[elm-discuss] Re: Current date (sorry for starting it again)

[Tim Bezhashvyly]

Sorry, I'm still not sure how to pass a received date or model to 
comparison function.

at least 3 peers for most packages:
the github repository, an official elm-lang server cache of all the tagged
repositories and a local machine peer.

Companies developing with Elm could also have a company peer.  :)

Yep, but that's a flaw in the current implementation (which was chosen for 
expedience), not a desired feature of the design.

The longer-term plan (which might be happening in 0.19) is for packages to 
be downloaded from somewhere other than the source repo.

Re: [elm-discuss] Can't install native package using elm-github-install

[Gusztáv Szikszai]

I think you are looking for something like 
this: 
https://github.com/gdotdesign/elm-ui/blob/master/source/Ui/Helpers/Emitter.elm 
It's a pure Elm pub / sub effects module (and possibly the most minimal 
example of an effect module).

[elm-discuss] Proposed addition for Task package

[Charlie Koster]

I'm a fan of the changes to Task.perform in Elm 0.18. However, I'm still 
finding that I'm writing a lot of boilerplate in some situations. For 
example, there are several instances when I want to send a msg which has no 
payload.

Task.perform (\_ -> GoToLoginPage) (Task.succeed Nothing)

I do this any time I am navigating to a different page, submitting a form, 
cancelling a form, kicking off any asynchronous request (logging in, 
CRUDing any data), and maybe one or two other special cases.

I don't see any reason why not have a function in Task that takes a msg and 
returns a Cmd msg.

sendMsg : msg -> Cmd msg

Which could be used like this

Task.sendMsg GoToLoginPage
Task.sendMsg GoToOneOfTenOtherPages
Task.sendMsg IsFetchingData
Task.sendMsg IsUpdatingData
Task.sendMsg IsCreatingData
Task.sendMsg IsDeletingData
Task.sendMsg CancelCreate
Task.sendMsg CancelDelete
Task.sendMsg LogoutSucceed
...

Any thoughts on this proposed addition? Does anyone else find themselves 
writing a lot of boilerplate with Task.perform?

Re: [elm-discuss] Rename Just to Something, as the counterpart to Nothing?

[joseph ni]

I came to Elm not knowing about the Maybe type. 
The hardest thing for me to grasp was the use case and being able to map : 
(a -> b) -> Maybe a -> Maybe b. And knowing when to use a Maybe (rarely) vs 
when to use a union type or refactor the code so it doesn't need the Maybe 
type.

If I was to qualitatively estimate the amount of time spent learning about 
Maybe. I'd say it took me a moment to understand `Maybe a = Just a | 
Nothing` and a couple of months to get comfortable enough with the Maybe 
type now to understand where it's needed in my app.

So I'd tend to lean with Joey, the wording works for me and changing it 
would feel arbitrary and break the current grammatical 'symmetry' as in
weapon = Just sword 
vs 
weapon = Something sword

Re: [elm-discuss] Tell me how to teach Web Apps

[Martin DeMello]

Some things that might help:

1. typescript 2.0 has a really nice set of type-related features.
https://blog.mariusschulz.com/2016/09/27/typescript-2-0-non-nullable-types

in particular, it has support for lexical closures, immutable ("readonly")
data, and tagged unions, which are over 90% of what i want from a
statically typed functional language.

2. stanza has a good rationale for optional typing:

Re: [elm-discuss] Unpublishing a package

There is no unpublish feature, and it's important that there never be one 
. :)

If you want to deprecate a package, I recommend publishing a new major 
release that removes everything and replaces the README with an explanation 
of how the package is gone now (and perhaps what to use instead).

Re: [elm-discuss] Tell me how to teach Web Apps

[Martin DeMello]

How about teaching it in typescript + react? Typescript is way better than
vanilla javascript, while still being reasonably mainstream and not too
different-looking.

[elm-discuss] Tell me how to teach Web Apps

[Robert Muller]

I'm teaching a full-semester course on Web Apps this spring. It's my first 
time through so I have a lot to learn. I'm a long-time functional 
programmer (mostly ML: SML & OCaml). If I wasn't worried about my students 
getting jobs and internships the choice would be obvious: I'd teach Elm! 
But the students are taking the course to get jobs and internships and I 
have to respect that so I'm looking for advice.
A couple of former students in industry tell me that I definitely need to 
cover back-end issues. So I'm considering teaching the front 3/4 of the 
course using Node.js + React.js and then integrating Elm in the advanced 
topics part during the last 1/4 might be reasonable.

But maybe not. Please tell share your thoughts with me!

[elm-discuss] highlight.js and elm code

[Brian Marick]

I recently installed highlight.js (http://highlightjs.readthedocs.io 
) on my blog. It’s supposed to understand 
Elm code, but the results are not appealing:



Given the same thing happens with Haskell code, I suspect I’m doing something 
wrong. Any advice or experience?

