The model has a viewport. And this should be set as soon as the section is createtd.

Cathey

As the content is variable, I dont know it in advance

Cathey

You're trying to have an event produced when the `section` appears in the `view`, but whether the `section` appears in the `view` is dependent on whether the `model` contains a certain value. So you should be asking, when does the model contain such a value?
2019-02-16T05:19:47.516200
Earlean

It's common in ReactJS to do things like `componentDidMount` etc. this isn't how it's done in Elm. Because `view` elements in Elm can't hold state.
2019-02-16T05:21:05.516400
Earlean
elmlang
general
the state is in the model
2019-02-16T05:21:20.516600
Earlean
elmlang
general
Right! Then I need a state in the model, which controls the visibility of the view… thats the way round….
2019-02-16T05:22:33.516900
Cathey
elmlang
general
But however, at some point it has to be triggered by a message… which an elm app can never send itself but only by a Browser.Event or Dom function, HTML request or any other elm function that interacts with the outer world… conclussionn: what I want is not possible in elm, except with binding it to a port and subscribe to that…
2019-02-16T05:31:56.517200
Cathey
elmlang
general
if you had a port, when would you send to it?
2019-02-16T05:55:05.517400
Earlean
elmlang
general
I think you're missing the key point, either you `model` contains a value that would result in that `section` being in the `view` at `init` or some event happens that changes the `model` so that the `section` is in your `view`
2019-02-16T05:56:22.517600
Earlean
elmlang
general
if the value is there at `init` then `section` will be in the `view` at `init` so you can do this at `init`
2019-02-16T05:57:09.517800
Earlean

yes. totally agree. But I did end up myself in a dead-end. I totally messed up my architecture. it works, but does not follow this pattern strictly… :disappointed:

Hi folks, I was under the assumption that `Html.lazy` would only be called if the passed value changed, but from this scsee <https://ellie-app.com/4KMM8RhbVpva1> it appears that lazy have no effect (it's called on each frame, not every second as it should).
2019-02-16T06:09:50.520200
Jonna
elmlang
general
<@Jonna> the function that you passed to `Html.lazy` is a different function each time
2019-02-16T06:11:45.520800
Earlean
elmlang
general
the trick to `Html.Lazy.lazy` is that it does 'reference comparison' rather than the usual 'value comparison' in the rest of Elm. This is an optimisation, doing a full value comparison would be very costly and would make the optimisation worthless.
2019-02-16T06:13:25.522500
Earlean

<@Jonna> <https://ellie-app.com/4KMW5QMCfxna1> is `Html.Lazy.lazy` functioning as expected
2019-02-16T06:17:54.523400
Earlean
elmlang

I didn't knew the function reference counted as well
2019-02-16T06:17:58.523600
Jonna
elmlang

it must, otherwise providing a different function wouldn't result in a change
2019-02-16T06:19:14.524600
Earlean

which would be very unexpected

2019-02-16T06:20:12.525800

`Html.Lazy.lazy` has always been reference comparison
2019-02-16T06:20:46.526200
Earlean
elmlang
general
yes, for the value, but for the function I am fairly sure that in 0.15-ish it wasn't checking
2019-02-16T06:21:51.526900

anyways

The thing about `Html.Lazy.lazy` is that it's a transparent optimisation, it works the same whether or not the optimisation is happening or not.
2019-02-16T06:23:14.528400
Earlean
elmlang
general
if it didn't compare against the function then it would produce a different result than if it was just `identity` which would be very broken

Hello. I’m discovering the rtfeldman/elm-css package. I can’t figure how to use the transparent color value. This code does not compile because transparent has not the same type as hex “EEE”: ``` let rowColor = if item.even then hex "EEE" else transparent in div [ css [ backgroundColor rowColor ] ] &lt;| ... ```

<@Allyn> Try this instead: ``` rowBgColor = if item.even then backgroundColor (hex "EEE") else backgroundColor transparent ... div [css [rowBgColor]] [...] ```

Becuase `backgroundColor` accepts `ColorValue compatible`

As you mentioned `hex "EEE"` and `transparent` have different types

you can tell by the type signature, if it was a function then it's type would contain `-&gt;`

2019-02-16T08:55:20.547100

`ul [] ((List.map onePage pages) ++ [a [href "/posts/new" ] [text "Create new post"]])`

Anyone else using the elm/file package. I am trying to use File.Select.files but the file browser that comes up is a single file select browser. I checked the kernel js code and it seems legit as it sets the multiple attribute to an empty string.
