[elm-discuss] Re: Compiler option to disable camel-case record property requirement?

I haven't looked into decoders yet. I'll read up on it and give them ago to see if there's a performance advantage to doing it on the Elm side vs the js side. On Wednesday, March 29, 2017 at 9:44:11 AM UTC-7, Kasey Speakman wrote: > > Short of language changes, you could: > > * Use the infamous

It's an option in the browser-based rich text editor that appears when posting/replying. The button looks like curly braces "{}". Highlight the code you have written and then press the button. On Wednesday, March 29, 2017 at 11:12:31 PM UTC-5, Duane Johnson wrote: > > May I ask how you

[elm-discuss] Re: Better syntax for nested pattern matching (destructuring)?

We have found that this pattern is typically a good case for chaining a bunch of andThen statements with a withDefault statement at the end together. The one thing is you would have to be able to adjust your values to all be Maybes. For example, if you have the following: case someMaybeVal

[elm-discuss] Re: Compiler option to disable camel-case record property requirement?

Can you elaborate on how you are getting the data from the backend into Elm values? Are you not using Elm decoders? We use snake_case for all of our database fields, and writing decoders that will receive the JSON and produce Elm values is a step we have to take with all of our data before it

Re: [elm-discuss] Cmd.map

I'm not really sure what are you suggesting, Mark. Is it's all really about that CSRF token, then OK, I could have hide it behind opaque type and expose just the bare minimum, so noone could tinker with it's value. Or I could turn the simple architecture into more complicated (extra mappings of

Re: [elm-discuss] Cmd.map

While it cuts down on the boilerplate, it seems like this creates a fair amount of exposure for what might otherwise be internal structures. For example, if the page update functions all get and produce full models, then each of the modules implementing those update functions becomes a place where

Re: [elm-discuss] Cmd.map

The best solution to deal with your problems is to use Swiss knife of functional programming, i.e.* function composition*. You would be surprised how about anything could be handled by this *simple* technique. Few weeks ago there was a question asked on Reddit about nesting data in a model. It

Re: [elm-discuss] Cmd.map

Thanks for the explanation. I understand the choices made so far, but I still haven't been able to find good solutions for some simple problems: 1. I don't want to have every single possible message handled in the same place. It gets too big. 2. My global update function deals with everything

Re: [elm-discuss] Cmd.map

The config approach pops up various places — e.g., elm-sortable-table — but isn't as well specified anywhere that I've seen because it doesn't have as clear a pattern to specify. Cmd.map (and Html,map) come out of what could be called Classic TEA. The classic Elm architecture was built to allow

Where can I find more information about that Config approach? I'm not able to find a way to organise multiple page applications that I like. On Wed, Mar 29, 2017 at 6:24 AM, Peter Damoc wrote: > If you have a series of pages that each has Cmds and you have these pages >

Short of language changes, you could: * Use the infamous encoders/decoders to emit/parse pascal case. * Use a header on the HTTP request to instruct the server to assume camel case for the request. Without pre-existing clients, I have the server emit camelCase (a serializer configuration

[elm-discuss] Compiler option to disable camel-case record property requirement?

Would you consider adding an option for users to disable the camel-case requirement for record properties in the compiler? Our use case: We have a large legacy system we'd like to bring Elm into that uses pascal case throughout (all database fields and all places they're referenced in the

Hi folks, I have updated the elm-i18n tool to automatically convert between elm source code and PO/CSV-files. https://github.com/iosphere/elm-i18n This is currently "only" a node CLI toolset, but it is already backed by elm at its core. In the coming days I will improve the elm code base

I've now seen something like this a few times. The last time I tried to build an SSCCE, the bug went away when I looked more closely so I expect to get nasty messages from the bug submission system if I try to report it as is, but I figured I would see whether anyone else has seen anything like
