A ClojureScript interface to Facebook's React.
Om allows users to represent their UIs simply as EDN. Because ClojureScript data is immutable data, Om can always rapidly re-render the UI from the root. Thus Om UIs are out of the box snapshotable and undoable and these operations have no implementation complexity and little overhead.
(ns example
(:require [om.core :as om :include-macros true]
[om.dom :as dom :include-macros true]))
(defn widget [data]
(om/component
(dom/div nil "Hello world!")))
(om/root {} widget (.getElementById js/document "some-id"))
The repo includes several simple examples you can build yourself. If
you view the project.clj
you will see their build
identifiers. Assuming you have Leiningen
installed, to build an example run:
lein cljsbuild once build-id
Then open the corresponding index.html
in your favorite browser.
For a more fleshed-out example, please see the Om implementation of TodoMVC exists here.
There's no commitment yet to an API. Still, the code has fairly verbose docstrings for the existing functionality.
There is a conceptual overview that we recommend reading as there are some design choices in Om that make it quite different from other client side solutions and even React itself.
Om is not opinionated about HTML syntax, third parties can provide the
preferred flavors over the React.DOM
api. Alternative syntaxes will
be listed here:
- sablono, Hiccup-style
Om is pre-alpha software.
Make sure you have Leiningen installed.
Your project.clj
should include something like the following:
(defproject foo "0.1.0"
...
:dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.5.1"]
[org.clojure/clojurescript "0.0-2138"]
[om "0.1.5"]]
...)
For local development your lein-cljsbuild settings should look something like this:
:cljsbuild {
:builds [{:id "dev"
:source-paths ["src"]
:compiler {
:output-to "main.js"
:output-dir "out"
:optimizations :none
:source-map true}}]}
Your local development markup should look something like the following:
<html>
<body>
<div id="some-id"></div>
<script src="http://fb.me/react-0.8.0.js"></script>
<script src="out/goog/base.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="main.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">goog.require("main.core");</script>
</body>
</html>
For production your lein-cljsbuild settings should look something like this:
:cljsbuild {
:builds [{:id "release"
:source-paths ["src"]
:compiler {
:output-to "main.js"
:optimizations :advanced
:pretty-print false
:preamble ["react/react.min.js"]
:externs ["react/externs/react.js"]
:closure-warnings
{:non-standard-jsdoc :off}}}]}
This will generate a single file main.js
.
No pull requests at this time please.
Om is still in the design phase so enhancements are low priority. However, bug reports are welcome for the existing functionality.
For a sense of where Om is going the existing issues give a rough idea.
