Not a cljs expert, but since I'm around: I believe cljs regexes are native Javascript regexes (per https://cljs.github.io/api/syntax/regex). clj regexes are native Java regexes. The two are indeed different. Don't know how off the top of my head, but searches for java vs. js regex will probably be fruitful.

Yes ClojureScript regexes are just JavaScript regexes. I find https://regex101.com/ useful for validating regexes. It lets you switch between different languages’ implementations and gives you useful errors. There’s also https://github.com/lambdaisland/regal which provides consistent semantics between Clojure and ClojureScript

Thanks guys! Based on your tips I managed to get it working.

Yes: https://cljs.github.io/api/syntax/#dot

just double checking :)

https://clojurescript.org/reference/documentation links to it.

IIRC CLJS compiler itself uses such syntax in some places.

oki doki then

I vaguely recall js/x.y.z syntax being called a “mishap” in some conversation. But it will never go away… as one would expect 😉

yeah its valid

wow, I was going to ask something exactly like that. I'm using a lib that has some nested objects, toyed around with the requires and nothing worked until I tried shaka-player/net.NetworkingEngine.RequestType.LICENSE. looks very weird having lots of dots to the right of the slash, but it's the only thing that worked

just be aware that syntax doesn't generally work with advanced compilation https://clojure.atlassian.net/browse/CLJS-3315 . not likely to be an issue on node ofc

ok

Oh, that's interesting! @U05224H0W is that issue relevant for shadow-cljs?

no, should be fine

Pretty sure it was a shadow build where I first saw the problem

I assumed it was a compiler problem, not shadow

it might be a problem when inside a core.async go. that loses type hints all over the place

regular code should be fine

Wasn't core async. I'll make see the repro build sometime soon

*Make a repro build

repro containing one build using cljs.build.api and one using shadow - both show the problem: https://github.com/henryw374/data_readers.cljc-testing/tree/master/dot-test

Indeed, can reproduce it with the latest [email protected]

ah just foo.bar yeah thats a problem. the initial question here was about js/foo.bar which should be fine

as well as some-npm-alias/foo.bar. just a bare foo.bar is a problem which needs to be fixed from the compiler side

ah, quite a subtle distinction then. I've just stopped using any foo.bar style for now.

yeah I'm using it only for js/ stuff too

Helix + React tutorials is a good place to go.

Thanks, I forgot I asked this. I believe so as well. Just so I’m in control and aware of whats taking place.
