I don’t know how to plug in the JS that I call through ports, without having a separate index.html <https://github.com/gurdiga/xo.elm/blob/9fe9bd1b9f7cb13b6653ec55d9e873033e8930ed/index.html> in which I plug the external library <https://github.com/gurdiga/xo.elm/blob/9fe9bd1b9f7cb13b6653ec55d9e873033e8930ed/index.html#L13> , the bundle coming out of Elm <https://github.com/gurdiga/xo.elm/blob/9fe9bd1b9f7cb13b6653ec55d9e873033e8930ed/index.html#L14>, and then the bits of glue code <https://github.com/gurdiga/xo.elm/blob/9fe9bd1b9f7cb13b6653ec55d9e873033e8930ed/index.html#L21-L22> to tie them together. 😑 I’m wondering if anyone has experience with having ports working with the Elm Reactor. 🤔 > I think a better way would be to not have nested components.

I’ve heard Richard Feldman mentioning that they also have a flat structure for their production app at NoRedInk, but I think I just can’t imagine how would that look like, and then, as I guess every other mortal, I fallback to ways that I know. 🙃 One other reason why I went hierarchical is that I’m used to seeing domain models as hierarchies, and in My Ideal World®✨ the code follows the domain as close as possible. 😎 I’m definitely open to hearing, or — even better — *seeing* examples of large apps that use a flat structure. 🤓 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
