loopState :: forall s a m. Monad m => s -> (s -> m (Either s a)) -> m a

A very useful combinator for widgets with localised state

tea :: forall x m s a. Monad m => s -> (s -> m a) -> (a -> s -> s) -> m x

The Elm Architecture

remoteWidget :: forall void a n m. MonadEffect n => MonadAff m => MonadEffect m => Plus m => m a -> n (Tuple (m a) (m void))

Separate the effect of the widget from its result

forkAction :: forall b a m. MonadEffect m => MonadAff m => Plus m => m a -> (m a -> m b) -> m b

A common pattern - running a long running action and keeping the GUI responsive Because the action can't be restarted on every gui event, we must fork it off in the beginning

forkActionState :: forall s m. Plus m => MonadAff m => m (s -> s) -> (s -> m s) -> (s -> m s)

Another common variant on the forkAction pattern. The action m (s->s) may take a while (should not be restarted) and returns a state modification function The gui s -> m s takes in the current state, and modifies it on events Note that forkActionState axn has the shape (s -> m s) -> (s -> m s). So it can be "stacked" to fork multiple actions. e.g. forkActionState axn1 $ forkActionState axn2 $ forkActionState axn3 $ render initialState.
