Im trying to imagine what I would do in OOP if I want to add some AI logic to my game next. Here I just add a few new functions to the pipeline :stuck_out_tongue: :clap::skin-tone-2:

Can anyone point me to the best place to ask a question about Json.Decode.Pipeline?

Basically, I have a model where I want to decode `buildNumber` but it might be in Json as `build` or `buildNumber` and I'm struggling to figure out how to do that.

string or null. basically I'm hitting an API that has versioned and not all data has updated. what we had before when it was just `buildNumber` was this:
2019-02-13T16:43:13.250000
Jude
elmlang
general
`|&gt; Json.Decode.Pipeline.optional "buildNumber" (Decode.nullable Decode.string) Nothing`
2019-02-13T16:43:16.250200
Jude
elmlang
general
but now the property might be at `build` instead of `buildNumber` so I want to check both before using `Nothing`
2019-02-13T16:43:39.250700
Jude
elmlang
general
Are there any rules that guide whether it might be in one place or another? Is it random? Can both be present?
2019-02-13T16:45:04.251500
Carman
elmlang

one or the other, or neither
2019-02-13T16:45:30.251800
Jude

Old data will have `buildNumber`, or nothing, new data will have `build` or nothing
2019-02-13T16:46:09.252500
Jude
elmlang

When you make a request do you know if you're dealing with old or new data?
2019-02-13T16:46:39.252800
Carman
elmlang

no
2019-02-13T16:47:04.253000

You can build a decoder that uses the first location that works: ``` oldOrNewBuildNumber : Decoder String oldOrNewBuildNumber = Decode.oneOf [ Decode.field "buildNumber" Decode.string , Decode.field "build" Decode.string ] ```
2019-02-13T16:50:27.254500
Carman
elmlang
general
You can then plug this into a pipeline using `Json.Decode.Pipeline.custom`
2019-02-13T16:50:47.255000
Carman
elmlang
general
``` |&gt; Json.Decode.Pipeline.custom oldOrNewBuildNumber ```

I needed nullables to match up, but that's it
2019-02-13T16:59:05.256000
Jude
elmlang
general
``` Decode.oneOf [ Decode.field "buildNumber" (Decode.nullable Decode.string) , Decode.field "build" (Decode.nullable Decode.string) ] ```
2019-02-13T16:59:14.256300
Jude
elmlang
general
You may want to move the nullable out one level
2019-02-13T17:04:36.257000
Carman
elmlang
general
``` |&gt; Json.Decode.Pipeline.custom (Decode.nullable oldOrNewBuildNumber) ```
2019-02-13T17:04:49.257300
Carman
elmlang
general
This allows the `oldOrNewBuildNumber` decoder to be used in both nullable and non-nullable contexts
2019-02-13T17:05:15.257900
Carman

That makes sense, thanks.

Is because of the subscription. Is subscribed to session changes with a message `GotSession`
2019-02-13T17:18:22.262200
Noelle

I saw that but how is the session changed after Login ?
2019-02-13T17:18:52.262400
Hiedi
elmlang

If the log in is success, you have a CMD that communicates to the port that is defined in the html/index.js (elm initialization)
2019-02-13T17:20:00.262600
Noelle
elmlang
general
That port sends back the session through a port. And the Login page is subscribed to listen to those changes
2019-02-13T17:20:35.262900
Noelle

``` CompletedLogin (Ok viewer) -&gt; ( model , Viewer.store viewer )```

Viewer: ```store : Viewer -&gt; Cmd msg store (Viewer avatarVal credVal) = Api.storeCredWith credVal avatarVal```

<@Bernardina> best option for defining CSS in Elm : elm-css best option for styling/layout in general: probably elm-ui <https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/rtfeldman/elm-css/latest> <https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/mdgriffith/elm-ui/latest>

Then use `elm-css` for special cases

2019-02-13T19:20:03.273900
Bernardina
elmlang

<@Bernardina> `Html.Attributes style` is just like setting inline CSS styles, which doesn't support things like hover
2019-02-13T19:21:25.274900
Nana
elmlang

So in this case I either include external .css file, or I use `elm-css`?

