[:h2 "A new way of importing React"]
[:p new-in-alpha "Reagent now takes advantage of
ClojureScripts new way of packaging JavaScript dependencies.
That means that you no longer have to include React in your
HTML, nor should you use " [:code ":preamble"] ". Instead,
Reagent depends on the " [:code "cljsjs/react"] " library."]
[:p "If you want to use another version of React, you can do
that in two ways. In both cases youll have to
exclude " [:code "cljsjs/react"] " by using
e.g " [:code "[reagent \"0.5.0-alpha3\" :exclusions [cljsjs/react]]"]
" in the " [:code ":dependencies"] " section of your "
[:code "project.clj"] "."]
[:p "You can then add e.g " [:code "[cljsjs/react-with-addons
\"0.12.2-4\"]"] " as a dependency. Or you can add a file
named " [:code "cljsjs/react.cljs"] ", containing
just " [:code "(ns cljsjs.react)"] ", to your project and then
import React in some other way."]
[:p "Reagent now requires ClojureScript 0.0-2816 or later."]
[:h2 "Splitting atoms"]
[:p "Reagent now has a simple way to make reusable components
that edit part of a parents state: "]
[:p " The new " [:code "wrap"] "
function combines two parts a simple value, and a callback
for when that value should change into one value, that
happens to look as an atom. "]
[:p "The first argument to " [:code "wrap"] " should be the
value that will be returned by " [:code "@the-result"] "."]
[:p "The second argument should be a function, that will be
passed the new value whenever the result is changed (with
optional extra arguments to " [:code "wrap"] " prepended, as
with " [:code "partial"] ")."]
[:p "Usage can look something like this:"]
[demo-component {:comp parent
:src [:pre ns-src
(s/src-of [:person :input :name-edit
:parent])]}]
[:p "Here, the " [:code "parent"] " component controls the
global state, and delegates editing the name
to " [:code "name-edit"] ". " [:code "name-edit"] " in turn
delegates the actual input of first and last names
to " [:code "input"] "."]
[:p [:b "Note: "] "The result from " [:code "wrap"] " is just a
simple and light-weight value, that happens to look like an
atom it doesnt by itself trigger any re-renderings
like " [:code "reagent.core/atom"] " does. That means that it
is probably only useful to pass from one component to another,
and that the callback function in the end must cause a ”real”
atom to change."]
[:h2 "Cursors"]
[:p new-in-alpha "Reagent has another way of isolating part of
a data structure in an atom: " [:code "reagent.core/cursor"] ".
Using the same state as in the previous example, usage now looks
like this:"]
[demo-component {:comp cursor-parent
:src (s/src-of [:cursor-name-edit
:cursor-parent])}]
[:p new-in-alpha "Cursors can now also be generalized to use
any transformation of data from and to a source atom (or many
atoms, for that matter). To use that, you pass a function
to " [:code "cursor"] " instead of an atom, as in this
example:"]
[demo-component {:comp cursor-parent
:src (s/src-of [:person-get-set
:get-set-parent])}]
[:p "The function passed to " [:code "cursor"] " will be called
with one argument to get data (it is passed the key, i.e the
second argument to " [:code "cursor"] "), and two arguments
when the cursor is changed (then it is passed the key and the
new value)."]
[:p "The getter function can reference one or many Reagent
atoms (or other cursors). If the cursor is used in a component
the getter function will re-run to change the value of the
cursor just like a Reagent component does."]
[:h2 "Values and references"]
[:p "So whats the difference between wraps and cursors? Why
have both?"]
[:p "A " [:code "wrap"] " is just a value that happens to look
like an " [:code "atom"] ". It doesnt change unless you tell
it to. It is a very lightweight combination of value and a
callback to back-propagate changes to the value. It relies only
on Reagents equality test
in " [:code ":should-component-update"] " to avoid unnecessary
re-rendering."]
[:p "A " [:code "cursor"] ", on the other hand, will always be
up-to-date with the value of the source atom. In other words,
it acts a reference to part of the value of the source.
Components that " [:code "deref"] " cursors are re-rendered
automatically, in exactly the same way as if
they " [:code "deref"] " a normal Reagent atom (unnecessary
re-rendering is avoided by checking if the cursor's value has
changed using " [:code "identical?"] ")."]
[:h2 "Faster rendering"]
[:p "Reagent used to wrap all ”native” React components in an
extra Reagent component, in order to keep track of how deep in
the component tree each component was (to make sure that
un-necessary re-renderings were avoided)."]
[:p "Now, this extra wrapper-component isnt needed anymore,
which means quite a bit faster generation of native React
elements. This will be noticeable if you generate html strings,
or if you animate a large number of components."]
[:h2 "Simple React integration"]
[:p "Since Reagent doesn't need those wrappers anymore it is
also now easier to mix native React components with Reagent
ones. Theres a new convenience
function, " [:code "reagent.core/create-element"] ", that
simply calls " [:a {:href
cel-link} [:code "React.createElement"]] ". This,
unsurprisingly, creates React elements, either from the result
of " [:code "React.createClass"] " or html tag names."]
[:p [:code "reagent.core/as-element"] " turns Reagents hiccup
forms into React elements, that can be passed to ordinary React
components. The combination of " [:code "create-element"] "
and " [:code "as-element"] " allows mixing and matching of
Reagent and React components."]
[:p "For an example, here are four different ways to achieve
the same thing:"]
[demo-component {:comp integration
:src (s/src-of [:integration])}]
[:p new-in-alpha "If you don't need/want this kind of low-level
control over interaction with javascript React, you can also
use the new function " [:code "adapt-react-class"] ", that will
take any React class, and turn it into something that can be
called from Reagent directly. The example from above would then
become:"]
[demo-component {:comp adapted
:src (s/src-of [:div-adapter :adapted])}]
[:p new-in-alpha "You can also do the opposite: call Reagent
components from JavaScript React (for example from JSX). For
this purpose, you'd use another adapter
" [:code "reactify-component"] " like this:"]
[demo-component {:comp could-be-jsx
:src (s/src-of [:exported :react-comp
:could-be-jsx])}]
[:p "The " [:code "exported"] " component will be called with a
single argument: the React " [:code "props"] ", converted to a
ClojureScript " [:code "map"] "."]
[:h2 "More equality"]
[:p "Reagent used to have a rather complicated way of
determining when a component should be re-rendered in response
to changing arguments. Now the rule is much simpler: a
component will be re-rendered if the old and new arguments are
not equal (i.e. they are compared with a
simple " [:code "="] ")."]
[:p [:strong "Note: "] "This is a breaking change! It means
that you can no longer pass infinite " [:code "seq"] "s to a
component."]
[:h2 "React 0.12"]
[:p "Reagent now comes with, and requires, React 0.12.2. To
mirror the changes in API in React, some Reagent functions have
gotten new names: "]
[:ul
[:li [:code "render-component"] " is now " [:code "render"]]
[:li [:code "render-component-to-string"] " is
now " [:code "render-to-string"]]
[:li [:code "as-component"] " is now " [:code "as-element"]]]
[:p "The old names still work, though."]
[:p "There is also a new
function, " [:code "render-to-static-markup"] ", that works
just like render-to-string, except that it doesnt add
React-specific attributes."]
[:h2 "Easier live-programming"]
[:p "It is now easier than before to integrate Reagent with
e.g. the rather excellent " [:a {:href
figwheel-link} "figwheel"] ", since " [:code "render"] " now
will cause the entire component tree to update (by-passing the
equality checks)."]

figwheel."]])]])
