Thanks for the extended feedback :) I will be back here once I have something big enough! Regards, Witold Szczerba On Wed, Nov 16, 2016 at 10:13 AM, Wouter In t Velt wrote: > Op dinsdag 15 november 2016 23:03:31 UTC+1 schreef Witold Szczerba: >> >> Thank you, Wouter

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: Correct use of port subscriptions in a submodule reused multiple times?

Thank you, Wouter for explanation. I was reading the documentation, but the chapter covers just the reusable views. View functions seems fine, using modules one can create, group, nest, etc. I am wondering how making everything "flat" scales in a long term. Having everything in just 4 files

Hi Wouter, you said: > My own productivity in Elm has improved enormously since moving to flat instead of nested, and moving away from components. I am trying to get my head around Elm for some time, did not have an opportunity to test drive it until recently. It's still extremely small

Definitely recommend simplifying it yep. :-) Ports, in my opinion, should only ever go in one, fully-functional module (I have it in a `Ports.elm` in my projects) that all things should share through it. The global top-level update call should feel free to delegate messages around. On

Thanks OverminDL1 and Wouter In t Velt, I will try to explain how I have come to this issue. Originally, I have designed a web page (the "part") that was loading a collection of images to display them. So the flow was: - init the elm page with a list of images urls - [port] send the urls to JS

[elm-discuss] Re: Correct use of port subscriptions in a submodule reused multiple times?

In your design, the port has a 1-to-1 connection to the Part. The port does not communicate for which Part the incoming message is intended, because it "expects" that their is only 1 Part. Your batch function in the subscriptions in the Group.elm passes on the port message on to all your Parts.

[elm-discuss] Re: Correct use of port subscriptions in a submodule reused multiple times?

That is expected. Generally you'd have a uniquely named port per module unless they really do all need to get the message. It might be better if you describe what you are trying to accomplish instead of how to accomplish it? :-) On Tuesday, November 8, 2016 at 10:19:37 AM UTC-7, Matthieu
