Elm: how does Mailbox work? -

-

say create mailbox using mailbox = signal.mailbox action, type action = blah, later can send actions mailbox using signal.send mailbox.address blah, allows me listen on mailbox.signal, how so? mean, after all, type mailbox alias of {address : signal.address action, signal : signal.signal action}, because that, in elm, there 1 signal type, in above scenario, don't have tell elm bind mailbox.signal mailbox.address, elm figure out because of one-to-one correspondence between address , signal of type?

the ability mailbox put events send signal entirely based on "magic", is, it's implemented natively (in javascript) , not implement yourself. that's why it's built-in in standard libraries.

creating mailbox imperative, effectful action (shhh, don't tell anyone). if use:

mailbox1 = signal.mailbox blah mailbox2 = signal.mailbox blah

those 2 mailboxes distinct. send message mailbox2.address result in message on mailbox2.signal not mailbox1.signal. breaks referential transparency, bad, it's not breaking everything. (this may go far tangent, because need signal output , can't have signal (signal something), in practice unmanaged effect of mailbox creation not messing things up). "leak" fixed @ point in future. there proposal big changes staged in different versions of language.

javascript - Create websocket without connecting -

-
is there way create websocket without connecting right away? far think var ws = new websocket("ws://ws.my.url.com"); creates , connects right away. i'd create socket, define callbacks, , connect once user clicks connect button. thanks no. creating websocket means you've created connection server (or started process of connecting). there no such thing creating websocket isn't connecting yet. you create object store configuration parameters , tell object connect when wanted to, though i'm not sure why that's better creating actual websocket when connect made. or create function setup work , call function later when user clicks connect button.
