Yeah, I’d think so. Also, it is more compatible. That’s a lot of upside, but you’d expect the tradeoffs as you say.

is it acceptable to swap an ratom from outside a component function? i.e. if info comes in from a socket, swap it right into app state?

@ajs yeah, i think so

quick question all - i have a vanilla hiccup form e.g [:div "Loading..."] that I need to turn into an html string to give to a library i'm using - is there anything in reagent to do this? (i followed render down but it only seems to render it into a dom root)

i use the component in other places in my app so would like to avoid having a string version and a hiccup version

@oliy reagent.dom.server/render-to-string, though note that is is relatively heavy way to compile hiccup as this will load React-dom/server

Depending on what your are trying do to, integration with some non-React libs is possible even with, reagent.core/render, I recently used this with Leaflet custom Controls.

@juhoteperi kiitos paljon that's perfect, i only need to do this once. unfortunately the library only accepts a string, because it does some sort of frankenstein string/replace on it

@oliy If the app already uses Reagent, reagent.dom.server is probably fine, if not, you could look into Hiccups which implements this without React

yeah it's a full blown reagent app already, i wanted to avoid pulling in another library just for this one little thing!

@oliy Perhaps you could use a more React-friendly library instead of one that is doing string mashing?

😛 I realize that there are times when that isn’t a choice.

we're pretty invested in this one @mikerod! it's just for a tiny loading indicator, nothing major

@oliy Yeah, I thought perhaps that was the case
