Trying to make sense of something. I have followed the examples on the reagent site, for the text boxes that update an atom. but when I use them, the text boxes do not accept input. This is really basic probably, but I can't find a good search term.

Anyone have any advice?

@shawx538 can you show a code snippet of what you are trying

@gadfly361

(defn about-page []
  (let [small-example (reagent/atom "Sandford")]
    [:div
       [:input {:type "text"
                :value @small-example
                :on-change #(reset! small-example (-> % .-target .-value))}]
       [:h1 @small-example]]))

@shawx538 https://github.com/reagent-project/reagent-cookbook/blob/master/basics/component-level-state/README.md

This is a test piece of code, trying to get any text input to work

The problem is you're making a reagent atom inside the render function, so it is recreated every render .. you need to use a form-2 component... Take a look at link I sent you, goes over this exact problem

ah

I see now

Thank you

Np
