Just learning about AppInventor/Thunkable, which is a whole new world to me, and I see that there's a way to include (I think) arbitrary Javascript: http://thunkableblocks.blogspot.com/2017/08/run-javascript-inside-web-viewer-with.html

Anyone know what would be involved in using Clojurescript instead?

@lspector using selfhosted cljs, you can make a reagent component that is a cljs editor for hiccup datastructure that creates another reagent component, which may also be an editor.

I made something like that I called inception-component or something lol

I'm not sure if I released anything but I have something of an example of it here https://pepl.io/admin

the above component is rendered by the stuff in the editor below. Then below that are some more examples

to get it to work, I think you'd have to clone my https://github.com/johnmn3/johnmn3 repo and then use your own auth info. But I didn't get around to testing it that far.

@john I'm not sure I see how to take your advice re: my actual question, but https://pepl.io/admin is really cool! I will check that out regardless.

maybe I don't actually understand this thunkable thing :thinking_face:

and btw, I think the PEPL idea is pretty awesome, but most of the awesomeness of the inline editor comes from https://www.maria.cloud/

@lspector wait, so this is a browser extension for automating browser interactions?

and you want a chrome browser extension that will let you automate browser interactions with clojurescript?

Well I have just the thing for you 😉 https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrepl/ablpgchfbbfachdiakmieocbdgflgfjj

oh, I think I see what you mean... like, create a blockly language for clojurescript that could fit into that blockly language they're using there to integrate the javascript language

Well, there's always https://github.com/roman01la/jsbin-cljs so if you can fetch a compiled version of that and call jsbin_cljs.core.eval on the source, you might be able to just do that

I didn't mean creating a new blocky language. I meant using their blocky language and all of the infrastructure they created for it, but to be able to add new blocks that do custom computations, with the code for the new blocks being in Clojurescript (rather than Javascript).

hey - I can’t seem to find how to consume a js iterator from cljs (eg new Map().entries) - how does this work?

https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/blob/master/src/main/cljs/cljs/core.cljs#L1306-L1312

@dazld

(def m (js/Map.))
(.set m 0 "kissa")
(.set m 1 "koira")

(def i (.entries m))
(.next i)
(.next i)

the raw iterator interface is a bit clunky and stateful, as you demonstrate :I

the experimental one in core seems to work great though

True. That’s why it’s better stick to cljs data structures.

well, it’s living in a js env..

heh

not first choice though

Google closure library might have some handy helper utils

What am I missing here?

⇒  clojure -Srepro -Sdeps '{:deps {org.clojure/clojurescript {:mvn/version "1.10.520"}}}' -m cljs.main -e "(require 'cljs.js) (cljs.js/empty-state)"
Exception in thread "main" clojure.lang.ExceptionInfo: Execution error (Error) at (<cljs repl>:1).
Cannot read property 'empty_state' of undefined

Has anybody used chromex? How to setup environment in order to see source maps?

what’s the usual way, given an inst, to make a string like 1 minute ago or 3 months ago?

i've achieved this with moment.js in the past: https://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/fromnow/