if you're not a CSS expert I would highly recommend elm-ui, it's way easier

I am not sure if I can use with it `elm-ui`
2019-02-13T19:23:59.277300

ah no elm-ui shouldn't really be combined with a css framework like Bootstrap
2019-02-13T19:27:48.277800

though I'm also not sure how well elm-css would interact with Bootstrap - that's kind of the problem with CSS, when you start layering styles on top of each other

Morning Everyone. I'm implementing a kind of i18n into an elm application. I have a question that could seems dumb. I am storing the formatting for a currency in the main Elm object. Now everytime someone wants to use CurrencyFormat needs to pass the main model. Is there a best practise to avoid passing the main model around ?
2019-02-14T04:32:33.281300
Anderson
elmlang
general
You don't have to pass the whole model to functions which need only currency format. Write functions accepting your CurrencyFormat record and pass only that field when calling them
2019-02-14T04:38:24.281400
Lynne
elmlang
general
Something like: ``` displayCurrency : CurrencyFormat -&gt; Float -&gt; String displayCurrency = ... ... displayCurrency model.currencyFormat value ```
2019-02-14T04:39:29.281700
Lynne
elmlang
general
Thanks, I believe I still need to pass the model to who is using displayCurrency
2019-02-14T04:41:54.282700
Anderson
elmlang
general
Well, it depends on your app structure. The point is you can structure it the way when you pass only relevant data to helper functions
2019-02-14T04:42:56.282900
Lynne
elmlang
general
You can't have global variables, so properly structuring your app is the only way to avoid passing the complete model everywhere
2019-02-14T04:44:09.283100
Lynne
elmlang
general
Unless your format is constant, of course. Then you can just have another module with function returning it
2019-02-14T04:45:01.283300
Lynne
elmlang
general
I am just not used to depends on a main model.
2019-02-14T04:48:26.285000
Anderson

Thanks for the info.. ill try to pass the correct data in the right function
2019-02-14T04:48:53.286000
Anderson
elmlang

I understand that, and, I believe, it is not a super good practice to pass it everywhere as it complicates refactoring
2019-02-14T04:49:05.286200
Lynne
elmlang
general
there is a structure that goes by various names but in essence implies that there is a Context in which things happen. This context data is held in a record or some Custom Type and is passed around.
2019-02-14T04:49:11.286400

2019-02-14T04:52:02.287200
Anderson

that's was really interesting! thanks! And I believe you can create multiple different sharedState based on the module you are in.
2019-02-14T05:02:59.287500
Anderson
elmlang
general
so you only have the dependencies you need in the right place
2019-02-14T05:03:17.287700
Anderson
elmlang
general
I think the point of SharedState is that it is shared between all modules
2019-02-14T05:03:49.287900
Lynne
elmlang
general
So you should not need different shared states
2019-02-14T05:04:12.288100
Lynne
elmlang
general
Only if your app is split into groups of modules but that's most likely an overkill
2019-02-14T05:04:35.288300
Lynne
elmlang
general
Yes, the idea of the SharedState is that it acts like a context for all the places of the app. You can have partitions within this state that handle various aspects.

Howdy everyone! I wanted to inspect the VirtualDom Kernel code because I am getting it to crash. I would like to make some modifications to it locally in order to fix it. The problem is - I can not find the source code that actually gets compiled. I am using `elm/[email protected]`. In the chromium inspector it shows me the line that crashed to be right below ``` // tag must be 1 or 2 at this point var vKids = vNode.e;```
2019-02-14T05:18:46.291300

But in the source code of virtualDominside `~/.elm/___/virtual-dom/1.0.2/` it says ``` // tag must be __2_NODE or __2_KEYED_NODE at this point var vKids = vNode.__kids; ``` And when I try modifying this file it does not arrive in the browser when using elm-make.
2019-02-14T05:20:03.292600

2019-02-14T05:20:39.293000

the hits on google are the compiled results from elm-make.

It seems like that first excerpt is an optimized version of the second (constants are replaced with values, field name is shortened)

I grepped everything for the comment that virtualdom is crashing on. I can also confirm that the [email protected] is the one in my elm.json plus the only one installed in the local ~/.elm directory

2019-02-14T05:22:58.295400
Teri

Well, it depends on the optimizer. It can just replace by regex and don't care if it is comment or not
