Hi Happy New Year everyone! I have made a lot of progress using Fulcro. I am trying to make a child of a child, initializing data from the top child's fields. I can't seem to make this work -- I keep getting A Fulcro component was rendered outside of a parent context but I used defsc to create the component. Can anyone give me some examples to look at? Thanks in advance!

did you use comp/factory?

@hadilsabbagh18 probably this: http://book.fulcrologic.com/#_the_function_as_a_child_pattern

I'm also having issues with a router; apparently the props are not being passed to the router targets; I guess i dont quite understand how it works

((comp/factory videos/Root) props) ;;<< renders OK
(ui-root-router router) << has router-targets videos/Root, but the videos/Root component doesnt refresh with the data it askeed for in the query

@mping Compose initial state and query to root, or make sure you put the proper state in the client db manually. db generation cannot happen if you don’t compose things to root…also matters that you properly compose the query. Basically: if something like that doesn’t work it probably means you messed up composing query/initial state, or ident is funky somehow.

well this is a weird case, because I'm pushing data from an electron main process to the renderer

I guess I have to say that a component needs to be updated; gonna try transacting with {:refresh [query]}

didn't work 😕

@tony.kay my queries are ok, Im logging stuff and the data shows

its just the router target component that is not being re-rendered

trace through the app state and make sure the tree makes sense that you’re expecting

render is the following: 1. Convert the db (from root or the component being refreshed) into a tree 2. Pass the props to the root (or component being updated).

that’s it…either your query is wrong or your state is

there is nothing else

but why does it work if I create the component manually, without the router?

in the example I gave:

((comp/factory videos/Root) props) ;;<< renders OK
(ui-root-router router) << has router-targets videos/Root

so its basically the same component on both of them, and the first one always re-render when data is updated

the router one doesn't

I use the router in many many apps. It works. I don’t know what else to tell you. I cannot guess what you’re doing wrong. You could post your source and one of us could possibly point out the problem.

I appreciate your help, I'm pretty sure the error is on my side

here's the code https://github.com/mping/observideo-app/blob/master/src/electron/com/observideo/renderer/components/root.cljs#L83

this is a project I'm using to learn fulcro so there's probably alot of things that are not idiomatic

Give each of your router targets an :initial-state {}

@mping ^^^

well, the video target won’t work with that, since your ident is dependent on data…
