A simple, easy to use library for React development in ClojureScript.

Theoriginal author has kindly agreed to transfer ownership of this project to Nosco. We're using hx in production and don't expect any breaking changes, but we are fixing small issues and minor quality of life improvements as we find them.

Development from theoriginal author has moved tohelix. Helix is the latest version of hx, with some breaking changes (no hiccup parser, slightly different hooks API, and a focus on compile-time semantics).

(nsmy-app.core  (:require [hx.react:as hx:refer [defnc]]            [hx.hooks:as hooks]            ["react-dom":as react-dom]));; `defnc` creates a function that takes a props object and returns React;; elements. You may use it just like any normal React component.(defncMyComponent [{:keys [initial-name]}];; use React Hooks for state management  (let [[name update-name] (hooks/useState initial-name)]    [:<>     [:div"Hello"       [:span {:style {:font-weight"bold"}} name]"!"]     [:div [:input {:on-change #(update-name (-> % .-target .-value))}]]]))(react-dom/render;; hx/f transforms Hiccup into a React element.;; We only have to use it when we want to use hiccup outside of `defnc` / `defcomponent`  (hx/f [MyComponent {:initial-name"React in CLJS"}])  (. js/document getElementById"app"))

You'll want to make sure you have the latest version ofreact, and whateverrenderer you are targeting (e.g.react-dom).

npm i react react-dom

If you want to use the React Hooks API (hx.hooks), you'll need to ensureyou are using React 16.8 or later.

hx is meant to make it simple, easy and fun to useReact.jswithin ClojureScript. It is your bridge to the wide world of React.js inidiomatic CLJS.

The library is split into (currently) three sections, which you can feel free tomix as your project sees fit:

1. A hiccup interpreter. Takes in[:div {:style {:color "red"}} [:span "foo"]] andspits outReact.createElement calls.

2. Helpers for creating components.defnc anddefcomponent help us writeplain React.js components in idiomatic ClojureScript.

3. Helpers for using React Hooks.

No opinionated state management, no custom rendering queue. Use it to buildyour awesome opinionated async reactive immutable app framework.hx is justa Clojure-y interface to creating plain, unadulterated React components.
