Date type not recognized

[Casper Bollen]

When I want to use the Date type, it isn't recognized. Isn't this type automatically loaded with the core libs??

[Casper Bollen]

For example when I use:

type alias Test = { date : Date }

I get an Cannot find type Date error

Hi Casper,

Correct, the `Date` module (and type) are not imported or exposed by default. You can find the default imports here: http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm-lang/core/latest

To make `Date` available in your module, you can use `import Date exposing (Date)`. The "exposing" part means you can reference the `Date` type unqualified as `Date` rather than `Date.Date`, but other functions will only be available when qualified (e.g. `Date.fromString`)

Good luck!
