks?

Hello again, As an exercise for learning elm, I'm making a small app that aggregates the timetables of different bus and train lines on the same page. So when launching the program I Task.perform a bunch of Http.get's to get the departures from on online API. Now I want to allow the user to c

Hello again, Maybe this is a silly question, but does the function (\x -> [x]) exist in the standard libraries? I'm using it in my code but I'd like to be sure I'm not reinventing the wheel... Matthieu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss"

[elm-discuss] Impressions from a new user

Hello, This is my first post on this list. I've been experimenting with elm for the last few days and this is a very pleasant experience. First I want to thank Evan and the community for the excellent documentation. The guide and other docs allowed me to get into the language much quicker than