Is there any documentation on effects modules? I can kind of guess form 
looking at source code on github for 'navigation', 'window', 'mouse', etc, 
but it takes a bit of figuring out. I think in this case, an effects module 
is not really what I am after, I might be better just to replace what I did 
with 'out messages', and then at least my code would be pure Elm. But I got 
curious now to have a little play around and try to understand effects 
anyway.

But how then to pull current date in the functions where it could not be

You wouldn't be so sure of what? I am not sure which of my statements you

Network synchronization is a separate (and much more complicated) problem.
This library won't help with that.

 Great questions.

 I am wondering why you don't pass Clock.period to the update method and
> use the global delta instead


 Reasons why period doesn't get passed directly to the update function:

 1. The function would need 5 arguments, and that is too many.

 2. The period is unlikely to change. The Clock needs a period, so we
 may as well set the period on the clock once, and then not worry about it.

 (The same could be said of the physicsUpdate function... we're unlikely
 to ever pass a different function to Clock.update. So why isn't that
 attached to the Clock record too? Because then Clock's type definition
 would need a parameter. Parametrized types are fine. But in this case, I
 thought it was better to add complexity to the function rather than the
 type.)

 is this counter really useful for a physical update? Wouldn't we need
> more the real time (Clock.time*Clock.period)?

 You're absolutely right.

 Actually, I think more useful than either Clock.time or
 (Clock.time*Clock.period) might be to just pass Clock.period. That way, we
 wouldn't need that global delta value any more. What do you think about
 that?

 Thanks for taking a look!

Re: [elm-discuss] Rename Just to Something, as the counterpart to Nothing?

[Oliver Searle-Barnes]

I have to admit I did find `Just` very confusing when I first encountered 
it, as mentioned earlier in this thread it implies some kind of limitation 
which doesn't match the semantics of Maybe at all. That said, it was one of 
those little oddities that very quickly become second nature, just wanted 
to point out that it is a slight bump in the road for newcomers.

There is always this:  https://github.com/gdotdesign/elm-github-install
Install via:
```sh

npm install -g elm-github-install

