[elm-discuss] How to convince your boss to start using Elm in the company

Really, although Elm is young and changing its also simple and strong. Here's the argument: - do you want runtime errors? - do you want to use something simple or complex? (In a Rich Hickey sense) there strives to be one way to do things. This saves valuable decision time that JavaScript develo

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: Unable to access DataTransfer from Drag and Drop event - Elm 0.17

I finally reached out to Evan, and he said the dataTransfer is not supported yet in Elm. I'm not sure when it will be either. I ended up using JS. So part of my page is not in Elm. I too would love to see this support added. Sorry On Thu, Jun 23, 2016 at 6:02 PM Joe Fontana wrote: > Hi Ronn - di

[elm-discuss] Re: Beginner: Help with tasks: now : Task x Time

An alternate approach is just to use 'never' from elm-community/basics-extra directly for your '[WHAT HERE?]'. Although the error case actually comes first, so your example should be Task.perform [WHAT HERE?] NewEntry Time.now and my preferred answer would be (assuming 'import Basics.Extra expo

Hi Ronn - did you ever figure this out? I have a similar requirement for my app and would like to use native elm if possible. On Monday, May 16, 2016 at 6:09:18 PM UTC-4, Ronn Ross wrote: > > Still no luck, but I'm getting closer. The problem is I'm not sure how to > build the decoder for th

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: Impressions from a new user

Hi Matthieu, Welcome to elm! I too have a background in Python and here are some things I've learned as I've written projects in elm. You're right it is more verbose in a lot of cases. What you get in a lot of cases is that it's very clear what's going on while in python there can be a decen

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: Impressions from a new user

Thanks Ian for your suggestions! As for pulling the common code into another function, my threshold is probably still the python one ;-) But I finally adopted your solution with the helper function defined in a let expression. That's already much better than my initial code! let f

It's not possible to abort requests using the HTTP library (yet). See this issue[1] for some discussion. [1] https://github.com/evancz/elm-http/issues/17 On Thu, 23 Jun 2016 at 15:29 barmin wrote: > Hello again, > > As an exercise for learning elm, I'm making a small app that aggregates > the t

Little suggestions on your no-string-interpolation example: (String.pad 2 '0' <| toString (hour date)) ++ ":" ++ (String.pad 2 '0' <| toString (minute date)) 1. You could try http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/mgold/elm-date-format/1.1.4/ if you're not opposed to using a third party package.

Hi, It works for me with Elm 0.16 (using elm-codemirror). Thanks guys! But it is possible to make it workable for Elm 0.17? Or solution is only to use ports? Thanks! On Friday, 25 March 2016 16:03:39 UTC+1, San Gillis wrote: > > Hi, > > I built a simple integration of Highcarts.js in Elm usi
