In Elm we do not have to worry about declaring variables, data is immutable and it infires the type.

Functions:

squarer number  = number * number -- <function> : number -> number
squarer 10  -- 100

stringAdd s1 s2 = s1 ++ " " ++ s2
stringAdder = stringAdd "Hey"
strinngAdder "there!"  -- "Hey there"

numAdder n1 n2 = n1 + n2
numAdder2 n1 n2 = n1 + n2
numAdder 10 (numAdder2 5 5)  -- 20

10 \
  |> squarer  -- 10, multiline pass arguments
  
["Adam", "Molly", "Zeke", "Jane"] \
|> List.sort \
|> String.join ", " -- Adam, Jane, Molly, Zeke

checkTheAnser = anser = |
  if answer > 42 then \
    "Greater than 42" \
  else if answer == 42 then \
    "Answer is 42" \
  else \
    "Under 42" -- <function> number -> String

(True, 42, "Bob")
[(Bool, 100), (True, 200)] -- These tuples have to have the same types inside

Records

bob = { name = "Bob", age = 30 }
bob.name -- Bob
.age bob -- 30 , is like calling a function into bob
bob2 = { bob | age = 31 } -- { name = "Bob", age = 31 }

user1 = {id = 1, name ="bob" }
user2 = {name = "jane" } -- We forgot id

type alias User = {id : Int, name : String }
user1 = User 1 "bob"
user2 = User 2 "jane"

userChecker { id } = \
  if id > 1 then \
    "Greater than 1"
  else \
    "Is the first one"
userChecker user2  -- Greater than 1

Modules (file Hello.elm):

module Hello exposing (..)  -- exposes everything inside the module

import Html exposing (text)  -- we take text from Html

main = 
  text "Hello world"

Creating html

module HelloHtml exposing (..)

import Html exposing (text, div, h1)  -- we take text, div, h1 from Html
import Html.Attributes expossing (class)

main : Html msg                               -- specifies the type (avoid warnings)
main = 
  div [ class "main-div" ] [                  -- class div with attributes and childs 
    h1 [ class "title"] [text "Welcome"]
    , p[] [text "I'm liking this"]
    , p[] [text "lets try"]
  ]

To install packages:

elm install elm-lang/html

To compile a module (we can send –warn):

elm build src/Main.elm

• https://guide.elm-lang.org/core_language.html

To declare a function (type anotation) that gets a number and returns an string:

checkStatus : Int -> String

If you write “checkStatus” it will return <function> : Int -> String.

It is something like this:

<function: add> : Int      -> Int      -> Int
| function name | type arg1 | type arg2 | type result |

Now lets define it:

checkStatus status =
    if status == 200 then
        "You got it, dude!"
    else if status == 404 then
        "Page not found"
    else
        "Unknown response"

import Html exposing (..)


checkStatus : Int -> String
checkStatus status =
    if status == 200 then
        "You got it, dude!"
    else if status == 404 then
        "Page not found"
    else
        "Unknown response"


statusChecks : List String
statusChecks =
    [ checkStatus 200
    , checkStatus 404
    , checkStatus 418
    ]


renderList : List String -> Html msg
renderList lst =
    lst
        |> List.map createLi
        |> ul []


createLi : String -> Html msg
createLi str =
    li [] [ text str ]


main =
    div []
        [ h1 [] [ text "List of statuses:" ]
        , renderList statusChecks
        ]
