a destructing problem in selmer. When I do paintings.tiles I see this output :

[{:x 0, :y 0, :url ""}]  

how do I get the url out of it. I tried {{ % get-in paintings [0] % }} {{ % get-in paintings 0 % }} {{ first {{ data.paintings }} }} ` but no luck

It's hard to help without more context. Need to see what data structures are called what in your template and I've no idea what paintings.tiles is. However, given the shape of the data (a vector containing a map with url in it) you need to get the first (0 indexed) item in the vector to get the map and then the value associated with the :url keyword. So something like: (get-in paintings [0 :url]) assuming paintings has that shaped data and I don't know if it does from the information you've given.

@agile_geek , yes, I know that part. But my question is how to convert that so selmer can do it

No idea - look at selmer docs

I suspect you need to destructure the data in Clojure and then set a variable using Selmer's fn's then reference that variable in the template

I found this in the docs :

"Accessors are separated by dots like {{ foo.bar.0 }}

which gets translated into (get-in context-map [:foo :bar 0]). So you

can nest vectors and maps in your context-map.  

That's extracting data from the Selmer context-map. Is your data in the context map

?

nope, in a normal map

So that won't work

nope, Im rewrite my code so the url has it own keyword

I would extract the url from the map in clojure and pass it to the selmer template as a variable using render

do the extraction using Clojure

That is what I try now

Anyway I've work to do so good luck

and I have to think how to solve it when there are more then 1 url for bigger images

I've only used Selmer once three years ago so I wont be much help but it does have things like for tags so if you have multiple urls that all need to render in the same way in sequence you could pass the for tag a vector of URLs

If each image needs to go in different places they probably need unique names anyway

But if you want to render the details and images of several paintings on a page the for tag could wrap a html and tags for a collection but then you would need to figure out how to destructure the individual details from each map

I think if you for loop over a vector of maps where each map is your painting details you can name each map in the vector something e.g. painting and then use dot notation to get the contents {{painting.url}}

Really do need to get back to work now 😉

Im doing that way but for the url I needed another way

but now it worked I think, Thanks for the help

I am requiring ring but when Clojure compiles I receive an error

[ring.util.http-response :refer [response]]

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: response does not exist

ring.util.http-response doesn’t define its own response, it uses the one from ring.util.response

thanks! that’s good to know! But when I re-run it with:

[ring.util.response :refer [response]

I get:

No such namespace: response

What’s your whole ns/require block look like?

(ns guestbook.routes.home

            [compojure.core :refer [defroutes GET POST]]
            [ring.util.response :refer [response]]))

Do you have ring-util as a dep?

Ring util isn't in the minimal core lib

ohhh

I thought it was, that’s probably my error

cool! Thank you!

I usually just use the full ring, else I'm not sure what I have.

But I might be wrong, because looking at the source on github, core should include the utils

Hm yeah I got the same error

At the REPL does (require 'ring.util.response) work?

And also (require '[ring.util.response :refer [response]])?

I am not able to launch a repl in this project because my code won’t compile due to this requirements issue

Oh, derp. You've fixed the require issue already.

No such namespace: response This means you're doing response/response something, or something like that.

[ring.util.response :as [response]] maybe you meant this?

I want the function that is under ring.util.response that is called response

http://ring-clojure.github.io/ring/ring.util.response.html

I figured it out

I was doing

response/ok

Thank you for your help!

Sorry I was so blind at first 😄.

Hey guys, is this blog about select-keys (http://blog.jayfields.com/2011/01/clojure-select-keys-select-values-and.html) out of date? Does it now return a map with keys in the order of supplied keys-vector every time? I don’t know if I can depend on that.

I don’t believe you can. As an impl detail, I believe small maps are implemented as array maps and do preserve insertion order, but that is not a contract on which you should rely.

If you need a logically ordered map, sorted-map is there for you.

How about if I try to rewrite it with something like for k in ks … get map k … into {}

would that preserve the order of ks?

i believe you can't go into {} and want order

no, you’re dumping the values into a map at the end

you need to go into (sorted-map)

hm I can’t concisely describe a comparator

I want pretty much arbitrary ordering of keys

to be preserved

Can you live with dumping the ordered values into a vector?

