Re: [elm-discuss] 0.17-compatible web storage

I think it ties in with the general theme of Elm trying to guide you into making the right choices - if there's no real use case for LocalStorage other than using it as a cache, why expose the low level bindings and allow people to shoot themselves in the foot with them? On Monday, October 31,

[elm-discuss] 0.17-compatible web storage

I would really like to be able to use local storage in elm. There have been several libraries that implement this, but none of them have been updated to elm 0.17. So far the advice I've seen is just to wait, but I'm tired of waiting. The specification for web storage is here:

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: The Style Elements Library: a different approach to styling

You can create a mixin as a function. myMixin : Style.Model -> Style.Model myMixin style = { style | visibility = hidden } myMixinColor : Style.Model -> Style.Model myMixinColor style = { style | colors = palette.blue } dropDown : List (Html.Attribute a) ->

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: The Style Elements Library: a different approach to styling

Yeah, this library is more about smart styling in elm rather than interfacing with polymer. Since we can do mixins in elm, native mixins probably won't be supported :/ I have thought that you could make a polymer or mdl type library in pure elm using the style-elements library, though it

Re: [elm-discuss] 0.17-compatible web storage

Because primitives rock. If we expose API primitives in a typesafe way, we allow the community to use them to create useful libraries. I actually see that the persistent cache package has a LocalStorage module which exposes a subset of my proposed API. However, It does not implement the storage

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: Metalinguistic abstractions over databases

There is a danger in focusing on data over use cases. It's not a guarantee that you make this mistake (I have), but you know you've gone too far with it when most workflows are Load/Edit/Save (or Create/Save). And the user is left to know what field to change to have a specific effect in the

[elm-discuss] text editor in Elm

Can anyone point to an editor done in Elm? I am particularly interested in seeing how mouse interaction (highlight, selection, copy, paste etc) is handled. I looked through DreamWriter. I don't think it implements the part I mentioned in Elm, though to be honest I am not quite sure how it

Re: [elm-discuss] 0.17-compatible web storage

https://github.com/fredcy/localstorage runs in Elm 0.17 and has storage events. The provided examples show it handling some events. That repo will never be published as an Elm package though. I originally named it "Storage", thinking to do session storage next. But it's a dead end and I gave
