Rendering subitems of different types

[RubenVerborgh]

In the TodoMVC example, the app needs to know how todo items are rendered. This works in the case of TodoMVC, where all elements are uniform, but it is more complex if a list can contain items of different types.

What would be best practice to avoid the dependency of a parent on the type of its children?

@RubenVerborgh

Create a higher order render function, renderListContainer(renderItem, { ... })

[RubenVerborgh]

But that would then contain a switch statement or similar, right?

Would it make sense to somehow attach the render function to the state?

(I'm very new to mercury; my urge is to call item.render with a render defined on the prototype, but prototypes don't really apply.)

If it works then do it :D mercury has flexibility.

[RubenVerborgh]

Fair enough 😄

Make things a bit more messy than I'd like, but manageable.
