namespace are now called "[:code "$"]" and "[:code "$!"]"
respectively (the old names clashed with bootstrapped
ClojureScript)."]

function, "[:code "reagent.ratom/reaction"]", "[:code "reagent.ratom/run!"]"
and "[:code "reagent.ratom/make-reaction"]" are now lazy and
executed asynchronously. Previously, reactions used to
execute immediately whenever the atoms they depended on
changed. This could cause performance issues in code with
expensive reactions and frequent updates to state. However,
this change may break existing code that depends on the
timing of side-effects from running
reactions. "[:code "flush"]" can be used to force outstanding
reactions to run at a given time."]
[:li "Reactions now only trigger updates of dependent
components and other reactions if they produce a new result,
compared with "[:code "="]".
Previously, "[:code "identical?"]" was used."]
[:li [:code "next-tick"]" is now guaranteed to execute its
argument before the next render (more on that below.)"]]]
[:h2 "track: Use any function as a reactive value"]
[:p [:code "reagent.core/track"] " takes a function, and
optional arguments for that function, and gives a
derefable (i.e ”atom-like”) value, containing whatever is
returned by that function. If the tracked function depends on a
Reagent atom, it is called again whenever that atom changes
just like a Reagent component function. If the value returned
by " [:code "track"] " is used in a component, the component is
re-rendered when the value returned by the function changes. "]
[:p "In other words, " [:code "@(r/track foo x)"] " gives the
same result as " [:code "(foo x)"] " but in the first case,
foo is only called again when the atom(s) it depends on
changes."]

changes. Every " [:code "name-comp"] " only renders again when
needed, etc."]

three ways:" ]
[:ul
[:li "It can be used as a cache for an expensive function,
that is automatically updated if that function depends on Reagent
atoms (or other tracks, cursors, etc)."]
[:li "It can also be used to limit the number of times a
component is re-rendered. The user of " [:code "track"] " is
only updated when the functions result changes. In other
words, you can use track as a kind of generalized, read-only
cursor."]
[:li "Every use of " [:code "track"] " with the same arguments
will only result in one execution of the function. E.g the two
uses of " [:code "@(r/track people)"] " in the example above
will only result in one call to the " [:code "people"] "
function (both initially, and when the state atom changes)."]]
[:p "If you've been using "[:code "reagent.ratom/reaction"]"
etc, "[:code "track"]" should be quite familiar. The main
difference is that "[:code "track"]" uses named functions and
variables, rather than depending on closures, and that you
dont have to manage their creation manually (since tracks are
automatically cached and reused)."]
[:p [:b "Note: "] "The first argument to "[:code "track"]"
should be a named function, i.e not an anonymous one. Also,
beware of lazy data sequences: dont use deref (i.e ”@”) with
the "[:code "for"]" macro, unless wrapped
in "[:code "doall"]" (just like in Reagent components). "]
[:h2 "track!"]
[:p [:code "track!"]" is another new function. It works just
like "[:code "track"]", except that the function passed is
invoked immediately, and continues to be invoked whenever any

continue to run until you stop it, using "[:code "(r/dispose!
logger)"]"."]
[:h2 "with-let: Handling destruction"]
[:p "Reagent now has a new way of writing components that need
to do something when they are no longer around:
the "[:code "with-let"]" macro. It looks just
like " [:code "let"] " but the bindings only execute once,
and it takes an optional " [:code "finally"] " clause, that
runs when the component is no longer rendered."]
[:p "For example: here's a component that sets up an event
listener for mouse moves, and stops listening when the
component is removed."]

[:p "The same thing could of course be achieved with React
lifecycle methods, but that would be a lot more verbose."]

with "[:code "track"]" (and other reactive contexts). For
example, the component above could be written as: "]
[demo-component {:comp tracked-pos

:tracked-pos])}]
[:p "The " [:code "finally"] " clause will run
when " [:code "mouse-pos"] " is no longer tracked anywhere, i.e
in this case when " [:code "tracked-pos"] "is unmounted."]

returning functions from components that keep local state, and
may be a bit easier to read."]

of "[:code "rswap!"]" and some optional logging. This is the
only place where application state actually changes the rest
is pure functions."]
[:p "The actual event handling is done
in "[:code "event-handler"]", which takes state and event as
parameters, and returns a new state (events are represented by
vectors here, with an event name in the first position)."]
[:p "All the UI components have to do is then just to return
some markup, and set up routing of events through the "[:code "emit"]"
function. "]
[:p "This architecture basically divides the application into
two logical functions: "]
[:ul
[:li "The first takes state and an event as input, and returns
the next state."]
[:li "The other takes state as input, and returns a UI
definition."]]
[:p "This simple application could probably just as well use
the common "[:code "swap!"]" instead of "[:code "rswap!"]",
but using "[:code "swap!"]" in Reacts event handlers may
trigger warnings due to unexpected return values, and may
cause severe headaches if an event handler called by "[:code "emit"]"
itself emits a new event (that would result in lost
events, and much confusion)."]

browser specific code, and HTML generation respectively."]

future."]

directly in JSX."]

Reagents hiccup forms, using this syntax: "[:code "[:>

convenient than using "[:code "adapt-react-class"]". "]

node.js. If global React is not
defined (i.e "[:code "React"]", "[:code "ReactDOM"]"

use "[:code "require"]" instead, to get react, react-dom and
react-dom/server from npm."]]

invoked immediately "[:b "after"]" the next rendering."]]
