# Component model
The component model of the library is simply the Elm Architecture, e.g.,
each component has Model, Action, view, and update. A minimal example using
this library in plain Elm Architecture can be found

{-| Generic MDL Action.
{-| Similarly to how embeddings enable collecting models of different type
in a single model container, we need to collect actions in a single "master
action" type. Obviously, actions need to be eventually executed by running
the corresponding update function. To avoid this master action type explicitly
representing the Action/update pairs of elm-mdl components, we represent an
action of an individual component as a partially applied update function; that
is, a function `container -> container`. E.g., the `Click` action of Button is
conceptually represented as:
embeddedButton : Embedding Button.Model container action ...
embeddedButton =
embedIndexed
Button.view Button.update .button {\m x -> {m|button=x} Button.model 0
clickAction : container -> container
clickAction = embeddedButton.update Button.click
When all Material components are embedded in the same `container` model, we
then have a uniform update mechanism.
We lost the ability to inspect the action when we did this, though. To be
able to react to some actions of a component, we add to our `container ->
container` type for actions a potential __observation__ of type `obs`.
In practice, this observation type `obs` will be the Action of the TEA
component __hosting__ MDL components.
Altogether, accounting also for effects, we arrive at the following type.
