Init a task in a module + avoid circular import?

[pdamoc]

@Yannick971

The compiler complains because the initialCmd should be of type Cmd and not Model -> Cmd Msg in main:

I guess it should be:

main =
 Browser.element
        { init = \_ -> ( initialModel, initialCmd initialModel)

It is advisable to give functions as little data as possible so. Keep the functions small and with parameters as simple as possible.

So… instead of getTimestamps: Model -> Cmd Msg where you would extract some data from the mode, prefer getTimestamps: Int -> Cmd Msg.
