• Layout
  • Grid
  • Input
• Websockets

This is work-in-progress

Structure

This app presents a generic application architecture which can be adopted for all smaller applications. First, what constitutes a little application?

• Small model: The application state should be representable in a little set of types. Thumb rule: They should all fit in one file such that the reader of the code can get an overview.
• Small number of messages: They should all fit en one file.
• Only one logical component in the application.

The structure is as follows:

• Layout.elm
• Main.elm
• Model.elm
• Msg.elm
• Subscriptions.elm
• Update.elm
• Views folder containing all views. A view is responsible for firing Msg's and/or translating the model into HTML.
