An Example
I just read the following in the elm/time
docs:
I think the community should make some packages that define
fromIso8601 : String -> Maybe Time.Posix
in Elm.
Okay, great. So I searched:
General Questions
-
How are these sorted? Not by author name, package name, or version number AFAICT. By popularity (and if so, calculated how)? Randomly?
-
How do folks typically tackle the process of choosing which package best suits their needs? Picking amongst a half-dozen choices isnāt too daunting, I admit, but I worry that there is a nascent scalability problem here.
-
I note that two of these packages are clearly labeled as clones of
rtfeldman/elm-iso8601-date-strings
in order to make certain fixes available. I hadnāt encountered this before. Is this the way folks typically get around the problem of unmerged PRs? Again, I worry there is a nascent scalability problem here.
Interested to hear everyoneās thoughts ā thanks!
