the error points to some code from shadow-cljs so I'll see what they know

redownloading the template fixed the issue but still having problems reflecting mutations in the dom

Can you show the errors?

original error is gone, no error for the persistent one, it just isn't reflecting changes in the dom.

uuugggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh surprise, surprise, I'm just an idiot. It works from a root component, but not one I make a factory of. I don't understand why the dom only works from root, but at least I got this crap working again. Now I have to relearn how to appropriately build and pass data between components such that it respects mutations. oh well

What do you mean by mutations here? Fulcro's defmutation? You mean that transact!-Ing a mutation only works inside the root component?!

yes. I'm not sure why unless that's how they're meant to work or I'm just doing something wrong.

ok I finally got it working searching by id. For some reason update wasn't finding the data in state in the mutation so I had to reform the data structure to include an associated id. taking breaks isn't enough to keep my brain from turning to mush every time I come back lol.
