Elm 0.19 - No more Native support #77
Comments
I sent a message to Evan and Luke asking if Elm-Canvas could move to Elm-Explorations. They just didnt reply. I've also asked about how I can do my Elm-Canvas projects with ports or web components, and I got a few answers, but none that really seemed like a better alternative to Elm-Canvas. I've poked around in the Elm compiler, and built it locally. I'm sure theres a way to hack the Elm compiler and make a build that enables kernel code. That sounds like a really horrible option, but I dont see another way so long as Elm-Canvas remains the best way to do what I need to do. Thanks for offering to help. If you want you could message Evan or Luke or another Elm higher-up about it yourself (maybe in a week when the commotion of 0.19 dies down). I think more voices means the more likely they are to take the idea seriously, and you wouldnt be the first person to mention the idea of Elm-Canvas joining Elm-Explorations either. |
Any chance of this happening after it has been five years? I'm questioning whether it's better to create a web component to edit pixels on a canvas at this point -- but something about requiring js interop for something like this strikes me as wrong |
No I don't think this repo is going anywhere. Sorry. Thanks for following up. In the last 5 years I have done some canvas stuff through ports and it seemed to work fine. I recall writing a JS module called a Also, in the last 5 years, Joakin came out with his own Whether a But my use case was pretty unusual. If you are trying to draw something artistic, or a finite list of shapes, it seems like Joakin's Elm canvas would work well. |
Since 0.19 the ability to freely use native modules has been removed.
Apparently projects in Elm Explorations are allowed to use native code.
My question is: Is there a plan to move this canvas project to elm explorations?
At the moment I use elm-canvas as the render for my little pixel game and I need to know if I should change to webgl or if there is a future in the library.
Maybe there is a way for me to help?
