i can access the full namespace just fine:

cljs.user> reitit.frontend/router
#object[reitit$frontend$router]

should be fine? which REPL is this? shadow-cljs?

hmm no I guess not shadow-cljs, don't recognize the error message. should still work though :P

it is indeed shadow!

cljs.user=> rf/router
#object[reitit$frontend$router]

works fine for me? which version?

hmm in my emacs minibuffer i’m seeing [pending-cljs], although the shadow server is running and I can connect (this is with CIDER) shadow version: 2.20.16 . I think this might be a CIDER issue, but not sure how to dig further into this

the shadow server is started in a separate terminal and then I connect to the nrepl server with cider-connect-cljs

seems like it could be this: https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/issues/3246

the relevant debugging messages from nrepl:

i’m able to eval forms like (js/alert "…") without issue, but evaluating forms from within a cljs buffer and other things like aliasing namespaces don’t work

I experience this only when I connect to an nrepl server started in a separate terminal, but not when i jack in and start up a new one directly from emacs

that all looks fine. can you try just running npx shadow-cljs cljs-repl your-build-id and just trying the snippet from above?

just seeing if it is nrepl or something else

I don't have a clue about emacs related things so can't help diagnose any of that

Helping a friend with their wordpress site (sigh) but then they asked for the wordpress-impossible… and I thought… “yay! maybe I can get some cljs into the mix!.

maybe grab some data from the wp-api and spin up a cljs frontend that does something interesting with that data?

absolutely.

I don’t know anything about WP… I’ll look at the API.

They want a graphic that changes when one plays different sound samples arrayed around the image.

but, actually, a data viz would be cool to throw in there somewhere, too.

most newer versions should have the api under /wp-json

and you can consult the api ref to get a better idea of how to use it: https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/key-concepts/

So, nice… it sounds like you can stick anything into a WP site…

I’m not sure I even need API calls in this case (the not-data-viz example).

I don't know for ClojureScript libs, but for npm deps, I use npm audit. And GitHub also lets me know when an npm package has a security issue. Curious to know what others use.

Not specific to ClojureScript, but this could be useful in addition to npm audit: https://github.com/rm-hull/nvd-clojure

@U0CLCL6T0, I use nvd-clojure on some Clojure projects. I'm not sure if it helps too much with ClojureScript vulnerabilities. @U45T93RA6, who generously maintains nvd-clojure, might be able to tell us more.

It's not expected to help with js/cljs dependencies. In fact nvd-clojure, by default, disables all analysis from other langs (.net, ruby, js, ...) for reducing false positives. Since nvd-clojure/DependencyCheck are classpath and .jar based, they won't analyze relevant .js files since nowadays most deps are expressed as npm dependencies which are rarely if ever in the classpath.

Makes sense, thanks for the clarification

I used to worry about that, then saw a clarification that "beginner" refers to the poster, not the question. That said, see you in #C053AK3F9!

I consider myself just slightly above beginner, but still tend to ask in #C053AK3F9. If it feels like my question is obscure, digging in the weeds of Clojure internals, or otherwise just simply "above the head" of what a beginner should be expected to either know or be learning about, then I bring it here to #C03S1KBA2. Personally, I think this falls under the "obscure" category, and I would have left it here. But that's just me. 🤷
