is it possible to use reagent within a static html?

I'm trying to make a databaseless, serverless wiki.

@virmundi “is it possible to use reagent on a static page?” -> yeah, totally. Many websites/apps are static pages that get dynamic content from servers/APIs “will other wiki visitors see the articles I write?” -> not unless those articles are saved to some server that can tell the other visitors about it.

or maybe I’m misunderstanding your question. “databaseless, serverless” seems like a red flag, but maybe you mean that you’ll use someone else’s database/server, something like Google Firebase

or maybe you’re planning some kind of peer-to-peer meshy thing over webRTC

No *-less is my goal. I'm going to use HTML5 API to read files from a relatives paths to the index.html

I tried to use the secretary API, but it keeps failing to find the paths. The base URL is <file://Users/something/something/index.html>

@virmundi so this like a local wiki that (assuming I’m a user) exists on my computer’s filesystem?

(rather than the public internet?)

Yep, or a local NFS.

gotchya

When I use secretary, I get an error that it can't render nil.

The URL is file:///Users/jdavenpo/Documents/Code/stawiki/resources/public/index.html#/

For example, (secretary/defroute "#" [] (session/put! :current-page #'home-page))

I guess the question is really can I use secretary in a static file.

I’ve never used secretary, but that seems like the kind of thing it would do

I know, right? I know that Angular is fine with such URLs.

you could spin up a little local static webserver to get a proper http:// url

I know. I don't want the battery drain.

something like https://www.npmjs.com/package/local-web-server , (maybe the clojure world has its own equivalent)

hmm

yeah, if you want to just keep it around and editable long-term I can see how that would be annoying

I've looked to see if anyone else has this. Nope.

Everyone uses a server. It does make things easier.

But I got to do it the hard way. On the plus side I get the to know CLJS and CL.

OSX used to come with a running Apache instance, but it doesn’t anymore so you can’t use that

(you can still start apache but that doesn’t meet your criteria)

I know how to make a compojure server. I'm trying something different.

sure

maybe poke around in the secretary source, or file an issue over there about file:/// urls

in any case this isn’t really a #C0620C0C8 issue

I agree. Thanks for the time

good luck! maybe someone more experienced will know more than I do 😛
