Are you using Reagent 0.9.0?

0.8.1

Well there you go. 🙂 According to git blame, :constructor has been there for only 3 months, and 0.8.1 is much older.

Thank you! 🙂

No problem. Oh, the documentation page itself says "Reagent 0.9.0-rc3". But I cannot find any way to switch it to a different version.

Yes, my bad - I didn't check that 😞

Anyway I just wanted to be sure that I'm not using a deprecated :get-initial-state

Why is it deprecated? I cannot find any information about it.

The same doc says `State can be initialized using constructor, which matches React.Component class, or using getInitialState which matches old React createClass function and is now implemented by Reagent for compatibility.`

But it doesn't mean that getInitialState is deprecated. Old, yes. Deprecated, no.

That's why I was trying to change to :constructor . The words "old" and "compatibility" triggered me 🙂

In fact, the official documentation still mentions it for the situations when you cannot use ES6 classes: https://reactjs.org/docs/react-without-es6.html#setting-the-initial-state

Thank you for pointing me at that doc. I've checked https://reactjs.org/docs/react-component.html and didn't find any mentions of getInitialState

Cljdoc has docs for 0.8.1: https://cljdoc.org/d/reagent/reagent/0.8.1/api/reagent.core

Oh, that's neat, thanks!

I've updated the readme to have separate links for 0.8 and 0.9 docs, there are several things in current docs that don't work with 0.8

As React docs say, using React without ES6 requires create-react-class which 0.8 uses but 0.9 will instead create ES6 classes
