I wouldn't use the Clojars version of React. Someone has to maintain it, probably someone who's not involved with React itself. CLJSJS is not something you need today. It can easily be outdated or missing some required externs. Pretty much always it's better and simpler to use the NPM version.

So you prefer to use only NPM and use shadow-cljs only to compile cljs->js ?

or I dont understand your: > CLJSJS is not something you need today

I myself - yes. But you don't have to use shadow-cljs. AFAIK Figwheel works with NPM too. Maybe other tools, but I don't use them so can't really tell.

hmm I thought shadow-cljs is a basic frontend compile tool for clojurescript on production apps So you dont use it in your commercial apps and use figwheel?

basically you use npm for npm packages

and shadow-cljs.edn for cljs dependencies. thats it

react is a npm package and as far as I'm concerned doesn't exist on clojars

yes, you can use shadow-cljs for everything. there is no special license for commercial projects or whatever

what p-himik meant is that there is a 3rd party effort called "cljsjs" which provided npm packages in a way they could be accessed over clojars

but that became obsolete as soon as npm packages became directly accessible via npm

https://github.com/cljsjs/packages

I see now, thanks

some packages are still maintained there but most are out of date

so best to just use npm directly

for JS dependencies, CLJS is just clojars and not on npm

I know it sucks a little but thats how it works

So I just use cljs related packages (like reagent, re-frame etc) via shadow-cljs and other (react, testing-library etc) via mom right ?

correct
