elm-spa-example VS TypeScript

About 7 years ago, in the midst of writing Elm in Action, Richard Feldman developed rtfeldman/elm-spa-example, wrote Tour of an Open-Source Elm SPA and graciously shared both of them with the Elm community. The community's response was overwhelmingly positive and it was clear that he had addressed a major need. If you were one of the many web application developers asking "Where can I find an open-source example of an Elm Single Page Application?", then, the Elm SPA Example instantly became the canonical example that everyone was going to point you towards. This was a landmark achievement in the history of Elm.

One accidentally nice thing about that book is the elm version is still the same, so everything is still relevant. As for the SPA, I think the book had to keep things simple, but you'd probably want to look into the author's elm-spa-example next, there's a talk on youtube that goes along with that and he also also a related course on frontend maters worth exploring.

I'm following along with the update behavior of https://github.com/rtfeldman/elm-spa-example/blob/master/src/Main.elm. But I'm not sure how I propagate a message from Main.elm to User.elm to Table.elm (or deeper). How do you manage Msg passing like this?

I am building my first Elm app just following the docs from the official web site. I don't see any direct mention of styling there. Looking around, I see the elm-ui project is one, elm-css is another approach, and the example SPA that Richard Feldman made just uses a stylesheet from Bootstrap, i.e., just plain CSS. If it exists, what's the canonical way of styling an app?

A good example of this is the Elm-SPA example from Feldman: the Main.elm file is basically just glue code for the rest of the project (https://github.com/rtfeldman/elm-spa-example/blob/master/src/Main.elm).

After all that I've managed to reach my goal of being able to run Richard Feldman's Elm SPA Example in my system! 😃 Here's a working implementation compiled to WebAssembly. And for comparison, you can also check out the same code compiled to JavaScript. (Unfortunately the publicly available APIs don't seem to be returning very much data at the moment but there's not much I can do about that!)

Looking at the Real World application I could see that there were better ways to structure my modules using nested TEAs and keeping the Main module as a hub for everything in the app.

If you want to see Elm code, you might look for example projects on GitHub. (https://github.com/rtfeldman/elm-spa-example comes to mind.)

https://github.com/rtfeldman/elm-spa-example is a good example app. I'd also recommend https://codebase.show/projects/realworld in general if you're looking for example apps in various frameworks and languages. I sadly can't share anything from work as it's all private.

- How to properly structure the project. I differentiate between my core utils and the actual gui. Iced states in the documentation that it's inspired by the Elm architecture. So naturally I've read a little bit about the proposed Elm project structure. So I basically end in a structure like this spa example directory recommended by the Elm communicty: Repo

Regular expressions are part of the language, so it's not so unreasonable that TypeScript should parse them and take their semantics into account. Indeed, TypeScript 5.5 will include [new support for syntax checking of regular expressions](https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/pull/55600), and presumably they'll eventually be able to solve the problem the GP highlighted on top of those foundations.

Dedicated syntax for creating unique subsets of a type that denote a particular refinement is a longstanding ask[2] - and very useful, we've experimented with implementations.[3]

I don't think it has any relation to runtime type checking at all. It's refinement types, [4] or newtypes[5] depending on the details and how you shape it.

Learning Curve and Developer Tooling sCrypt is an embedded Domain Specific Language (eDSL) based on TypeScript. It is strictly a subset of TypeScript, so all sCrypt code is valid TypeScript. TypeScript is chosen as the host language because it provides an easy, familiar language (JavaScript), but with type safety. There’s an abundance of learning materials available for TypeScript and thus sCrypt, including online tutorials, courses, documentation, and community support. This makes it relatively easy for beginners to start learning. It also has a vast ecosystem with numerous libraries and frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue) that can simplify development and integration with Web2 applications.

As a JavaScript or TypeScript developer, you might have come across the terms type and interface when working with complex data structures or defining custom types. While both serve similar purposes, they have distinct characteristics that influence when to use them. In this blog post, we'll delve into the differences between types and interfaces in TypeScript, providing examples to aid your understanding.

TypeScript helps you in many ways in the context of a JavaScript app. It makes it easier to consume interfaces of any type.

In this guide, we'll be extracting information from Amazon product pages using the power of TypeScript in combination with the Cheerio and Crawlee libraries. We'll explore how to retrieve and extract detailed product data such as titles, prices, image URLs, and more from Amazon's vast marketplace. We'll also discuss handling potential blocking issues that may arise during the scraping process.
