Initial command obliterates previous state #18
Description
On start up, my app randomizes its state as part of its init command:
main =
let
startupCmd =
Random.generate NewModel modelGenerator
in
Html.program
{ init = ( emptyModel, startupCmd )
, update = update
, view = view
, subscriptions = subscriptions
}
The problem here is that its NewModel message ticks after the app's previous state is injected.
Is this something that can be worked around by elm-hot-reload? If not, what about a way to signal to the app that it has been hot reloaded? That way I could simply not issue the startup command in those cases. e.g. :
main =
let
startupCmd =
Random.generate NewModel modelGenerator
init flags =
if flags.hotSwapped then
( emptyModel, Cmd.none )
else
( emptyModel, startupCmd )
in
Html.programWithFlags
{ init = init
, update = update startupCmd discoCmd
, view = view
, subscriptions = subscriptions
}
