For my app, I assumed I would use cljs-ajax and but I couldn’t get a simple GET to work. I was forced to use js/fetch. This was a problem specifically on Android (I didn’t test on iOS).

cljs-ajax works on iOS for me

@levitanong you sure will 😛

in the react native tutorial, there are three ways to do networking, there's fetch, xmlhttprequest, and websocket

I went back to the gui part for now so I might ask on a later time XD

@ejelome: sure, no prob.

It's true, cljs ajax doesn't work on android

hmmm ... what's the equivalent of onChangeText attribute in re-natal? :on-change-text doesn't seem to work

not working unfortunately 😞

@ejelome it should be :onChangeText

as far as I know re-natal doesn’t do any dasherizing etc

@ejelome I’ve been using cljs-http with React Native - works nice

will note that cljs-http

the :on-change-text works, but the parameter part is causing an error

it uses http://goog.net internally

what’s the error?

we’re talking about this correct? http://facebook.github.io/react-native/releases/0.40/docs/textinput.html#onchangetext

yes

reset! is undefined

I can't type it because it's in an emulator XD

woah, ok, seems weird, if you have a gist might be able to give better ideas

undefined is not a function ... cljs.core.reset_BANG_call ...

this is the code:

(defn pizza-translator []
  (let [char (r/atom "")]
    (fn []
      [view {:style {:padding 10}}
       [text-input
        {:style {:height 40}
         :placeholder "Type here to translate!"
         :on-change-text #(% (reset! char %))}]])))

it's simply a replica of the jsx version

but I'm stuck on the on-change-text

that’s wrong, I think

ok, enlighten me pls 😄

it’s more like

ok, 1st thing first let’s not use the shorthand 🙂

copy

correct everything as much as you want, that'll be super helpful

just try

(fn [x] (println “what is x???” x))

I think it should be a string

right, it's a string

the repl responds as I type

right, so do you understand the problem now? 🙂

can’t call a string as a function

which is what

#(% (reset! char %))

does

oh

w8 a sec I'll try a non shortened

that's weird

it works on non-shorthand but doesn't on shorthand

here:

;; doesn't work
:on-change-text #(% (reset! char %))

;; works:
:on-change-text (fn [this] (reset! char this))

@raspasov can I have a hint why the shorthand doesn't work? or it's not really equivalent?

#(reset! char %)

your shorthand would expand to

(fn [a-string] (a-string (reset! char a-string)))

I think

that’s why my recommendation is: until you’ve been using Clojure for a loooong time, don’t use shorthands 🙂

it can confuse you

so it's basically a wrong format, hahaha

awesome! @raspasov thanks for the help :thumbsup:

😄

np anytime
