Thanks for the level of detail on this! Testing that things are wired up as expected is something I'd like to add to elm-test. I hadn't thought about the "shared fixtures" angle. It's definitely interesting! I'm also curious to see if anyone else has any similar use cases, and their

[elm-discuss] Using flat-file JSON fixtures in elm-test and API tests

Hi everyone! I'd like to propose an idea that I've been playing with for a bit. *Core problem:* Testing an API is not too challenging, and the tests are pretty fast too (e.g., controller and unit tests in Ruby on Rails). Verifying that an Elm frontend works is fairly straightforward as well

I don't disagree with anything your wrote there, but I still have this problem to deal with now. The path of least resistance happens to also be the path that uses query strings that are technically correct (nevermind about technically correct URLs). If a library comes along and makes parsing

Re: [elm-discuss] elm-lang/Navigation with hash and query string

There is nothing "technically" incorrect in e.g. 15 All the SPA I have seen had URLs like this, because this is just the browser who cares about that part of the location. This is why, when creating e.g.: next there is no need to hack browser to stop it from page reload as this is all about

Re: [elm-discuss] What do you think Elm's biggest shortcomings are when it comes to natively supported API's?

(Elm discuss is fine for this. There are almost no open discussions on elm dev, as these are usually a waste of everyone's time.) For me, these things would be nice to have: * WebAudio API * File upload * Working with binary files, e.g. parsing * Persistent cache, offering access to

Re: [elm-discuss] elm-lang/Navigation with hash and query string

If I use hashes I now have to do manual work in order to use and parse query strings. Let's say I want to handle a query string such as "myPage?search=things=asc". If there's a hash in front of "myPage" the query string doesn't get interpreted as a search string by elm-lang/Navigation

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: [elm-dev] Re: 0.17 Tasks vs Cmds

Since I wasn't proposing to get rid of subscriptions and since this functionality is covered through subscriptions, my proposal arguably doesn't cause a problem. But that's just getting through the loophole of this specific example to dodge this particular case, so let me see if I can get straight

Re: [elm-discuss] What do you think Elm's biggest shortcomings are when it comes to natively supported API's?

Per the elm-dev mailing list guidelines, I don't think this would be appropriate there. I'm also mostly interested in what other users feel are shortcomings. Perhaps if I had a curated list of things, I could try and bring it to the devs attention. On Sunday, December 11, 2016 at 10:09:55

Thanks for the quick replies. I found my mistake (my Dict declaration what missing a type). Coming from Haskell, I find Elm's error messages a Joy as they are normally right on the money. This was a rare instance where the error message had me barking up the wrong tree. Having said

You're going to be more specific about what concerns you about the current format. The Elm community likes to work together towards solutions, not get into debates. To that end, the tooling and conventions create a multi-layered system of documentation: As in any language, *code comments* are

Re: [elm-discuss] elm-lang/Navigation with hash and query string

Thanks for the response, Magnus. If I'm understanding correctly, you have a parent div that prevents default click events of child elements, including your anchor tag, and turns them into `Attribute msg`. Your solution is interesting, although it looks like a fair amount of boilerplate and

[elm-discuss] contentEditable and caret jumps

I've got a problem. We need to use contentEditable elements and while editing them, the caret jumps to the beginning of the box everytime the model updates. This derives from the fact that the browser holds some state about the caret position outside the model (the horror), and we reset that
