Welcome to my second post in my Learning Elm series. In this post, I will share my experiences working with JSON in Elm. In this post, I convert my static navigation bar into a bar that is populated with conspiracy categories retrieved from the server. Once the navigation is updated, I’ll walk you through fetching the conspiracy summaries that belong to the category chosen by the user. By the end of this post, you’ll have an understanding of how to make HTTP calls and how to decode JSON. Read more
