Generate an Elm module for saving and loading data to an external key-value data source.
For guidance on how to wire the generated code to work with JavaScript through ports, take a look at the examples in the package Github repo.
Create a new store. You can pass this to the generate function to generate
code with elm-codegen.
Adds support for generating encoding and decoding for Dict values. Any key in the
Json.Decode.Value passed to the generate function ending in a _ character
will have its value recognize as a Dict.
For example, when a Store that has this option enabled is run on some JSON with the following shape:
{ "people_" :
{
name : "",
age : 0
}
}The generated code will treat that as a Dict String { name : String, age: Int } rather than
{ name : String, age: Int }, which would be the default behavior.
Generates an Elm file from a passed Store (which you can create with the init
function) and some JSON (as a Json.Decode.Value).
If the passed Json cannot be decoded, the generated code will be for managing arbitrary key value pairs with the store. No decoding or encoding will be generated. While this may still be useful, it's less useful than getting all your serialization for free!
The generated code has its behavior documented. If you'd like to understand how your store is working internally, generate some code and read the comments!
Represents information about and configuration of the store you want to create. This type does not have its constructor exposed and must be created using the
initfunction.
