Thank you for the link to playground with the code example.
Now I understand where I was making a mistake. Thank You a lot!
I’ll admit that this overwriting of modules, adding external is a bit confusing.
Do future versions of Rescript have plans to simplify this?
Many of the UI libraries in the React ecosystem use data-attributes, it would be nice if they could be declared without all this boilerplate (in the commercial project I work in, we have about 1200 components in the project - our own and from UI libraries that rely heavily on data-attributes to store meta-data and control CSS styles).
I’m having a hard time imagining arguments to convince the rest of the team that having to define these props override declarations in each component file to add data-attributes is, as you pointed out, “close to a version of typescript”
