expressions possible. For example having a compound page with several different posts in it, expressed in the url. This language gives control to the user to express exactly what content they want combined and how. This power is often under estimated. The scenarios are too many to mention.
For example? What's an example of a compound page, expressed in the url?
In short - the url DSLs this package makes easy to create makes gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. You have a beer or a drink of your choice, or chocolate, on me if we meet somewhere.
Haha, I'm glad I'm incuding warm fuzzy feelings.
And a question:
data Event = Event { eventId :: Maybe Integer -- ^ The event id. , eventScope :: Bool -- ^ Show the scope? , eventLayout :: Layout -- ^ Layout for the page. , eventRec :: Rec } deriving (Data,Typeable,Show)
data Rec = Rec { one :: Int, two :: Int } deriving (Data,Typeable,Show)
Would it be possible to express the above in a URL? I understand that at the moment it is not, but what are your thoughts on how far it would be reasonable to push the encoding.
How would you expect that to be represented? I thought a little about it… it seems like if it was
data Rec = Rec { one :: Int, two :: Int } deriving (Data,Typeable,Show)
Then you could represent it as /event/id/1/one/a/two/b or /event/id/1/rec-one/a/rec-two/b The former could be a problem as it may lead to ambiguities, unless you decided that sub-types' fields would have precedence?
