Tame the frontend with Elm Jeremy Fairbank / @elpapapollo
Software is broken. We are here to fix it. Say
hello@testdouble.com
Happiness
None
✓ Easier to write code ✓ Easier to write tests
✓ Easier to refactor
elm
No runtime exceptions in practice.
No undefined is not a function
Fast
One framework. No fatigue. Update View Model Messages
elm
Functional
greet name = "Hello, " ++ name greet "Fluent Conf"
-- Hello, Fluent Conf
greet name = "Hello, " ++ name greet "Fluent Conf"
-- Hello, Fluent Conf
greet name = "Hello, " ++ name greet "Fluent Conf"
-- Hello, Fluent Conf
greet name = "Hello, " ++ name greet "Fluent Conf"
-- Hello, Fluent Conf Single Expression
greet name = "Hello, " ++ name greet "Fluent Conf"
-- Hello, Fluent Conf
greet name = "Hello, " ++ name greet "Fluent Conf"
-- Hello, Fluent Conf
Pure Data in Data out
Pure No side effects
Pure Predictable and Testable!
add x y = x + y add 2 3
== 5 add 2 3 == 5 add 2 3 == 5
add x y = x + y add 2 3
== 5 add 2 3 == 5 add 2 3 == 5
add x y = x + y add 2 3
== 5 add 2 3 == 5 add 2 3 == 5
Expressive Terse and declarative code
myList = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] double n =
n * 2 doubleNumbers list = List.map double list doubleNumbers myList -- [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
myList = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] double n =
n * 2 doubleNumbers list = List.map double list doubleNumbers myList -- [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
myList = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] double n =
n * 2 doubleNumbers list = List.map double list doubleNumbers myList -- [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
myList = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] double n =
n * 2 doubleNumbers list = List.map double list doubleNumbers myList -- [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
myList = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] double n =
n * 2 doubleNumbers list = List.map double list doubleNumbers myList -- [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
myList = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] double n =
n * 2 doubleNumbers list = List.map double list doubleNumbers myList -- [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
Curried Functions Building blocks
add x y = x + y add 1 2
-- 3 (add 1) 2 -- 3
add x y = x + y add 1 2
-- 3 (add 1) 2 -- 3
add x y = x + y add 1 2
-- 3 (add 1) 2 -- 3
add x y = x + y add 1 2
-- 3 (add 1) 2 -- 3 New function created
increment = add 1 increment 2 -- 3 increment 41
-- 42
increment = add 1 increment 2 -- 3 increment 41
-- 42
increment = add 1 increment 2 -- 3 increment 41
-- 42
Pipes Expressive Chaining
exclaim (greet (String.toUpper "Tucker")) greet name = "Hello, " ++
name exclaim phrase = phrase ++ "!"
"Tucker" |> String.toUpper |> greet |> exclaim
"Tucker" |> String.toUpper |> greet |> exclaim
|> String.toUpper "Tucker" |> greet |> exclaim
"TUCKER" |> greet |> exclaim
|> greet "TUCKER" |> exclaim
"Hello, TUCKER" |> exclaim
|> exclaim "Hello, TUCKER"
"Hello, TUCKER!"
No Runtime Exceptions
Strong Static Types life : Int life = 42 greeting

The argument to function `greet` is causing a mismatch. 11|
greet 42 ^^ Function `greet` is expecting the argument to be: String But it is: number Compile time static type checks
Immutable Data Safe and Consistent
dog : { name : String, age : Int }
dog = { name = "Tucker" , age = 11 } dog.name -- "Tucker" dog.age -- 11 Records

Custom Types Domain-specific code
type alias Dog = { name : String , age
: Int , breed : Breed } type Breed = Sheltie | Poodle
type alias Dog = { name : String , age
: Int , breed : Breed } type Breed = Sheltie | Poodle
type alias Dog = { name : String , age
: Int , breed : Breed } type Breed = Sheltie | Poodle Union Type
dog : Dog dog = { name = "Tucker" ,
age = 11 , breed = Sheltie }
dog : Dog dog = { name = "Tucker" ,
age = 11 , breed = Sheltie }
dog : Dog dog = { name = "Tucker" ,
age = 11 , breed = Sheltie }
No null or undefined
type Maybe a = Just a | Nothing
type Maybe a = Just a | Nothing Wraps the
successful value
type Maybe a = Just a | Nothing Represents no
result or missing value
type Maybe a = Just a | Nothing Type Variable
type Maybe a = Just a | Nothing Either I
have Just the value a, or I have Nothing.
divide : Float -> Float -> Maybe Float divide x
y = if y == 0 then Nothing else Just (x / y) divide 4 2 -- Just 2 divide 4 0 -- Nothing
divide : Float -> Float -> Maybe Float divide x
y = if y == 0 then Nothing else Just (x / y) divide 4 2 -- Just 2 divide 4 0 -- Nothing
divide : Float -> Float -> Maybe Float divide x
y = if y == 0 then Nothing else Just (x / y) divide 4 2 -- Just 2 divide 4 0 -- Nothing
divide : Float -> Float -> Maybe Float divide x
y = if y == 0 then Nothing else Just (x / y) divide 4 2 -- Just 2 divide 4 0 -- Nothing
divide : Float -> Float -> Maybe Float divide x

case divide 4 2 of Just n -> "Result is
" ++ (toString n) Nothing -> "No Result"
case divide 4 2 of Just n -> "Result is
" ++ (toString n) Nothing -> "No Result"
case divide 4 2 of Just n -> "Result is
" ++ (toString n) Nothing -> "No Result"
case divide 4 2 of Just n -> "Result is
" ++ (toString n) Nothing -> "No Result"
case divide 4 2 of Just n -> "Result is
" ++ (toString n) -- Nothing -> -- "No Result"
Exhaustive matching This `case` does not have branches for all
possibilities. 21|> case divide 4 2 of 22|> Just n -> 23|> "Result is " ++ (toString n) You need to account for the following values: Maybe.Nothing Add a branch to cover this pattern!
