SubmitUser Msg is never called and I can't quite figure out how to set it as the submit action

[tolgap]

In Elm 0.16, you'd write this code in the submit event of a button for a form:

let
  submitClick =
    case Form.getOutput form of
      Just user ->
        onClick address (SubmitUser user)
      Nothing ->
        onClick formAddress Form.Submit

So you can call the SubmitUser message to your application once your form has actual output without validation errors.

In 0.17, all Html types now have an Msg attributed to them. This causes the above case statement in the let binding to produce two different types, because one produces Html MyApp.Msg and the other Html Form.Msg.

I noticed the example app in tag 3.0.0 does not even use SubmitUser. But now, I'm trying to update my own app, and I run into this issue.

How would I port that let binding I posted above to 0.17?

Hello,
Yes I should update example to show how to do that. Meanwhile, see this issue: https://github.com/etaque/elm-simple-form/issues/15

You can pattern match on Form action and Form.targetValue, if you got Submit and Just ... then you can proceed form result, or else call Form.update as before.

Does it make sense?

Hi @etaque , that makes sense. Didn't realize issue 15 was for this matter (couldn't make it up from the title). Thanks for the response!
