Do you have recommendations on how to handle dropdowns? If I see it correctly there are currently three packages for 0.19 that provide such functionality. Hence I wondered, if these are what anyone is using OR if everyone is rolling their own OR if most are simply using the standard html `<select>`

Use the standard HTML `<select>` unless you have a good reason to do something else

Well, I guess that's a conversation you need to have with them. Why do they not like the standard `&lt;select&gt;`? Is it just the look and feel? Is there some extra functionality they want (e.g. searchable)? What about accessibility/keyboard support concerns?

Well the comment was a little tounge in cheek, sorry :wink: Actually the main problem, most of the times, seems to be additional wishes for the look and feel.

I have a form that needs to: • auto-save on blur • run validations server-side and show errors client-side (but don't prevent saving) • dynamically add an arbitrary number of child forms • intersperse form fields with some other markup and display-only values that are not part of the form

What are people's thoughts on <https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/hecrj/composable-form/latest/> for this? I like its approach to building forms but my use-case departs significantly from its defaults. The package provides the ability to add custom fields and behavior although it looks like I may need to do some significant work to meet my needs.

Alternatively, I'm looking at just building my own form from scratch but I'm afraid I may end up duplicating a lot of the customization work I would have done with the package solution above so I'm questioning if it's worth it. Thoughts? :slightly_smiling_face:

I really liked playing around with composable-form in its default state, also with custom view functions. But building custom fields was really not that simple. iirc there are plans to improve the experience for that. The motivation to play around with the library was to possibly switch away from a different one. My current stand is to build my own form, pulling out functionality on the way.
2019-02-26T09:58:51.293100
Jin

The package is built to be extensible. My concern is around whether its worth doing the work to extend versus just rolling my own form since my use-case is so different than normal

I like to keep a request index on the model. Whenever I send a new search, I bump the index on the model and curry that new index onto the response Msg. It looks something like this: ``` Search query -&gt; ({ model | searchRequestIndex = model.searchRequestIndex + 1, , Api.Search query (SearchResults model.searchRequestIndex + 1) ) SearchResults requestIndex results -&gt; if requestIndex /= model.searchRequestIndex then (model, Cmd.none) else ( { model | results = results}, Cmd.none) ```

I have a built a EnhancedTextarea module that is basically a Html.textarea with some additional functionality. One of them is to do some special processing in Javascript when copying and pasting, for which purpose I have a `Json.Decode.Value -&gt; Cmd msg)` port for sending pasted data out to javascript and a `(Json.Decode.Value -&gt; msg) -&gt; Sub msg` port to get the processed data back. This is all great, except for when I have multiple `EnhancedTextarea`s on one page. After sending data out through the first port, I have no way of deciding which textarea was actually pasted into when the subscription is triggered. I don't want to mess with the Json.Decode.Value too much, because I have to run `event.clipboardData.getData("text/html")` on it on the javascript file (which it seems like I cannot do on the elm side).

You could extract the id of the target on the JS side, or use the tuple solution (which becomes an array on the JS side)

You can think of `Decode.map` as a way to apply some post-processing to the value decoded
2019-02-27T14:05:57.344600
Carman
elmlang
general
Or if you want to *only* decode `1` as a string: ``` <http://Decode.int|Decode.int> |&gt; Decode.andThen (\int -&gt; if int == 1 then Decode.succeed 1 else Decode.fail "wrong number" ) |&gt; Decode.map String.fromInt ```

Anyone here know of or have any opinions or company conventions on when to track the state of a page via the URL? It’s sort of along the lines of the problem domain of SPA’s &amp; SEO but more about linkability. I’m trying to put together an Elm talk for my company with a tongue in cheek title “Using Elm to solve all your problems” or “I got `undefined is not a function` problems but Elm ain’t one!” My coworker was interested if there was a convention for “tracking resource/object state” via the url so links would take you to the correct state in a SPA.
