HTML Library

[bryanjos]

Something similar to how elm-html works. This should be a separate library.

[vans163]

seems like this should belong in ecosystem. :elixirscript_html or something.

[bryanjos]

That's the goal. I should make that more clear

[Harleymckee]

this include virtual dom implementation like https://github.com/elm-lang/virtual-dom ?

[bryanjos]

@Harleymckee yes that would mostly like be the most difficult part if something was built from scratch. Or a third-party library could be used.

Eh, or I could just port my bucklescript-tea VDom over.

[bryanjos]

@OvermindDL1 that would be awesome!

It is something that I'd been planning for a while of whenever I get time and ElixirScript finalizes it's API. ^.^

[bryanjos]

Cool! I think things will be pretty stable now. Just count on using Elixir's Standard Library and using the FFI where needed. There may be changes if or when processes are implemented, but those should be underlying.

[OvermindDL1]

Is the DOM already FFI'd as a set of interfaces yet? Or does that need to be manually FFI'd?

[bryanjos]

That needs to be manually FFI'd. I haven't made any and I don't think any exists in the eco system yet.

All fine, something else I can make too unless someone beats me to it. ^.^

Feel free to ping me on occasion to remind me, when my free time randomly pops up I tend to pick random things unless someone is pinging me about something. :-)

[bryanjos]

Will do

[bryanjos]

@OvermindDL1 do you know what DOM FFIs would be needed? I could create something in my free time for that

[OvermindDL1]

@bryanjos I'll probably port my bucklescript-tea VDom over (not verbatum, it has a pending redesign) and it exports from the DOM only what it has needed so far, and you can see all of those in the ml files that start with web at https://github.com/OvermindDL1/bucklescript-tea/tree/master/src if you want to get those brought over? That would then be the minimal necessary that I'd need. :-)
