The Pager API is exactly what one's need to fetch a list of Records.

However on time to time you wish to update the list, and it would be nice to be able to use the ETag to refresh the list without reloading the whole collection.

My understanding is that the Pager object is not far from being able to handle that.

Hi! I am new to elm.
I want to write an app for managing family budget in elm. I did that already using react native + firebase, and I am sad about where I get there. I need to sync data between devices.
This library looks right direction to go. Did any one thought already thought about implementing

• Offline first: every operation is performed locally into IndexedDB by default;
  part of kinto.js in this library?

I know that there is no solution to talk to storage apis of browser directly from elm as of now, and the recommended approach to use IndexedDB in elm app is ports.

I thought that there may be elm-kinto-offline fork, for now, that require to manually plug in some js to make it work. And may be in future, when elm will provide a way for data persistence ports can be replaced with it and elm-kinto-offline can become elm-kinto

I probably get that questions I am asking here are not directly target to solve my problem (write an app for managing family budget in elm) and solution for that is just use pouchDB / relay / kinto.js via ports. I am doing that because of desire to make contribution for elm ecosystem. But if spending time on topic above is useless, better to take a look for opportunity to contribute some other way.

Choose one form and use it everywhere, eg:

• filter, sort, limit
• withFilter, withSort, withLimit
• filterBy, sortBy, limitBy (this last one doesn't sound right)

In elm-kinto 6 we added the Pager, which makes it really hard to get started with elm-kinto especially for beginners.

I'd like to get back a simpler kinto client that doesn't need to worry about the Pager.

The same way that we have program and programWithFlags, we could have KintoClient and KintoClientWithPager.

We need to fix this :)

The current hack where we inject the stylesheet at runtime is not satisfying; we need to find a way to provide a custom HTML template to elm-reactor, or at least a way to tell the one it generates to use a custom stylesheet.

Reference Elm issue: elm-lang/elm-reactor#138 (some tricks are listed in the comments)

This might not be easy: pagination uses continuation token headers. Need to think about what the dream api would look like, and see how usable and feasible it is.

I have been reviewing Kinto as an alternative to Firebase + Elm. I also like Kinto being implemented in Python. Being also a Python programmer this give me the opportunity to do server side stuff if necessary. I miss that opportunity in Firebase.

What would definitely win me over is an example in Elm with notifications. For example, in the existing example. I open two browsers, I would create a record in browser A and this record would automatically show up in browser B. Also record updates would immediately be reflected in both browsers.

Thanks very much in advance for winning me over ;-)

As can be seen in the documentation, we have different casing for the different predicates. We have some uppercase ones (LT, GT, IN, NOT, LIKE, SINCE, BEFORE) and some title cased ones (Equal, Min, Max).

The headersForAuth for NoAuth returns a tuple of empty strings but an empty string is a invalid header name.

See http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/Kinto/elm-kinto/6.0.0 which still uses the old API sortBy instead of the new sort.
