Elm programmers: are there higher-order abstractions you use to compose modules without manually defining parent product types and `update`?

I'd love to know about this too. So far it involves a lot of manual labor.

I’m trying to evaluate essential v. incidental complexity here, and in general in the pattern of “pass everything down the tree.”

Only thing I’ve see is package.elm-lang.org/packages/deboi
But, the idea of “passing down” (like Redux) is unneeded (1/2)
generally speaking, just write another function.
Nest update functions and use custom child update fns (2/2)

This requires creating a sum type over the children and switching to dispatch the updates, though, yes?

I've found the farther I moved from the rigor of those manual defs, the harder my code is to read. So I keep it simple.
