ELM @SEBASPORTO
LOOKING FOR BETTER WAYS JQUERY CANJS ANGULAR REACT ELM?
ELM? ‣FRP (functional reactive programming) language * ‣Statically typed ‣Compiles
to JS
TRENDS IN FRONT END
DESCRIBE INSTEAD OF MUTATING THE DOM ▸ Complex interactions are
easy ▸ Speed
DESCRIBE STATE 1 2 3 1 2 3 focus on
the state not the changes jquery react
DESCRIBE STATE ▸ Complex interactions are easy ▸ Easier to
model
UNIDIRECTIONAL DATA FLOWS ▸ Easier to understand ▸ Less complexity
FLUX View Dispatcher A c tion (E vent) Store Action
(Event) C hange
IMMUTABLE DATA ▸ Confidence ▸ No side effects ▸ Dirty
objects ▸ Undo
▸ Seamless-immutable ▸ Immutable.js Mediocre solutions, JS will fight you
all they way IMMUTABLE DATA in JS
DESCRIBE TRANSFORMATIONS IN APP DATA INSTEAD OF TRANSFORMING ▸ Easier
to test ▸ Easier to compose ▸ Redux
PURE VIEWS aka STATELESS VIEWS
STATELESS VIEWS Same params Same Output View
STATELESS VIEWS ▸ Simpler to understand ▸ Easier to test
▸ No side effects
ALL STATE IN ONE PLACE
STATE IN ON PLACE Component Component Component Component Component Component
State
ALL STATE IN ONE PLACE ▸ State consistency between views
▸ Undo ▸ Serialise / unserialise ▸ Easier to debug
THERE HAPPENS TO BE A LANGUAGE THAT EMBRACES ALL THESE
ELM ▸ Immutable ▸ One state tree ▸ Stateless views
▸ Describe transformations ▸ Unidirectional data flow
ML BASED (LIKE HASKELL) sum: Int -> Int -> Int
sum a b = a + b
PROGRAMMING IN ELM
SIGNALS Mouse move 24, 30 26, 32 28, 30 ....
Constant flow of events
SIGNALS Mouse click Key press Merged signal
SIGNALS They come from everywhere - Clicks - Keyboard -
Hash changes - Ajax request
TASKS Async ops, like promises Create Task Task finishes Create
signal with result Run Task
KEEPING STATE - THE FUNCTIONAL WAY Initial state FoldP Update
Signal with event Signal with updated model like reduce
THE ELM ARCHITECTURE Signal (event) mailbox Signal View FoldP Update
Updated model
DEMO
WHAT ELSE?
WHAT IF WE HAD ALMOST NO ERRORS?
JAVASCRIPT IS FAMOUS FOR UNHELPFUL ERRORS UNDEFINED IS NOT A
FUNCTION
ELM 7| text (toString List.lenght things) `List` does not expose
`lenght`. Maybe you want one of the following? List.length
WHAT IF WE HAD NO NULLS?
JAVASCRIPT var array = [] var res = array[0] *
2 NaN
RUBY undefined method '*' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) RUST panicked at
'index out of bounds: the len is 1 but the index is 1' ELIXIR (ArithmeticError) bad argument in arithmetic expression GO panic: runtime error: index out of range https://gist.github.com/sporto/77db9de59f559e67b006
ELM list = [] first = List.head list res =
first * 2 main = text (toString res) This won't compile
ELM list = [] first = withDefault 1 (List.head list)
res = first * 2 main = text (toString res)
FLOW & TYPESCRIPT ARE GREAT BUT NOT AT THE SAME
S Still plenty of error that can slip through
ELM == VERY RARE TO GET RUNTIME ERRORS
GREAT, TERSE SYNTAX
PIPE OPERATOR _.(collection) .filter(filterFn) .map(mapFn) .value() collection |> filter filterFn
|> map mapFn JS ELM
CONTROLLED SIDE EFFECTS
IN JS SIDE EFFECTS CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE ▸ Impossible to
know what side effects this have without looking ▸ Mutation, sending ajax? ▸ Makes really hard to find bugs sort(collection)
IN ELM IS OBVIOUS sort: List String -> List String
update: Action -> Model -> Effects Action
OTHER NICE THINGS ▸ Time travel debugger ▸ Enforces Semantic
versioning
IN PRACTICE
▸ Automatic compilation ▸ But doesn't play well with external
JS ELM REACTOR
ELM MAKE ▸ Compile on demand - really fast ▸
Plays nicely with existing JS App (Embedded)
USING ELM ▸ Send and receive messages to JS PORTS
JS ELM ports
NOT SO GREAT
JSON ENCODING / DECODING ▸ Bit awkward (as with any
static language really) STRUCTURING AN APP ▸ Just different, takes time to understand FEW LIBRARIES ▸ Small ecosystem e.g. router, date picker, etc
WHAT I LOVE ▸Immutable data ▸Static types (Great refactoring) ▸Safety
- No nils
WHAT I LOVE ▸Terse syntax ▸All the best practices ▸Decent
learning curve
