don’t mean to be obnoxious with silly questions, but saw this googling around and curious what people find to be standout about fulcro vs other fullstack setups (I’m used to reagent/re-frame personally)

compojure/ring on the backend

specifically I’m wondering if there is a page somewhere outlining which libs are being used for what?

I would say the stand out would be the compose-able nature of the parts. I don't think of reagent/re-frame as being full-stack - they rely on there being a REST back-end. Fulcro also uses Ring.

Hey all, I am new to fulcro but one question that I haven't found a solid answer for is like why not do prim/factory inside of defsc? I don't clearly see the benefit of this separation yet. I am new so I may have missed reading some material. Thanks!

If you think in terms of Java defsc is basically a class. factory returns a method that when called will give you an instance of that class. Instead of an object you are getting a react entity instance (or whatever its called).

That thinking helps, thanks! I was also thinking if defsc would be used in the header file like in cpp?

and the prim/factory is for the cpp file?

definition vs implementation( i may be stretching it here)

Probably - declare/define class/instance. You deal with other instances in the render method - but only the child ones.

Lets call them uis, because they are function that end in -ui (by convention).

@mattsfrey The thing that got me really interested in fulcro was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyVKf2U8YVg - I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything even close to as impressive for building fullstack applications in Clojure. You can do great stuff with re-frame, but it has no server side component at all and is based around a significantly different model.

I’m working on a (reusable) tool to help with refactoring (like the move from F2 to F3). I should be able to automate most of the porting, and output warning messages for the bits you have to do by hand. https://github.com/awkay/porting-tool

(would leverage https://github.com/xsc/rewrite-clj, but sadly it seems to currently only work with clj-only, no CLJC)

Hi, do you know of anything in the JS eco-system that have features similar to Fulcro, like views that declare the data they consume? I won't be able to make my coworkers use Clojure, but I still hope to drive them to better patterns on the front end.
