Hello guys

suppose i would like to make select input which have available countries and the user will choose from, is it better to make this list available via restful API call from the server, or should be read from static file via the client directly, or embed it as big hash in the client code and will be available from there, what is the best approach for this ?

there is no best approach, it depends on your app

it's just list of all countries to make the user choose from

storing it as a map on the client would make sense to me

good, thanks

what do people do to run cljs tests on a CI server when the project needs a dom?

headless chrome

or more specifically https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer

karma is pretty popular as well https://shadow-cljs.github.io/docs/UsersGuide.html#target-karma

I’m using etaoin with headless chrome / chrome in a docker container

Does anyone know why running lein deps doesn’t pull cljs deps?

we always end up pulling them as part of a lein build

@domparry do you have the deps defined as part of a profile? eg. lein with-profiles +cljs deps

no… All just listed in :dependencies

I’ll dig a bit more.

correct me if i'm wrong, by setting :optimizations :none, the compiler should not rename any functions in the javascript?

i'm trying to use Plotly for charts, but it doesn't work in the deployed environment, getting errors like Plotly.xr is not a function

which makes me believe the problem is that the compiler has been renaming stuff I don't want it to rename.

perhaps there's a better way of dealing with these kinds of issues so I don't have to turn optimizations off?

is it possible to get environment variables loaded into a project.clj, then have access to them in cljs?

I have some environment variables that are accessible via Node’s process.env, I have access to them on the server side of my application but not on the client

@restenb Have you been using cljsjs? https://github.com/cljsjs/packages/tree/master/plotly

hey, :install-deps does not seem to be true by default, just searched clojurescript repo and didn’t find any explicit default for it, can anyone confirm?

also docs don’t mention a default value: https://clojurescript.org/reference/compiler-options#install-deps

:install-deps is not enabled by default

thanks, then cuerdas has wrong assumption that it is, I guess: https://github.com/funcool/cuerdas/commit/a8443724e22435e052af4149b27dd2169f3216ac

pretty sure that :npm-deps defaults to false nowadays as well

I’m not alone, even enabling :install-deps fails on me with compiler stack trace: https://github.com/funcool/cuerdas/issues/71#issuecomment-458679019

@john Yes, I'm using cljsjs.plotly

everything works locally on my dev build

ah, that's pretty wild. Might be something edge-casey about your env. I've been planning to integrate plotly into our stack soon.

with error messages like Uncaught TypeError: Plotly.Zj is not a function at Object.<anonymous> (app.js:984) at Object.componentDidMountall I could think was that compiler optimizations messed it up somehow

Yeah, that looks like an externs issue

i might try downloading the ext.js file and including it as an extern instead

But cljsjs should come wrapped with all the externs

see if the function you're trying to call is in here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cljsjs/packages/master/plotly/resources/cljsjs/plotly/common/plotly.ext.js

nah it's not, I already looked

... that's weird. You could edit the externs file and add the missing fns.

Do you know which function name is getting munged at that error?

i have no idea. it isn't always the same function either

or i suppose it might get altered to different names as well, i'm not familiar with how that actually works

If you want to make a minimal repro, I'll look at it
