This module defines a higher-level abstraction on top of channels, called signal loops. A signal loop is a function which produces a signal, given partial information about its own future values.

#Emitter Source

type Emitter eff a = (a -> Eff eff Unit) -> Eff eff Unit

An Emitter is a function which renders a state and emits new values onto a Channel. For example:

  • a function which renders a HTML document and emits generated DOM events.
  • a function which prints some text and emits console input.

#Loop Source

type Loop eff a = Signal a -> Signal (Emitter eff a)

A loop is a function from a future input signal to an Emitter of values of the same input type.

#runLoop Source

runLoop :: forall a eff. a -> Loop (channel :: CHANNEL | eff) a -> Eff (channel :: CHANNEL | eff) (Signal a)

Run a loop, given an initial value. The effects of the Emitters are run inside of Eff. The initial value and the emitted values are provided by the Signal in this Eff's return value. If you aren't using these values outside of your Emitters then you don’t need to use this Signal.
