HTML elements with empty array of attributes and/or children

[laurentpayot]

Hi, thank you for this neat framework. I’m coming from Elm and I’m currently evaluating Flame to rewrite an Elm app in PureScript.

Is there a way to have HTML elements with an empty array of attributes and/or children?

• p [] […children…] must be replaced by p_ […children…]
• p […attributes…] [] must be replaced by p' […attributes…]
• p [] [] is impossible to obtain (am I wrong?)

For readability reasons I want to avoid the HE. prefix everywhere before my tags so I import my elements one by one, and having to import p, p', p_ etc. is redundant.

For the same readability reason I really wish we could use explicit empty arrays rather than one character suffixes that completely change the usage of the element. Is there a way to do that without monkey-patching Flame? If not then you can consider this issue as a feature request 😉

Cheers,
Laurent
