So I’m trying to render a react-based JS lib in my Reagent app. Unfortunately said JS lib expects to be passed a DOM element to which it can render itself. How can I build a Reagent component that handles this?

You can use the :ref attribute to capture a reference to the DOM element once the component has been added to the DOM. Then you can either do something with it immediately or store it in a r/atom. https://github.com/reagent-project/reagent/blob/master/doc/FAQ/UsingRefs.md

Cool, thanks 🙂

No problem. 🙂 :ref is really useful.
