Ah, right so a completely empty object for `app` is normal
2019-03-12T11:25:11.861000
Corinne
elmlang
general
If you never use any incoming port in your `subscriptions` function used in `main` nor any outgoing port in `init` or `update`, then `app.ports` will be undefined because the elm compiler will have optimized those away (as they are never called)

Mindy

Cool, thanks. I guess I was expecting _something_ to be in that object, or maybe a `[]` for `ports`, but I see now
2019-03-12T11:26:58.862700
Corinne
elmlang
general
Basically, `app` is just an object that may or may not have a `ports` field and `app.ports` is an object with one field per port called in the elm side. If it is an outgoing port, it will have access to a `subscribe` and an `unsubscribe` method. If it is an incoming port it will have a `send` method.

using `/` as the italic symbol in combination with `/` as division and `//` in url's isn't possible normally. Why is `/` the symbol for italic (thought it was a single `*`, or `_`)

is there any way to "namespace" a bunch of type constructors? I want to import a type `S` but have the type constructors accessed on `S`, e.g. `S.Value`.

If you constructors have generic names consider to add a suffix or prefix to them. E.g. `type BlendMode = MultiplyMode | OverlayMode | ... ` instead of generic `Multiply` or `Overlay`.

Broader question: Elm Parser mostly advertises itself as a replacement for regexps, rather than, say, for BNF-driven parser generators (e.g. yacc/bison.) Do people use it in the latter manner as well, or mostly hand-write parsing once the Parser has handled tokenization?
2019-03-12T12:58:37.886700
Dede

Update: I believe I’ve found a fast manual way to to this without Parser or Regexp. Will share if/when it works. (Very Fermat-esque statement.)
2019-03-12T14:20:42.886800
Leoma

parser combinators are usually used to parse straight into an AST, so no separate lexer/parser, thing. So yeah, elm/parser type parsers are definitely used as a replacement for BNF-driven parser generators

Settings and Profile seems like something which you get once at the very start. If that is the case it may be a good idea to postpone initialization of page/view which depends on these and only init it when you receive them. In this case you won't need `Maybe`s.
