Monoid instance for Html a

[iclanzan]

Is it possible to give Html a a Monoid instance like React.Basic is doing for JSX?

Hello @iclanzan , I am afraid I don't know what React.Basic uses monoids for. Is it a list like instance?

JSX is a Monoid:

• append Merge two JSX nodes using React.Fragment.
• mempty The empty node; renders nothing.

Hint: Many useful utility functions already exist for Monoids. For example, guard can be used to conditionally render a subtree of components.

I suppose this could be done. Though flame doesn't really have an equivalent to empty right now.

I wonder if mempty = fragment [] would work.

document.createFragment is currently used for fragments. I think it could work if treated as a special case.
