Cannot find toString

I'm trying to use the Basics.toString function:

type Foo = Bar | Baz

main = text (toString Bar)

which, according to the Basics documentation, should be imported by default, but I'm getting a compile error:

I cannot find a `toString` variable:

13| main = text (toString Bar)

What am I missing?

Solution

  • Basics.toString was removed in version 0.19:

    You'll need to use one of Debug.toString, String.fromInt or String.fromFloat, depending on the type of Bar.
