Re: [elm-discuss] TypeNats, SafeList and Array-Multidim updated for 0.17

I agree with Martin. Do it the way that suits your own organizing best. (But all else being equal, maybe it is not worth troubling users of your packages to rename their dependencies.) As to the original question about there being a guideline against elm- prefixes in package names: Note that

[elm-discuss] In a select element, how do I designate the initially selected option from my model?

Let's say I have a select element to choose a person, and I want to have a certain person, say with id = 3, to be initially selected. How do I pass this id down into my options, and then set the selected attribute to True in that options? Some sample code: personSelect : List Person ->

[elm-discuss] Unrelated modules having ports with the same name

Hello, I find it confusing about ports in modules, I have sent an issue but didn't get notice for a month, so I'd like to post it here for discussion. I have two modules, they both have a port with the same name: port module ModuleA

The only ones that really makes sense to auto convert through a port is ISO string or JS native. If you use a strange object, then yeah you would need manual conversion. Re encoding: You can pass the value over as Json.Value and decode it, no? On Monday, August 22, 2016 at 11:25:31 AM UTC-5,

Too many formats for date though. ;-) Such as is it in a format of a String? With or without timezone? Is it in the format of a record like this that I use: ```elm type alias JsonDateTime = { year : Int , timezone : { until : String , offset_utc : Int ,

For years I coded in Java using IntelliJ. It was super easy in that IDE to hover on any symbol, system or otherwise, and learn all about it. Or hit ctrl-B (eg) to drill into the source. Again, worked fine for system libraries and was really useful for seeing how the under-the-covers stuff

[elm-discuss] So how do *you* handle Dates through ports?

If I have a record with a Date field, and I need to receive that through a port (which I understand is not possible). Do I have to de/code the whole record just because of this or is there a better way? Another way that occurs to me is to create two records, one with the date as a string for

Re: [elm-discuss] Re: Making imports more pleasant

Not at all. You'd use qualified imports. `import Html exposing (div, span, text, input, form)` or `import Html as H` and then `H.div` `H.text` and so on. One of the strength of Elm is keeping everything very explicit, which makes it super newbie friendly. On Mon, Aug 22, 2016 at 3:08 PM,

I don't think it should be disallowed entirely. Disallowing it would make Html and other familiar things like that harder to read, without helping understanding. On Monday, August 22, 2016 at 11:10:38 AM UTC+1, Francesco Orsenigo wrote: > > The only issue I have with imports is that any code

The only issue I have with imports is that any code that contains several unqualified imports is a pain in the ass to learn. Example: https://github.com/Bogdanp/elm-combine/blob/2.2.1/examples/Python.elm As a newbie, it's immensely frustrating being unable to easily track which of the `import

Sure, I just copied the function definition to my module that uses Random.Pcg instead of Random. There was no need to change the implementation, it just uses Random.Pcg.constant instead of Random.Extra.constant, I believe. import Random.Pcg as Random exposing (Generator) {-| Turn a list of
