using figwheel #10

Closed batwicket closed 9 years ago

I would like to use figwheel with the example. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Just starting out, but live development might be a big win for the toolbox. From http://blog.michielborkent.nl/blog/2014/09/25/figwheel-keep-Om-turning/, it also seems like hot code reload is a requirement that might cause subtle issues. Digging into it, but i'm new at this..

I've got figwheel integrated, but still some, not unexpected, issues. Mostly changes to the example project.clj and addition of some client-side code.

Nice, I'll be back from vacation tomorrow, looking forward to using figwheel with the library. Thanks :-)

I'm looking at how to handle preservation of state across changes.

The standard www examples hold the app state centrally in a def and simply replace it with a defonce.

If i understand it correctly, each component sets its :state-fn to a function, typically mk-state, which returns an initialized atom to comp/make-component. The state is in a local variable which i think is re-initialized each time so this does not work.

If it was in a defonce local to the namespace and resolve was used to ensure it was only initialized once in mk-state perhaps it is ok.. just checking. I can submit another pull request if this approach is ok.
