How do I get the current time in Elm?

by

Update for 0.19 It is not possible to get the current time using the standard library.. You need to use elm/time. As with 0.18, all you need is a command and Msg to handle the result

type Msg
    = OnTime Time.Posix 

getTime : Cmd Msg
getTime = 
    Task.perform OnTime Time.now

Update for 0.18 This has got simpler again. Now all you need is a command and Msg to handle the result

type Msg
    = OnTime Time 

getTime : Cmd Msg
getTime = 
    Task.perform OnTime Time.now

Original answer

With 0.17, this got a whole lot easier. There is now a Task in the Time library. So for example, we now have:

Time.now
|> Task.Perform NoOp CurrentTime
