@deep-symmetry: I think I know who you are.

Welcome!

Hi, @devn, you do indeed! :simple_smile:

Why would I lose metadata on an object (a defrecord) that I assoc to a defrecord, then retrieve?

Ugh, a typo. nm

Someone who has succeed in running clojure with codeenvy ?

Does someone succeed in running clojure on codeenvy ?

I’m not convinced this is that right channel, but I’ll try… Does anyone know how to get the current username from https://github.com/cemerick/friend?

I have successful facebook authentication working, but there’s little in the ring request map of interest.

What’s the simplest way to upload a file (picture) with a compojure app ? Java’s library ? lib-noir (not outdated ?) ? Other ?

@paulspencerwilliams try (:username (friend/current-authentication))

Anyone knows a good cloud ide that I can use for clojure?

Hi. I'd like to deploy a reagent project to tomcat. I created a "lein new reagent myapp" project, then I added the lein-ring plugin. Then I "uberwar" and deploy. But I get the "ClojureScript has not been compiled!" message.... despite it being compiled during the "lein ring uberwar" What am I missing?

xeqi: unfortunately there’s no :username attribute. Infact friend/current-authentication brings back

{:identity {:access-token “blahblahblah"}, :roles #{:friend-oauth2-examples.facebook-handler/user}}

Ah right, its whatever the credentials-fn returned, which oauth sends back :identity ...

I've only used it for local authentication. Maybe https://github.com/ddellacosta/friend-oauth2/wiki#5-set-up-your-credential-fn-to-find-user-metadata could have something useful

xeqi: cheers, that pointer looks useful.

Hm, anyone knows offhand if there is a way for many consumers to take from an async channel, competing for the messages? Is just several go loops doing !< on the same channel enough, or something has to be done like with mult or pub?

multiple consumers can take from a channel

Gotcha, thanks

is there a dissoc-in in standard lib?

no

but you can get similar effects via update-in

oh, ok, thank you

where the update fn is dissoc

Is the brave book the best book for a beginner to learn clojure

@roberto: or you can use medley: http://weavejester.github.io/medley/medley.core.html#var-dissoc-in

roelof, I don't know if it's the best, but I liked it a lot :simple_smile:

doddenino: thanks, Did you did and read the exercises of the whole book

Exercise 5 and 6 of Do things chapter looks difficult to me

I read the online version some time ago, so I don't remember the excercises very well sorry!

oke, brave is rewritten some weeks ago

anyone tips for exercise 5 and 6 of this page : http://www.braveclojure.com/do-things/

Where are you stuck? Do you have anything working?

at that point I have nothing. I have no idea how to solve this. changing the first half and named it middle or change something in the other functions which makes the left part

xeqi: that worked a treat, got it all working. Cheers!

on FP we are always trying to achieve pure function/referential transparency. The FP holy grail. In a web application , how you guys are trying to achieve that ? the handler will receive Database / Email / Remote Services / http Request ?

(POST "/endpoint" request (handler db email-service remote-service request))

how do you guys try to achieve that ^^ ?

roelof: perhaps being comfortable with adding stuff to maps will help? You should be able to go from

{:a 1} -> {:a 1 :b 2}

tdantas: I understand your frustration. I suppose stuart sierra’s component (or similar libs) can help you decomplect the calls depending on other systems. I still have to try it myself though.

@pguillebert: reading right now :simple_smile:

tdantas: I often try to isolate the state mutation on the “outside”, though this is often a design problem. There’s not often a single way to do this.

For example, with database, I recently built a system where a lot of computation happened, but on just one record per request which needed to be locked for serialized updates. So my handler got the record, called a pure function, and put the result back in the database.

The computation was a couple thousand lines, but pure and easily testable.

I see

:+1:

How can one use apply with a Java interop method?

I’m also writing an editor with a similar structure.

open source ?

Yes

what is the gh ?

thanks @eraserhd

Essentially all the side-effecting happens in avi.core, the rest is pure. With one little exception that I don’t know how to solve :smile:
