Hi all, this threading macro has saved my life a couple times, yet I have no idea what it's doing: (-> % .-target .-value)

what do the .-target and .-value (presumably) functions do?

@js I am assuming you are using this within say an input's on-change event. The .- syntax is a way to access a property on a javascript object. So for the on-change, you can use .-target to get the thing in the dom that is firing the event (which would be an input), and then you can use .-value to access the value of that input (i.e., what you just typed in the input)

ah. so it's fetching the value of the event's target, not actually setting anything

yeah, that's just a getter

I see. I'd not known about .-

well awesome. thanks, I'll be able to sleep tonight, now!

no problem
