I can not find the module 'Graphics.Element'

I'm trying to play a little with Knit (0.17). But I can not run this simple example:

import Graphics.Element exposing (..) main = show "Hello!"

When starting elm reactor , the following error is displayed:

I can not find the module "Graphics.Element".

The 'Main' module is trying to import it.

Possible problems may be:

  • Fixed module name
  • You must add the source directory or a new dependency in elm-package.json

I executed the elm package install evancz/elm-graphics and it was executed successfully. I also see this when opening localhost: 8000 under the Dependencies sidebar.

When looking at other examples, they do the import in the same way.

What could cause the problem?

In version 0.17, the module name changed to Element , and now you will need to convert the graphic elements to Html. Try changing the code to the following:

 import Element exposing (..) main = toHtml <| show "Hello!"

source share

According to the current elm-lang.org/examples hello-html is now written as

 import Html exposing (text) main = text "Hello!"

source share
