@alandipert Yes, it is confusing how the compilation model in cljs and the REPL can co-exist. But I will go for your advice. I also learned to love the debux lib that is simple and powerful for pretty printing stuff in the console.

i just wrote this time syncing algo for javelin - https://github.com/thedavidmeister/javelin-timesync - for anyone who wants to sync UIs across devices

Is there any way to save the state of a Javelin cell when boot-reload reloads the JS code? The reason is that I am storing responses of REST calls in a cell and do not want to call the REST endpoint everytime I hit Save in my editor.

@vschepik hoplon.storage-cell

you can stick it in session storage or local storage

is that what you're asking?

Yes, that looks good!

I will try that

(defonce state (hoplon.storage-atom/local-storage (j/cell nil) ::state))
(defonce nonce (hoplon.storage-atom/local-storage (j/cell nil) ::nonce))
(defonce token (hoplon.storage-atom/local-storage (j/cell nil) ::token))

this kind of thing

also you can memoize functions that return cells and get the same cell every time

you might find that handy

OK. It's not clear to me what boot-reload reloads. But I will try what you have suggested.

@alandipert ^^

That was exactly what I was looking for 😃 Thanks!

another thing i will do is comment out the code that fetches the value, and hardcode it

I did this in a different non-Hoplon project, too. But for that I had Emacs connected to a cljs repl in order to fetch the value directly into the editor. With Hoplon I had problems to get the cljs repl running but now it works.

oh, cool

defonce is probably also better because using local storage or hardcoding require the saved object to be print-readable

Yes, defonce is great.

By the way what is the namespace of a page?

it's not a macro or a function, it's compiled to ns by the hoplon boot task. in hoplon.boot-hoplon.compiler

well, an ns and conversion to .html

OK, so what would the ns of (page "index.html") be?

i think something like hoplon.app-pages.-index.html

I am asking because I want to switch to that namespace in the repl.

you can see what it generates with boot hoplon show -f to see the fileset after hoplon task runs

Great

it might be better with a repl involved to not use page or .hl extension, and keep things vanilla cljs

OK. Perhaps I don't need the repl since local-storage will help me

https://github.com/hoplon/hoplon#example is an example

Now I see the ns expression. Thanks. I will check out what a good workflow could be for me. Thanks!
