Clojurians Log v2

Wow! Which version of reagent/MUI? Did you use webpack for bundle? You didn't get warnings about ReactDOM incompatibilties?

Ah I see. Thank you @vishal.gautam for the explanation on the hooks. I can see how they would be quite valuable in daily React land.

does this method

(ns app.navigation
  (:require
   [reagent.core :as r]
   ["@material-ui/core" :refer [List ListItem Button]]
   ["@material-ui/styles" :refer [makeStyles]]
   ["@material-ui/icons" :refer [ExpandMore ExpandLess BarChart] :rename {ExpandMore ExpandMoreIcon
                                                                          ExpandLess ExpandLessIcon}]))

FWIW I made some benchmarking between reagent, helix https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/CRRJBCX7S/p1588066976025300

(using latest stable version of reagent 0.10.0, not 1.0.0), config is here https://github.com/krausest/js-framework-benchmark/pull/726/files)

how do you fire an event as soon as the component has loaded, i.e., onComponentMount?

Check out Form-3 components https://github.com/reagent-project/reagent/blob/master/doc/CreatingReagentComponents.md

that's slightly verbose though. Is that the recommended way?

Yeah, as far as I know that’s the only way to do it, short of rolling your own interop with React and JS.

it's not that bad @pshar10 there are just some pitfalls to be aware of. Use them all the time (for better/worse), ping if you run into trouble

if for some reason you use them inline just remember they need to be wrapped in a vector

what pitfalls do I need to be aware of?

I use them with inputs frequently to focus/select on mount, i.e.

(reagent/create-react-class
 {:componentDidMount 
  (fn [this]
    (let [node (reagent.dom/dom-node this]
      (.select node)
      (.focus node)))
  :reagent-render 
  (fn [] [:input])})

if you were to drop that inline, for instance, you would need to do something like

[:form 
 [:label "blah"]
 [(reagent/create-react-class
  {:componentDidMount 
   (fn [this]
     (let [node (reagent.dom/dom-node this]
       (.select node)
       (.focus node)))
   :reagent-render 
   (fn [] [:input])})]]

(note that it is wrapped in a vector)

as opposed to

[:form 
 [:label "blah"]
 ;; this won't work
 (reagent/create-react-class
  {:componentDidMount 
   (fn [this]
     (let [node (reagent.dom/dom-node this]
       (.select node)
       (.focus node)))
   :reagent-render 
   (fn [] [:input])})]

the other two pitfalls, I suppose, are to access the actual dom node from the lifecycle methods use reagent.dom/dom-node as indicated in the example and to make sure that your your render method is actually :reagent-render. If you use :render it will have intermittent bugs

@goomba This is better I think: (def foo-bar (with-meta identity {:component-did-mount #((foo-bar))})) (defn my-component [] [foo-bar [:div "Foo"] ] )

Cool! I've never seen that before 🙂

@pshar10 With reagent 1.0.0 you can use functional components and react useState hooks.

Has anyone tried #respo and #reagent both? What are the pros and cons of both?

Which do you like better and why?
