Thanks for the kind words everyone. Yes, please send pull requests to the
main repo and I will integrate them.
The short term goal is to make a typed SVG library (as mentioned earlier,
fully typed and documented). Medium-term, I'd like to adopt some sensible
module partitions that help segregate functionality into logical units
(e.g. core graphics, animations, filters). The long term goal is to create
a pleasant and intuitive SVG library, something that will come from seeing
how we all use this in practice.
For instance, one idea I've had is to create core graphics modules that
"assume" a length such as `px` or `em`. I've noticed when I create scalable
vector graphics, I typically measure everything in the same units, so it
doesn't make sense to specify units all over the place.
As an example, right now you need the following `px` helper methods to
express unit of length:
{
import TypedSvg.Attributes exposing (x, y, width, height, strokeWidth)
rect
[ x (px 150)
, y (px 150)
, width (px 200)
, height (px 200)
, fill Color.black
, strokeWidth (px 2)
, stroke <| Color.rgba 90 60 60 0.5
]
[]
}
I'd rather be able to forego the `px`:
{
import TypedSvg.Attributes.InPx exposing (x, y, width, height,
strokeWidth)
rect
[ x 150
, y 150
, width 200
, height 200
, fill Color.black
, strokeWidth 2
, stroke <| Color.rgba 90 60 60 0.5
]
[]
}
Anyway, just some of my current thinking. Other thoughts and ideas welcome.
