Subscriptions (like Elm)?

[Twister915]

I was an avid Elm user, and I see that Yew is inspired by Elm. Curious why timers, which would be subscriptions in Elm, aren't handled in the same way by Yew?

More of a philosophical question than a practical one- I really liked that abstraction

You can have subscriptions in Yew. Take the timer example setting up an interval, which repeatedly sends an update message every second. The difference is that in a procedural language, it's easiest to represent this as an additional field on the component that you initialize during component creation instead of an additional special subscriptions fn on the Component trait.

Ah yeah that makes sense, thanks for pointing that out
