Anyone knows how, using bidi clientside, I can let a pattern ”escape” the router and thus my SPA? I want /api to result in a request for the web server and /<anything else> to be routed inside my SPA. My google fu only digs up an old blogpost of my own writing, which does not answer this question…

@pez https://github.com/venantius/accountant I think you need this

(ns form-validator-demo.routes
  (:require [re-frame.core :as re-frame]
            [bidi.bidi :as bidi]
            [accountant.core :as accountant]
            [taoensso.timbre :as l]))

(def route ["/" {"" :main
                 "log-in" :log-in
                 "log-out" :log-out
                 "sign-up" :sign-up
                 "forgotten-password" :forgotten-password}])

(defn path->request [path]
  (bidi/match-route route path))

(defn handler->path [handler]
  (bidi/path-for route handler))

(defn navigate! [path]
  (accountant/navigate! path))

(defn hook-browser-navigation! []
  (accountant/configure-navigation! {:nav-handler (fn [path]
                                                    (re-frame/dispatch [:load-path path]))
                                     :path-exists? (fn [path]
                                                     (l/info "exists?" path (bidi/match-route route path) (boolean (bidi/match-route route path)))
                                                     (boolean (bidi/match-route route path)))})
  (accountant/dispatch-current!))

notice :path-exists?

@kwladyka: thanks, I am using Accountant as it happens. I'll fiddle some with my path-exists? handler and see what it gets me.

what does accountant add on top of bidi / secretary?

… seems my problem is I have a catch-all route.

@borkdude accountant is a html5 history library

ah, it seems we have implemented that part ourselves in adjunction to secretary

@borkdude before going with bidi, I'd suggest checking out reitit. (iirc they have bundled a html5 handler with it).

we’re already using secretary, no reason to change right now.

Eventually you will, I am sure. Secretary is old hat. 😃

but reitit sounds good yes. we’re using yada on the backend which is coupled to bidi.

it’s old, but it works, we haven’t changed that code in a long while 😉

😃

@borkdude Do you use yada with redis DB sessions? Does yada work with peridot?

btw, secretary is now a clj-commons project. at least it’s in maintenance mode. https://github.com/clj-commons/secretary

I mean how simple is add ring middlewares with yada?

@borkdude yada isn't coupled to bidi, but does provide convenient integrations with it.

@kwladyka you can use ring stuff with yada, although we got rid of a lot of the ring stuff we had. see https://twitter.com/borkdude/status/857979807358910464

@dominicm I stand corrected

good, I was trying yada a few days, but I had feeling it needs +1 year. Maybe I give up too fast. hard to say

it’s almost two years since I posted that tweet

I was trying yada about 1 week ago 😉

@dominicm now that you say this, maybe we could use reitit with yada then. it also replaces Schema by spec for validation? then we could migrate that too. do you know any projects that did this?

@kwladyka if you have any questions, feel free to post in #yada.

I have feeling doc could have 20% of the content with the same or higher value. Just I couldn’t achieve things. Like for example I didn’t want to throw exceptions to users face in web browser. How to turn off it? Somebody point me on #yada to place in the code, but there is no word about that in doc. In other words IMO the weakest point of yada is doc.

I would love to use it, but today I don’t feel comfortable with it. Maybe I should try once again.

at least there are docs, although they’re not complete. when I did a comparison between Pedestal and yada, I found yada much more accessible doc-wise

maybe now it’s different, don’t know

I have never used Pedestal. Only ring and liberator. I can’t compare this two.

@kwladyka as for the error handling code. I can post my code if you want to have a peek

sure

I removed some specific things to our app, but this is the gist of it: https://gist.github.com/borkdude/441379ec59d8da7f72348453ee15f32a

thank you

in dev I throw exceptions at my face in the browser, but in prod I don’t (they’re logged to sentry)

Do you use yada with graphql?

I have concern about graphql auth and security

with yada / liberator / ring

trying to find the best solution

that’s an entirely different topic, but right now we don’t. I suggest talking in #yada, since this is going off topic now

but probably auth has to be moved into graphql and there is really no library to support it

ok, thx

My hacky macro to get translations hooked up in CLJS actually paid off. I’ve closed the circle and now can upload my .pot files to translation, and read back .po files (using pottery). Good stuff! :happy-dance:

@orestis cool. are you by any chance using https://github.com/brightin/pottery?

Yes, but only to parse .po files. I generate my own .pot files because I needed to do the pre-processing of messages on my own.

I’m trying to create a macro which is the combination of go and let. What is very bizzare is that every time I try to evaluate the macro I receive the information that var cljs.core/destructure is undeclared 😮 How to make it work? What I’m missing?

(ns some-example.macros.async
  (:refer-clojure :exclude [destructure])
  (:require
   [clojure.core.async]))

#?(:cljs
   (defmacro go-let
     [bindings & body]
     `(clojure.core.async/go (let* ~(cljs.core/destructure bindings) ~@body))))

how can I create a macro that attaches metadata to a var?

(defmacro defstart! [args & body]
  `(do
     (defn ~'-start! ~args
       ~@body)
     ;; check if we're in node; if not, don't create the reloadable start
     (when-not (cljs.core/exists? js/process)
       (defonce
         ~(with-meta 'start! {:export true :dev/after-load true})
         (hecate.loader/reloadable (var ~'-start!))))))

there are no real vars

given that what are you trying to accomplish?

in our project, we have a lot of entry points into various parts of the app. each entry point has a bunch of boilerplate

e.g.:

(when-not (exists? js/process)
  (defonce ^{:export true :dev/after-load true} start! (reloadable (fn [dom-ref {:keys [config]}]
     (r/render [app config])))))

I'm trying to clean this up with a macro:

(defstart! [dom-ref {:keys [config]}]
  (r/render [app config]))

and it will expand to something close to the above

@dnolen does that make sense? possible? 😬

I see you just want to make a macro that expands to a def w/ metadata, that should work

yeah

but my code above for some reason is not exporting properly when I do a release

(defonce
         ~(with-meta 'start! {:export true :dev/after-load true})
         (hecate.loader/reloadable (var ~'-start!))

I don't see anything obviously wrong at the moment, but can't look too closely right now

I would try something simpler - no defonce etc.

@kwcharllie379 you're not requiring the cljs.core macro ns so that won't work
