Clojurescript support #4

Open kennyjwilli opened 8 years ago

kennyjwilli commented 8 years ago

This library would be the perfect fit for Clojurescript. My use case is creating complex tree graphs.

stathissideris commented 8 years ago

Most definitely, I'm actually planning to do this, but because ClojureScript support ideally also means interactivity, I would like it to support React out of the box, so I need to plan this properly. Having interactive visualisations means that it's no longer a simple matter of translating the syntax and measuring/laying out the elements.

Btw, if you've already created any tree graphs with the Clojure version, would you be able to donate an example? I could add it to the documentation (with credit!)

I have not used it in Clojure. We had to write a custom solution for creating tree graphs in Clojurescript. It looks like dali would make creating these sorts of graphs a lot easier.

BTW, I suggest you look into Rum for adding Clojurescript support as it allows the developer to control how they want to manage state.

Lot of time has passed since this issue was opened, hopefully someone is still around to provide some overview. Is the work that @stathissideris has done on cljs branch still relevant? What issues prevent dali from being used in Clojurescript?

I'm interested to use dali as hiccup -> SVG transformer, and layout features look very useful. I'm not that interested in interactivity and out-of-box support for React framework as there are too many different ones.