You’ll have to maintain key uniqueness yourself, of course

is that not what ordered-map gives you?

I only see sorted-map fn, not ordered map

sorted-map sorts the map by a comparator fn on the keys

There is no ordered-map in clojure core of which I’m aware

so I could dump it into a vector of vector pairs [[a 1] [b 2] … ]

oh sorry, array-map

https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.core/array-map

> An array-map maintains the insertion order of the keys. Look up is linear, which is not a problem for small maps (say less than 10 keys). If your map is large, you should use hash-map instead. > When you assoc onto an existing array-map, the result is a new array-map with the new key as the first key. The rest of the keys are in the same order as the original. Functions such as seq and keys will respect the key order. > Note that assoc will decide to return a hash-map if the result is too big to be efficient.

Yeah, that’s also a fine idea, but the assoc land mine is just waiting to defy your expectations 🙂

that assoc behavior seems to no longer be true

(keys (assoc (array-map :foo 10 :bar 20) :baz 30)) gives me (:foo :bar :baz) in my repl

I think the threshold is 16 values

(type (assoc (apply array-map (range 1000)) :foo "bar"))
clojure.lang.PersistentHashMap

whaaat so my 20th assoc or something will definitely be at the front?

No, you’ll just lose the “seq is in insertion order” property

ah ok it becomes a hash map

so this ordered map thing, am I likely to be just modeling the problem wrong?

It’s really annoying, there arent built in things like order by val

I feel like since I’m trying to build up a ordered list of k-v pairs just as an intermediate step to a final calculation, maybe a reduce is better?

but that’s more confusing

Hard to say, ennit. There are certainly cases where you need to preserve an arbitrary ordering, but those cases don’t tend to be also those where you require unique values by some other key.

wait, what are you trying to acomplish?

http://adventofcode.com/2016/day/4 this little game here

and if this is an intermediate step, why not just use [[k1 v1] [k2 v2] ...]

yeah that was the idea above, sounds best!

you'll never see the data yourself

and also, just reduce the collection if possible

yeah i’m just habitually wanting to build data to see in the repl

thanks for the help :)

if you really need an ordered map, see https://github.com/amalloy/ordered

hi there 🙂 was wondering if I could get any guidance on setting :source-paths in project.clj for a cljs project

(defproject hello_world "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
  :description "FIXME: write description"
  :url ""
  :license {:name "Eclipse Public License"
            :url  ""}
  :dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.8.0"]]
  :source-paths ["src"
                 "src/hello_world"
                 "."])

attempting to run lein run -m clojure.main repl.clj and getting some nasty error messages... the tutorial guidance suggests it might have something to do with :source-paths but it doesn't specify how it should be structured

@goomba can you DM me the stacktrace?

abs, thank you!

goomba : putting "." in source-paths is a bad idea, because it results in your entire repo being in your jar

(if you ever make jars)

ahhh okay

was just trying various things to attempt to get it to run 😛

haha, fair enough

also in general if "foo" is in src-paths, then "foo/bar" probably shouldn't be there too (I assume that too was shotgun debugging of course)

yes indeed 😄

it's cool got it mostly running... will probably just wipe it and start a clean slate having the benefit of hindsight

and by "it" I mean my harddrive and change careers 😂

This is an import because this is on Clojurescript's quickstart guide. If we're confusing people this early into their journey, it's going to turn some people off

if they got past the parenthesis it's probably fine 😛

oh, that project was copied from an example?

@noisesmith https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/wiki/Quick-Start

towards the end of it the tutorial mentions Leiningen and gives a lein command to run

you said "we're" confusing people 😄 I heard clojurians were awesome

yeah I'm a Python guy but I've fallen for Clojure ❤️. I'm trying to backdoor it into my work with ClojureScript, hopefully using it on the backend via node.js, and then magically one day it will just be real Clojure 😄

also anything I can do to spend less time writing JavaScript T.T

@goomba then I suggest heading over to the #mentoring channel and see if anyone has bandwidth to get you started down a more productive track

very well

thank ya thank ya!

regarding the leiningen section on that page, the suggestion to run lein classpath if you have questions is so stupid it's funny

"oh, I see, a list of 1000 files all on one line, now I understand"

hahahahahaha

anyway got to clojure conj??

ehhh I'll take it to #off-topic

@goomba Welcome! How much Clojure have you done so far? Everyone learns differently, but I personally like using a template for starting out a ClojureScript project (where I can explore for a bit without worrying about the project building at all). I'm not sure which one is best for beginners, but https://github.com/bhauman/figwheel-template is a pretty cool barebones template with automatic code reloading and https://github.com/reagent-project/reagent-template is popular if you want to use the Reagent react wrapper.