```
With this usage:
```json

# elm-package.json

"NoRedInk/nri-elm-css": "1.3.0 <= 1.3.0 < 2.0.0",

Totally agree, but in our case the fork was done solely because our package 
hadn't been upgraded to 0.18 yet. So once we upgraded our package there 
were two indentical packages. (Or nearly identical, because they forgot to 
upgrade the tests.)

IMO having a way to install packages from other sources than 
package.elm-lang.org would solve this.

[elm-discuss] Passing properties as arguments to messages?

[Rex van der Spuy]

Hi Everyone,

Is it possible to pass model properties as message arguments and use those 
arguments to construct a new model?

For example, the only difference between these two messages is the model's 
properties:

AnimateQuestion animMsg ->
  let 
(newStyle, cmds) = 
  Animation.Messenger.update
animMsg
model.questionTextStyle
  in
 ({ model
 | questionTextStyle = newStyle
 }
 , cmds 
 )

AnimateAnswer animMsg ->
  let 
(newStyle, cmds) = 
  Animation.Messenger.update
animMsg
model.answerTextStyle
  in
 ({ model
 | answerTextStyle = newStyle
 }
 ,

Is it somehow possible to combine these into one message, using a generic 
"property" placeholder that could be provided by the argument?:

 Animate animMsg property ->
  let 
(newStyle, cmds) = 
  Animation.Messenger.update
animMsg
model.property
  in
 ({ model
 | property = newStyle
 }

That doesn't work of course, but is there some way to make it work?

Thanks!!

It matters less if some other places call it Option
 and the
cases have different names.
If one cares about the idea and the things it allows, they will use it as
it is and move on with the problem at hand.

There will always be people who arrive here with a different background.
There is no way to accommodate all.
So, the only sensible choice is for people accommodate themselves to Elm.

I care less if it is "Some value" or "Just value". Both sound and express
the idea equally well to me.
I will use whatever is there.

Re: [elm-discuss] Rename Just to Something, as the counterpart to Nothing?

[OvermindDL1]

I highly doubt it would ever be changed, but I significantly prefer the 
OCaml style Some/None to Haskell's Just/Nothing as well.

Although `Thing` and `NoThing` could by funny and descriptive both.  ^.^

Re: [elm-discuss] Rename Just to Something, as the counterpart to Nothing?

[Joey Eremondi]

True, I like Just because I'm familiar with it. But its name isn't obvious.
Some isn't obvious. Something isn't obvious.

There's really, two ways to understand Just. One is to listen to an
explanation like what Richard gives. The other is to see the definition:

type Maybe a = Just a | Nothing.

A Maybe either contains an "a", which we call the "Just" case, or it
contains no arguments, which we call "Nothing".

"Just" is a mnemonic. It's not the "meaning" of the constructor, it's just
a handy name that lets us get at it. The meaning is the two cases above,
the shape of the type. No name, no matter how informative, can capture that
full meaning.

Honestly, if we're appealing to JS developers, and wanted to change the
name, I'd say "Null" and "NotNull" are the two easiest. But I still prefer
the status quo to this.

Re: [elm-discuss] Rename Just to Something, as the counterpart to Nothing?

[Will White]

I remember being confused by Just, and I still find it awkward. Hearing Richard 
F. explain it in his introductory Elm talk 
 is what prompted me to start this 
discussion.

[elm-discuss] Re: Can Javascript to start Elm app be attached per page?

[OvermindDL1]

A few things (as I do use elm with phoenix):

1. Make sure the script tag is loaded before you load a page specific call 
like require or so (my script sends a 'js-loaded' event when done that my 
pages can listen to if it is not already sent, a simple function in the 
head can simplify that to a single call).
2. I like to pack all my elm apps into a single file (which is then stuffed 
inside app.js and minimized and such).  My individual pages just call 
`require("web/static/elm.js").whateverApp.embed(blah);`, thus the 
individual pages determine what they call, not a lot of checks in the 
javascript.  :-)

[Will White]

I think that’s because you already know what Just means. I don’t think it’s 
arbitrary though from an accessibility point of view. Some or None is easier 
for newcomers to understand than Just or Nothing, especially as Some isn’t 
misleading the way Just is, as Andrew described well.

Re: [elm-discuss] Rename Just to Something, as the counterpart to Nothing?

[Joey Eremondi]

Honestly, these choices seem pretty arbitrary. Everyone has a preference.
ML uses Some/None, Haskell uses Just/Nothing. Some people find Something
intuitive, some don't.

Given that the choices is (mostly) arbitrary, it seems best to stick with
the status quo.

http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/MichaelCombs28/elm-mdl/latest 

elm-mdl has a fork which is upgraded for Elm 0.18, whereas the 'official' 
debois/elm-mdl has not been upgraded yet. Which is why I am wondering if 
this is happening because of the bump to 0.18. I guess people are not 
prepared to do it the nice way, which would be to ask the author(s) if they 
would accept help to bump to 0.18, do the work and make a pull-request, 
then politely but persistenly ask for the work to be published.

I'm still waiting on a few packages before I can move up to 0.18, but I 
would not take the approach of publishing forks.

I wonder if adding the ability to publish to a local repo would help? So by 
default 'elm-package publish' just pushes to your local cache, and then 
running 'elm-package install' would pull from there. There would be a 
different procedure to push to the package repo, perhaps something along 
the lines of 'elm-package publish --live-repo', which will then display a 
helpful message about not being too eager to publish forked packages and an 
are you sure y/N prompt.

That way someone being impatient for the PR to be published could at least 
make/publish/consume a local build in the interim.

I was recently wondering what would happen if someone did a fork then 
publish. Why did they do it? was it to bump your package up for Elm 0.18?

This is a more interesting issue to discuss.

On one side, there should be freedom to fork and improved/change a package
(as long as your license allows it).
On the other side, I would not want nearly identical packages creating
noise in the package manager.

[elm-discuss] Re: Can Javascript to start Elm app be attached per page?

[Joel McCracken]

Does your layout view load app.js *after* the body has been loaded, akin to 
how mine does it here? 
https://github.com/joelmccracken/ef_support/blob/master/web/templates/layout/app.html.eex

notice 

<%= render @view_module, @view_template, assigns %> 

comes before

">

If this is the case, the elm app code will not be defined by the time your 
view specific code is run.

LMK if this is what is going on. If this is the case, you should be seeing 
errors like "Elm is undefined".

I thought “something or nothing” would be really good for quick understanding. 
If Something is really too long, how about Thing (vs Nothing)? Or if noun 
phrases really matter, how about Have or Got?

[elm-discuss] Re: Rename Just to Something, as the counterpart to Nothing?

['Andrew Radford' via Elm Discuss]

I dunno - I don't find either a clear winner over the other; years ago when 
I came across 'Just' I was a little confused because it's not strictly the 
opposite of 'nothing' when used in spoken English, it's normally used to 
also express there is a limitation at work, in the presence of a greater 
expectation. i.e it's a hungry man who says he has 'just peanuts' for 
lunch, rather than 'some peanuts'
On the other hand, 'Some' is kinda annoying cause it usually implies a 
plurality ie 'Some Peanut' sounds wrong.

There are probably spoken languages out there that have the perfect words 
for this concept. I'm not sure English is one of them.

The issue is that somebody forked our package (truqu/elm-base64) and
