[elm-discuss] Re: List of all members of a union type

I had a different use case for the same basic idea. With GraphQL we have a sort-of typed query language that returns clearly defined json structures. In an ideal world therefore you should be able to define an Elm data structure (sum or union type) and for library functions to be able to

I remember reading that post from Overmind and thinking it v odd. Maybe I am blind or have rose coloured glasses. Unsure whether Noah's rule book will help or hinder. But good that he cares. On Sat 6. May 2017 at 09:01, Mark Marlow wrote: > John, > > I tend to agree that

Re: [elm-discuss] New guidelines for posting on Elm-discuss

John, I tend to agree that the discourse isn't a problem. However, one can't help but notice that there is a perception of hostility in this community, e.g. https://elixirforum.com/t/front-end-development-options-2017/3832/2 The standard you walk past is the standard you accept, and we all

[elm-discuss] Re: Collecting use cases for File, ArrayBuffer and TypedArrays/DataViews

*Uploading files to AWS S3* That's my only use case so far for binary-type APIs of JS. I first call my own API to get a signed upload link, then PUT a file at that link. My simple way to upload files using Elm's Http module can be found here

[elm-discuss] File Uploads - as simple as I could manage

After a bit of research on file uploads, I pared it down to the simplest method I could find. Here is the recipe I came up with. https://gist.github.com/kspeakman/20708d5ff58b6ea75f9c3a82f6c793c3 The FileUtils module essentially wraps the JS File object in Http.Body as well as exposing common

[elm-discuss] Re: Local third-party packages

I've been working on this in the last few days, and published 1.0.0 of *elm-github-install* which handles using a fork (or any other git repository for a package) and using a local directory. If anyone tries this out some

Re: [elm-discuss] New guidelines for posting on Elm-discuss

Hi Dustin, Regarding where to post, my personal recommendation is to choose Slack first. It has the largest community and problems get answered very quickly. People will also direct you to the right place if you're not sure. Regarding guidelines, we have discussed this quite a bit, and this post
