Hi Peter,
If I understand correctly, a box is basically a mini-main. And boxes can be
composed into one big main. I like the resulting code, like:
main : Html msg
main =
div []
[ counter [ value 4 ] []
, counter [ value 2 ] []
]
The result is a very easy composable main. Questions that come to mind are:
- Theme-ability: can components adhere to a general CSS theme?
- And I did not see an example where information from one component is used
in another. How would that look like? Can a box store information in a
model in main, for example? I imagine a form box that gathers information
from a user (including validation, etc.) and if form is valid the
information is stored in the model in main. And some other component uses
this information to show the data.
- Can boxes exist within boxes?
PS: the example runs in chrome. But, in Safari I get the following error:

Which is line 162 in box.js.
Thanks!
