Time in Elm
This Elm code demonstrates various operations with time, similar to the original example. Here’s a breakdown of the main differences and adaptations:
Elm uses
Time.Posix
to represent time, which is similar to thetime.Time
in the original example.Instead of creating a time with specific components, we use
Time.millisToPosix
to create a custom time from milliseconds since the Unix epoch.Elm separates the time value (
Time.Posix
) from the time zone (Time.Zone
). Most functions that extract components from a time require both the time and the zone.The
extractComponents
function demonstrates how to get various components of a time value in Elm.Elm doesn’t have built-in functions for comparing times directly. We create a
compareTime
function that compares the underlying millisecond values.Instead of a
Duration
type, we work with milliseconds as integers for time differences and advancements.Elm doesn’t have a direct equivalent to Go’s
Add
method for times. We create anadvanceTime
function that adds a duration in milliseconds to a time.The
main
function is included to make this a valid Elm program, but it doesn’t perform any operations. In a real application, you would use these functions within your update and view logic.
Note that Elm is a functional language and doesn’t have side effects in the same way as Go. Operations that would print to the console in the Go example would typically be part of the Model in Elm and would be rendered in the View.
