I just finished updating my application from 0.18 and 0.19, but using `--optimize` only gets the compiled file from 1.2MB to 1.1MB. I guess I was expecting more. Could I be doing something wrong?

<@Fred> `--optimize` doesn't minify but it does have an output that is easier to minify <https://guide.elm-lang.org/optimization/asset_size.html#instructions> provides the best command for minifying

Happy new year all. I'm wondering why in the Elm docs, it is so discouraged to write effect manager helpers? If I knew why it was discouraged, it might give me an idea for how to implement some kind of alternative. <https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm/core/latest/Platform>
2018-12-31T07:56:50.390600
Santina

I don't think you even CAN write an effect manager since 0.19
2018-12-31T08:02:58.392100

It seems possible given the documentation,
2018-12-31T08:03:09.392300

unless the documentation is outdated

As to why - we loose all guarantees that elm gives us when we just wrap js code
2018-12-31T08:04:50.392900
Mirian

If you need to access some js library ports are the way to go
2018-12-31T08:06:49.393100
Mirian
elmlang

effect managers are not necessarily using JS code though. The main problem with them is that they store state outside of the model. This does indeed break the nice guarantees that elm otherwise provides. They are also discouraged because they are the "easy" solution, thinking about the problem harder in an elm context likely gives a better solution

I'm trying to write a shrinker (elm-explorations/test v1.2.0) for my own data structure but fail to import module 'Lazy.List' ("I cannot find that module!"). Importing module 'Shrink' works without problems. Any ideas?
2018-12-31T08:44:20.395900
Lavonna
elmlang

looks like it is not exported. Do you need anything besides the type signature? (also try <#C0CLGCMMF|testing> )
2018-12-31T08:48:21.396500
Virgie
elmlang
general
Where do you get the info from that it is not exported? (-&gt;Where should I look to find this out myself?) I thought I need it because the 'Shrink' doc (<https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm-explorations/test/1.2.0/Shrink>) says a shrinker should produce a lazy list and I had a look at the provided implementations. Can I produce any kind of lazy list (maybe from other packages)?
2018-12-31T09:04:59.400100
Lavonna
elmlang
general
ah . . . "elm.json" in the package source contains the info, what modules are exposed
2018-12-31T09:08:11.400900
Lavonna
elmlang
general
in the docs <https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm-explorations/test/latest/Shrink#lazylist> exposed types are blue/clickable. `LazyList` isn't
2018-12-31T09:17:43.401400
Virgie
elmlang

not true - for example `Shrinker` is exposed but not blue/clickable
2018-12-31T09:19:44.401500

Hmm, that did work before. Might be dropped in 0.19
2018-12-31T09:26:16.401700

also it does work for `elm/core` <https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm/core/latest/String>
2018-12-31T09:26:41.401900
Virgie

maybe it only works for types and not aliases?

2018-12-31T09:32:48.402400

they are something used in the implementation of subscriptions and commands, for instance the browser package uses them for keyboard and mouse events <https://github.com/elm/browser/blob/1.0.1/src/Browser/Events.elm#L246>
2018-12-31T09:47:22.402700
Virgie
elmlang

but, like native code, they break guarantees and thus can only be used by the core team in specific packages
2018-12-31T09:47:50.402900
Virgie

thx - wasn't aware that the links correspond to the exposed types
2018-12-31T10:01:00.403100
Lavonna
elmlang
general
Although in my special case (at most one possibility ever) I would conceptually get away with a regular list, the compiler insists on a 'Lazy.List.LazyList' . . . is there a more elegant way to solve this, than to replicate/copy the corresponding non-exposed code from 'elm-explorations/test'?
2018-12-31T10:37:38.406000
Lavonna
elmlang

really depends on the specifics I think. The folks in <#C0CLGCMMF|testing> will know more (also sharing the specifics might help)

Is there any reason why you cannot use `Html.Attributes.property` (or `VirtualDom.property`) to set an element's `innerHTML` value in 0.19?

`innerHtml` is specifically forbidden in source: VirtualDom.elm - <https://github.com/elm/virtual-dom/blob/5a5bcf48720bc7d53461b3cd42a9f19f119c5503/src/VirtualDom.elm#L167> kernel code - <https://github.com/elm/virtual-dom/blob/5a5bcf48720bc7d53461b3cd42a9f19f119c5503/src/Elm/Kernel/VirtualDom.js#L289>

you can use Elm unicode escapes, for example `"\u{00A0}"` for non-breaking space (but granted this isn't as simple as using html escapes)

I am looking at the documentation for Random (<https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm/random/latest/Random>); and see that the signature for `generate` is `generate : (a -&gt; msg) -&gt; Generator a -&gt; Cmd msg`; is there a name for the (a -&gt; msg) part?

it is often a (partially applied) constructor of your `Msg` type
2019-01-02T17:22:59.456700
Virgie
elmlang
general
so if `Msg = Thing1 Int Int | Thing2 String` then `Thing1 42` and `Thing2` are both values of type `something -&gt; Msg`
2019-01-02T17:23:49.457600
Virgie

and `Thing1` and `Thing2` are the constructors of `Msg`
2019-01-02T17:24:00.457900

Ah, ok, thanks! Constructor makes sense. This makes the signature of the function I am working on look like: ``` generatePassword : (String -&gt; Msg) -&gt; Cmd Msg generatePassword msgConstructor = ```
