I use cljs/eval-str and show the result in a div

The problem I have is that I can’t prevent users of the web-app from evaluating infinite series that they’ve input into the textarea…

Is there a way to force-kill the infinite evaluation? (like hitting Ctrl-C when hitting an infinite loop in a command-line REPL?)

well HOW do you display it in a div? I assume pr-str? THAT is were your infinite sequence is realized

so that is the problem you need to solve

eg. you can set *print-length* to limit the amount of items printed

not exactly sure how you do that in self-hosted but something to look into

No, I simply do this:

(defonce evaluated-output (r/atom nil))

(defn compile-it [code]
  (let [options  {:eval cljs/js-eval
                  :load (partial boot/load c-state)}
        callback (fn [result]
                   (reset! evaluated-output (:value result)))]
    (cljs/eval-str c-state code "[demo-bootstrap-cljs]" options callback)))

[:pre>code "Output: " [:strong (str @evaluated-output)]]

(str @evaluated-output)

Yes, I see what you’re saying now

should be using pr-str in either case but str is the same in this case

(binding [*print-length* 5] (pr-str @evaluated-output)) might be enough

I’m not clear what the difference it, but I will put pr-str then

pr-str produces EDN output

str calls toString (which will not always be EDN)

That works perfectly! You’re awesome, @U05224H0W Thanks so much!!!