(The second one has the code reloading too)

fantastic 😄 I'm very "old-school" ... If I had it my way I'd work from JVM byte-code out (I suppose can say assembly for a different day) but there's only so much time in the universe! It's obviously a ton of value to see some projects put together with best practices

@goomba if you really want to see byte code / assembler, no.disassemble with jvm clojure is pretty awesome

reallllly 😄

https://github.com/gtrak/no.disassemble

you hand it a function, it shows you the assembly for the byte code generated

that is awesome! I'm a big fan of language design in general so I love that stuff

it even knows how to return disassmbly data as a data structure so that you can write code that works with it

whoaaa 😄

so it goes past byte code and to assembly?? wow

well "disassemble" as in get pseudo-code for the byte-code

ahhh okay

there's no direct access to the assembly for machine code

that's even better

yeah I was wondering how that worked!

@curlyfry thanks for the warm welcome 🙂

goomba: clojure contains a copy of asm.java which is a project that directly emits jvm bytecode without using javac - it's pretty neat

man... this language is so magical

It's also absolutely perfect for AI

check out core.logic and have a good time

and not that machine learning nonsense everyone calls AI I'm talking real AI 😄 😄 😛 😛

@dpsutton Will do! So much to learn

@goomba post specific questions here

got it

Om uses reify to create React classes

bit confused about the purpose of reify

is it om specific?

no, it's in clojure core and clojurescript core

okay. I'm not totally comprehending the doc string or examples... it seems like the purpose has something to do with working with objects?

here is a really contrived example

I'm good with contrived examples 😄

what does this return?

(.toString (Object.))

some nonsense about "java.lang.object@<some hash>"

indeed

but what about this?

(.toString (reify Object (toString [_] "Oh Hai!")))

so in the Om example you posted in the other channel it is returning a "reified" instance of IRender with a modified implementation of render

It's the reason that some people find Reframe more "beginner friendly"

also, in my example above I'm calling toString on a reified instance of an object with a modified implementation of toString. my version returns "Oh Hai!" so that is what gets returned

ahhhh I see

definitely not a beginner topic

so the [_] is pointing to the "this" of the object and you denote it as an underscore because it is unimportant

true

okay, I understand now. there is a similar function in Python... just needed to connect the dots, thank you

so the second argument of reify is instructions for how you want to perform the "reification"?

interesting... just trying to draw comparisons, I assume reify is primarily for Java objects? In Python objects have the ability to define how they wanted to be reified... called repr in python

do Java objects do the same? like if I call an object that has some kind of defined method for reifying itself does it need the protocol argument?

it's not just a java interop thing. you can also use it to create a one-off instance of a protocol

it's for more than just the string representation of an object

what's the difference? could be any kind of valid form, not just string?

so if you had

(defprotocol Cat (speak [this]) (scratch [this person]))

(def nice-cat (reify Cat (speak [_] "mew") (scratch [_ _] "I don't scratch, I good kitty")))

ahhhh interesting

defprotocol is new to me (guess I'm in the right room)

it's the same as in python

except my guess is it's smarter and doesn't let you mutate state and screw your coworkers 😛

it's what they call an interface in Java? like a class with just methods and no data?

yes

baller

if I had a java interface named Cat.java on my classpath my nice-cat def also works

gotcha 😄 thanks guys!

name it rand10

you may have started the parsing for number and thrown it off when you switched to 10rand

don't have a repl open right now to check though

ah

Awesome yea that worked. note to self don’t start variables with numbers

I was just messing around trying to understand destructuring I didn’t think about the variables names.

Did you get a delimiter error?

yep

so I was looking for a missing () but I knew my parens were correct so it was a bit frustrating

same thing happens in maps if you have an odd number of terms or you put the : at the end of the keyword, it signals parse error for unmatched delimiters and such
