I have a file server.cljs that uses express to serve. I am squint run ning and it has a function like this:

(defn component [req] #html [:p (:name req.query)])

The result from that call looks like this when printed:

Html { s: '<p>Bob</p>' }

If I send that with (.send res result) it doesn't do what I want (which is for the browser to receive "<p>Bob</p>") but rather sends a JSON object with the "s" key because Express sees the object I guess. Is this expected behaviour that I'm required to unpack the actual HTML from the "s" key in the object? The examples I see on the squint repo suggest I am doing something wrong but I can't figure it out.

Call str on it

I should update the examples

borkdude 2024-09-17T08:53:09.318759Z

you should "finalize" the html using str

borkdude 2024-09-17T08:53:28.995789Z

this mechanism exists to avoid double encoding of nested html stuff

Ahh great, thanks!

Felix, if you can get me a Squint sticker back to Stockholm, that would make me super happy!
