Phoenix with Elm - part 12

Since the last post we have seen updates to both Elixir and Phoenix. Furthermore, as of Phoenix version 1.1.2, the version of Brunch that is used has been upgrade to ^2.1.1. This means that we will end up upgrading Brunch to version 2.1.3 or later, which affects the elm-brunch package that we use to build our Elm project.

Phoenix with Elm - part 5

So far Elm has been happily inferring the types that we are using in our application, and it will continue to do so. However let's take a moment to look at how we can make it more obvious to others who might read our code what types we are expecting.
