Feature Request // Add OnHover Event (to update any view)

[benjaminweb]

Requirement: Update any view on onHover over specific element.

Web.View's hover does only apply to styles.

What would be the interface to call it? Another handler?

We try to put these actions as arguments to a view function (rather than a Mod), because the views carry the view id type: View viewId ()

For example, here is button

button :: HyperView id => Action id -> Mod -> View id () -> View id ()

Can you give me a specific example here so we can think about how best to solve it? Is there a "view" analogous to button that we could create to handle this? Or is it more like onLoad, which wraps views?

[benjaminweb]

contactView :: User -> View Contact ()
contactView u = do
  col (pad 10 . gap 10) $ do
    target Contacts $ hover (ShowUid u.id) $ do
      row fld $ do
      el id (text "First Name:")
      text u.firstName

button is an onClick event. hover then is just an onHover event. target maps it to the corresponding ViewId.

Though, the specific event types might be differentiated out a little more like Elm does like onMouseEnter or onMouseLeave.

Is that what you had in mind as an example? Does that help?
