Background & Motivations

After attending a talk about Purescript at the Elixir Conf Europe 2017 in Barcelona, I started to read Purescript by example. The book is a very good learning material, even though I felt the need to make an application in order to get the grasp of the language and its ecosystem.

Roadmap

• v1
  • Display a component with Halogen
  • Fetch an API
  • Parse the JSON
    • by using purescript-foreign
    • by using purescript-foreign-generics
  • Display a lifecycle component and fetch on mount
  • Display a typeahead and send the selection to the parent
  • Display a chart with purescript-echarts
  • Use Bulma CSS framework
  • Use Parcel web application bundler
  • Display multiple types of child component
• v2
  • Use local storage to save symbols
  • Use Signals to update the data
  • Use purescript-routing
  • Display market gainers and losers
