NOOB question - getting data from server to allow cljs to manipulate it #1

Hi Zach, thanks for this simple starting point. I am afraid that I am missing one element. I want to read some data files into my application at the start - I presume that I will use clj for this. However, I then want the data in those files to drive how the pages look. How do I get that data from the clj side of the app to the cljs side of the app. I suspect this is straight forward but I am simply missing that part.

Would I be wrong in thinking that the util.cljc might have some solution for this?

Thanks

Martin

This response is waaaay late because github never notified me, sorry about that. There are many ways to send data to the cljs side. For example, in dynadoc i needed to send a map of data to the client side, so i actually embedded it into the html server-side and then the client (CLJS) side reads it out of a div and merges it into the local state. Swapping the local state triggers the UI to update automatically.
