This page covers Tutorial v2. Elm 0.18.

Models

We want to store the response from the server in the models instead of the hardcoded list of players we have now. In src/Models.elm, include a new import and change the type of players:

...

import RemoteData exposing (WebData)


type alias Model =
    { players : WebData (List Player)
    }


initialModel : Model
initialModel =
    { players = RemoteData.Loading
    }


...

• We changed the type of players from List Player to WebData (List Player). This type WebData will contain the list of players when we get a successful response from the API.
• Our initial players attribute will be RemoteData.Loading, as it says this indicates that the resource is loading.
