Elm 0.19

[arsduo]

I don't know how much has changed in the underlying core libraries and thus how large of a lift it will be to upgrade elm-semantic-dom to support Elm 0.19, but I'd be happy to help!

I've been using elm-modular-ui both at work and at home and really like it.

@arsduo -
I think a basic upgrade of elm-semantic-dom to be compatible with 0.19 is the first step to moving the Modular UI framework forward. If you'd like to get a start on this and submit a pull request, that's fine by me.

You can try running elm-upgrade and see how far that gets you. The README also recommends running elm-format with an upgrade option — I'm not sure what effect this will have because some of my code formatting is purposefully unconventional, which is why I have avoided elm-format thus far.

Note that using Dom as the base module name is no longer a problem because elm-lang/dom has been incorporated into elm/browser (which is a much better description for the functionality of that collection of modules!). I think this consolidated package is the biggest overall improvement to the 0.19 architecture, and I can now archive elm-semantic-effects.

Looking at your projects, I'm glad you've been able to extend Modular UI with elm-ui-drag-drop. I think some functionality like this could eventually be incorporated in the framework (it's more complex but analogous to the helpers for key press events in Ui.Action). If you have a working example that uses this package, I'd like to try it out.

Hi @danielnarey -- sorry about the late response! I had some other stuff come up and wasn't able to look into 0.19 earlier.

If you haven't started working on the upgrade yet (I don't see a branch), I have some time this afternoon and will see how far I can get with elm-upgrade. I'll try to avoid running elm-format if I can to avoid breaking your formatting and creating a ton of unnecessary changes.

I would be very glad to talk about what parts of elm-ui-drag-drop could be pulled into the framework! It was a fun challenge. I'm currently using it on two private projects (one personal, one at eSpark) and can pull out a working example in the next month (or figure out a way to get you access to one of the projects using it).

I started to do some planning here to consolidate parts of the Semantic Dom and Modular UI packages, but I haven't started working on the code yet. If you haven't started on the upgrade, maybe hold off for the moment, or submit a pull request for anything you have done. I should have time to get a dev branch started in the next couple days, and I think it will come together quickly from there.
