Clojurians Log v2

I really doubt that. Try to find the root cause of the issue. utils.date is not a function really sounds like a usage error.

Sup! I want to just render two spans inside some container: (rdom/render [:div.wrapper [:span "Hello"] [:span "world"]] some-dom-elem). This works allright, but what if I want to remove the :div.wrapper? Can't seem to find a way to render a list of elems without a root element. This is annoying because my html ends up using an unneeded wrapper: <div id="wrapper"><div class="wrapper"><span... etc

Oh, that was easy, I just replace :div with :<> . Perfect, thx!

Hey, I am having some trouble building a release binary. From a fresh install of the template, how would I build a html webpage that I can move onto a server and use?

@endergeryt if it's a lein template, use lein uberjar to create a fat jar, the resulting jar (there's two, you want the one with "standalone" in the name) can be run via java -jar ...

When I run the uberjar, it drops me into a clojure REPL

oh - it must be avoiding aot

How would I prevent that?

try java -jar my-standalone.jar -m my.ns

you don't need aot, it just means your startup is slightly more verbose a command line

whenever I do that, it appears to only be looking for clojure and cljc files, but not cljs files

I should note that I'm using the frontend template

to run cljs files, you need to connect to the clj server

perhaps you want electron rather than reagent if what you want is an app?

https://github.com/Gonzih/cljs-electron

It's a website, I just used the frontend template. How would I get the clj server running? It works with figwheel

running the main ns created by the template (named based on your creation args) will by default start a web server that serves html providing your reagent cljs app

figwheel is a dev only tool and shouldn't be used in production

ok, where would the main namespace be located in my sources?

if you created it via lein new reagent foo it would be in src/foo/core.clj if you used lein new reagent org.foo/bar it would be in src/org/foo/bar.clj

Hm, is there a way to move from the reagent-frontend template to the plain reagent template easily?

oh! I missed that you were using the separate reagent-frontend package, sorry

if you use lein new, there should be very few files to copy over from the other project, that's likely the easiest thing

Ok, I'll try to create a reagent standard template and transplant the files

I think the main thing is that src/foo.cljs in reagent-frontend becomes src/cljs/foo.cljs in reagent

How would I get it to not use the router

why would you need it to do that?

The way the site is constructed is that it uses an atom to control where it is on the site

Unless the router can modify the atom

sounds like you just want a single page

yeah, that's how I set it up

easiest thing is to use only one route in the router

you can run without a router, but that's definitely not the easy thing to do

even with a SPA you usually end up with routes for serving data queries

anyway, now that I think for a moment longer, the router implements a function, you can just replace it with any other function from request -> response (eg. your page handler), or just have no routes defined and serve everything via static resources (but at that point why even use clojure on the back end, maybe you'd want nginx instead...)

how do I get it to serve cljs instead of the hiccup?

the original project should have had an http template that pulled in the js from your cljs, and rendered the hiccup

mount-target?

this is the file in reagent-frontend-template: https://github.com/reagent-project/reagent-frontend-template/blob/master/resources/leiningen/new/reagent_frontend/public/index.html I guess the version in reagent compiles from hiccup in the handler ns - but no hiccup should reach the browser https://github.com/reagent-project/reagent-template/blob/master/resources/leiningen/new/reagent/src/clj/reagent/handler.clj

how would I configure somethiing to just serve it, since I just need it set up as a single page webapp. I just cannot figure out how to compile the frontend into something I can render

@endergeryt it looks like the reagent-frontend project has a command to bundle up all of your JS

Ok, what would that be?

in the README

> Building for production

lein clean
 lein package

that will build a production JS bundle, which you can then upload to a file hosting service

ok, thanks!

oh wow, I really was sending this on a wild goose chase, sorry

It's fine, honestly I probably wasn't helping the situation much. Thanks for the help!

What do I do about the stuff in the index.html file? Do I include that too?

yeah, you can upload that as well if it matches what you want in production

Um, slight problem. Whenever I try and run the index.html file in the browser, I get the ClojureScript has not been compiled div instead of the real app

could be a number of issues. is your JS bundle being loaded?

how can I check if that is the case? The script tag is there

I think it's a problem of it trying to run from the root of my filesystem, how do I avoid that

Yeah, it's just my links trying to go from the root of my filesystem

it would say in the console or network tab if the script failed to load

Yeah, I've figured out the issue. I got it working. Thanks though!
