is there a simple way to tag an html element to have react not update it?

you probably have to make it a proper component. then you can make shouldComponentUpdate always return false

thanks @rgdelato -- I just figured out just that need. 🙂

wait.. if a subcomponent has no props, it should never be updated

right?

so especially for browser components, there shouldn't be a need to take action

it does have some properties

I guess re-frame makes reagent components for all functions in viewer.views

so I need to figure out how to get a handle to that component and tell it not to update

what is viewer.views?

@mikepence,I'm guessing a component you created?

automatically through re-frame, I believe

AFAIK re-frame is not concerned with views at all

reagent does create a component whenever you use one [my-component]

that seems to be correct

guess I need to go read the reagent docs 🙂
