I've used the mentioned "workaround" with Html.Keyed several times, and we also use that approach on several pages at NoRedInk.
To summarize: the approach I'd personally use is the same that zwilias suggests and shared an example of in the comments of the issue mentioned previously: https://ellie-app.com/3fPSxX6VHK7a1/0 view model = ... , Html.Keyed.node "div" [ ( toString model.generation ++ "-name" , Html.input [ Html.Attributes.defaultValue model.name ] [] ) ] , Html.button [ Html.Events.onClick Submit ] [ Html.text "Submit" ] ... update msg model = case msg of ChangeName newName -> { model | name = newName } Submit -> { model | generation = model.generation + 1, name = "" } On Wed, Jun 21, 2017 at 1:00 AM, zeh dude <mattia.d.de...@gmail.com> wrote: > I struggled with this a bit some time ago (had to clear some form fields > on command), and no matter which solution I tried there were unwanted side > effects that I just could not make it work with just Elm. > > So what I ended up doing was use a port to use plain javascript to reset > the field values and unlink the value of the fields from the model > property.. it was the cleanest way I could find at the time and as soon as > issue 105 is fixed I can remove it easily (I can just link back the model > property to the value of the fields, and remove the command using the port). > I wouldn't say this is the recommended way, but I just wanted to share the > experience. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Elm Discuss" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to elm-discuss+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
