elm-html-convert

This is a hack ported from elm-test that allows converting Html msg to Value and String.

WARNING: I didn't test this package yet.

Post-processing

This library requires post-processing, expanded-elm can automize that for you.

where:

var $kress95$elm_html_convert$Html$Convert$toValue = function (_v0) {
	return $elm$json$Json$Encode$string('You thought it was a JSON value, but it was me, Dio!');
};

replace with:

/*

import Elm.Kernel.Json exposing (wrap)

*/

// NOTE: this is duplicating constants also defined in Test.Internal.KernelConstants
//       so if you make any changes here, be sure to synchronize them there!
