So here is what I am doing:

in Account storage I have a connection state. The connection state could be either Disconnected, Connected and WrongNetwork. By defaults its set to Disconnected.
In the Main component I have a case statement:

 component Main {
  connect Account exposing { connection }

  fun render : Html {
    case(connection) {
      AccountState::Disconnected => <Loading />
      AccountState::WrongNetwork => <Loading />
      AccountState::Connected => 
        <div:>
          <Logo/>
        </div>
    }
  }
}

Then, in Loading component, I ask user to connect his crypto wallet. If the connected wallet is correct, then I update the connection state to Connected and it works fine in Main component. However, if I update the state to WrongNetwork it doesn't render the Loading component. I think the Mint compiler doesn't reload the Loadingcomponent.

@gdotdesign

Inside the Loading component, I show an error message depending on the Account.connection state.

Szikszai Gusztáv

@gdotdesign

hmm..., it should re-render the Main component when something in Account changes

Medet Ahmetson

@ahmetson

If I add Loading wrongNetwork={true} /> it re-renders. Even though, I am not using the wrongNetwork property.

Szikszai Gusztáv

@gdotdesign

If you put a Debug.log(connection) instead of connection in the case does the value differ?

Medet Ahmetson

@ahmetson

Let me check

Szikszai Gusztáv

@gdotdesign

The Loading component is connected to the Account store?

Medet Ahmetson

@ahmetson

No, Loading component is not.

Perfect, when I connected it, it worked like a charm.

So, Mint allows to call Storage without connecting to it.

@gdotdesign you have a knowledge of Mint. :)

Szikszai Gusztáv

@gdotdesign

Yeah, since I wrote the damn thing :smile:

Medet Ahmetson

@ahmetson

Yeah, it would be nice, to add some crypto related library into it. I am trying to write a single page webapp to interact with Crypto.

Szikszai Gusztáv

@gdotdesign

:+1:

Medet Ahmetson

@ahmetson

My company doesn't allow to publish the code due to privacy reason. But I will try to extract the part that works with Crypto, and make it open source. Hope some people will find it useful among Mint community. :)

Szikszai Gusztáv

@gdotdesign

That would be great! Let me know if you have any questions!

Medet Ahmetson

@ahmetson

@gdotdesign how to convert Number to Bool?

https://www.mint-lang.com/api/modules/Bool could not find any helpful helper function here.

Szikszai Gusztáv

@gdotdesign

module Number {
  fun toBool (number : Number) : Bool {
    case (number) {
      1 => true
      => false
    }
  }
}

I recall there being a way to tell mint to skip minifying CSS class names, but I can't find it in the docs.

I'm doing some testing & it would be handy to use some real (long) CSS class names. Is that doable?

Szikszai Gusztáv

@gdotdesign

Long CSS class names are not possible at the moment. How are you doing the testing?

I'm trying quickstrom (https://quickstrom.io/) which uses CSS selectors to query application state

One of my tests I wrote checks the behavior of a form, which becomes visible when you click on a button (and the button becomes invisible.)

I gave the button a class manually, so I can find it with "a.new-room" - but the class which hides or unhides the button is a dynamic mint class, which I used the DOM inspector to discover is called "r".

If I query for "a.new-room.r" then my query can find the CSS "display" property and check if the element is hidden, but if I just query for "a.new-room" that CSS property isn't present.

Perhaps this is a problem with the query system, or likely I'm using it wrong being very new to purescript and quickstrom

But I thought if I could put mint in a mode where it used a stable class name instead of a minified one, that might at least be less prone to breakage.

Szikszai Gusztáv

@gdotdesign

If you are adding a class manually I would use an attribute instead data-test="new-room" or accessibility attributes.

I switched to use data attributes and it's working great, nice suggestion. It would be cool to have a feature for testing that does this automatically, such that if I create a <div::name> it gives it a data-mint-class="name" attribute.

Do you have an example of running mint test using a webdriver instead of a local browser?

Szikszai Gusztáv

@gdotdesign

mint test doesn't use a webdriver

ryanprior

@ryanprior:matrix.org

[m]

Oh, how does it work then? I didn't find much detail about that.

I assumed it was starting a browser locally to remotely pilot it like a webdriver.

Szikszai Gusztáv

@gdotdesign

It is working like that but not using webdriver but instead a websocket connection, part of it is here: https://github.com/mint-lang/mint/blob/master/core/source/Test/Html.mint

Congrats on release 0.16, I'll try it out this weekend

Doesn't seem like mint got updated in Docker, maybe CI is broken? https://hub.docker.com/r/mintlang/mint/tags

The "latest" tag gives mint 0.15, which isn't even tagged on dockerhub:

$ docker run --rm -it mintlang/mint version
Mint 0.15.0-devel

Szikszai Gusztáv

@gdotdesign

Yes it is broken because we would need to pay for it, I applied to the open source version of it, we will see if it get it.

ryanprior

@ryanprior:matrix.org

[m]

You would need to pay to push to DockerHub?

Can you push to the GitHub registry instead?

(or in addition)

Szikszai Gusztáv

@gdotdesign

Oh, I didn't think of the Github registry, good idea.

How come the sandbox doesn't support Time.fromIso?
