I think I can use a prefer-method but haven't gotten to it yet 😅

I still don't understand why my https://github.com/djblue/portal/blob/master/src/portal/runtime/jvm/client.clj#L76-L77 method isn't preferred :thinking_face:, any ideas?

The main feature this supports is deref-ing the result of open to get the current selected value back into your runtime repl environment

https://github.com/djblue/portal#portal-atom

yeah, I like that, also being able to swap/reset is nice

I'm starting to add this to my user / cljs.user namespaces

(def portal-instance nil)

(defn portal
  "Open a Portal window and register a tap handler for it. The result can be
  treated like an atom."
  []
  (let [p (portal/open portal-instance)]
    (set! portal-instance p)
    (add-tap #'portal/submit)
    p))

the clj version

(def portal-instance (atom nil))

(defn portal
  "Open a Portal window and register a tap handler for it. The result can be
  treated like an atom."
  []
  (let [p ((jit portal.api/open) @portal-instance)]
    (reset! portal-instance p)
    (add-tap (jit portal.api/submit))
    p))

so I can start with (user/portal), or get results back out with @(user/portal)

@U1G869VNV I had a better look, this is coming from clojure.pprint/simple-dispatch, not from print-method...

you might be interested in https://github.com/lambdaisland/data-printers , even if only for inspiration. There are multiple print implementations across clj/cljs to reckon with

BTW loving that I can do this

(tap> (bean clojure.pprint/simple-dispatch))

You can all call bean on any object from the command palette 👌

Just in case you already tap the value out without calling bean on it
