How To Detect "Enter" Keypress in Reagent? - clojurescript

Given the following code:
[:input {:type "text"
:value (:text #app-state)
:on-change (fn [e]
(if (= 31 (.-keyCode e))
(println "ENTER")
(println "NOT ENTER")))}]
How to change the if condition so that enter keypresses can be distinguished from normal keys? All properties in e except target seem to be null.

that's how to fix it:
you should listen to :on-key-press (rather than :on-change),
because "enter" doesn't trigger :on-change event (it obviously doesn't change the text)
key code for "enter" is 13, not 31
use charCode instead of keyCode (not an expert in js, but keyCode doesn't work for me in firefox)
[:input {:type "text"
:value (:text #app-state)
:on-key-press (fn [e]
(println "key press" (.-charCode e))
(if (= 13 (.-charCode e))
(println "ENTER")
(println "NOT ENTER")))}]

With key.
[:input
{:on-key-press
(fn [e]
(if (= (.-key e) "Enter")
(.log js/console "Enter")
(.log js/console "Not Enter")))}]
Also of interest is :on-key-up and :on-key-down.

Problem opening files with the FileReader API

This has been bugging me for days. I have a web app that lets the user open documents from their local machine. I'm using the FileReader API for the first time.
It works correctly except for one use case.
Open a document file.
Programmatically create a new document, overwriting the existing one.
Open the same file as above.
When this sequence is executed, the second attempt fails silently (except that the file is not loaded).
Here is an example Reagent program (created from the figwheel-main template) that illustrates the problem.
(ns a-bad-button.core
(:require [reagent.core :as r]))
(def app-state-ratom (r/atom nil))
(defn new-doc []
{:doc-text "Some MINIMAL text to play with."})
(defn add-new-button
[aps]
(fn [aps]
[:input.tree-demo--button
{:type "button"
:value "New"
:on-click #(reset! aps (new-doc))}]))
(defn load-doc-data!
[aps file-data]
(swap! aps assoc :doc-text file-data))
(defn handle-file-open-selection
[aps evt]
(let [js-file-reader (js/FileReader.)]
(set! (.-onload js-file-reader)
(fn [evt] (load-doc-data! aps (-> evt .-target .-result))))
(.readAsText js-file-reader (aget (.-files (.-target evt)) 0))))
(defn add-open-button
[aps]
(fn [aps]
[:div
[:input {:type "file" :id "file-open-id"
:style {:display "none"}
:on-change #(handle-file-open-selection aps %)}]
[:input {:type "button"
:value "Open"
:on-click #(.click (.getElementById js/document "file-open-id"))}]]))
(defn a-bad-button
[aps]
(fn [aps]
[:div
[:h4 "A Bad Button"]
[:p#doc-text-p (or (:doc-text #aps) "Loaded text will go here.")]
[add-new-button aps]
[add-open-button aps]]))
(defn mount! [el]
(reset! app-state-ratom (new-doc))
(r/render-component [a-bad-button app-state-ratom] el))
(defn mount-app-element []
(when-let [el (.getElementById js/document "app")]
(mount! el)))
(mount-app-element)
(defn ^:after-load on-reload []
(mount-app-element))
With println debugging messages, it appears that execution reaches the :on-click handler in the add-open-button function, but the handler, handle-file-open-selection, is never reached or executed.
The failure occurs on Safari, Opera, Brave, and Vivaldi browsers. Files open as expected on Firefox.
Has anyone seen this before and fixed it?

FileReader onload not getting fired when selecting same file in Chrome
Basically, the problem is that onChange will not trigger when selecting the same file. One workaround is to set the value of the file input before the file browser opens to something like "", to always trigger an onChange event. In your case, it could look like changing your handle-file-open-selection function to:
(defn handle-file-open-selection
[aps evt]
(let [js-file-reader (js/FileReader.)]
(set! (.-onload js-file-reader)
(fn [evt]
(load-doc-data! aps (-> evt .-target .-result))))
(.readAsText js-file-reader (aget (.-files (.-target evt)) 0))
;; add this
(set! (.-value (.getElementById js/document "file-open-id")) "")
))

re-frame: reset atom after dispatch

I have this form:
(defn input-question
[]
(let [new-question (reagent/atom "")]
(fn []
[:div
[:input {:type "text"
:value #new-question
:on-change #(reset! new-question (-> % .-target .-value))}]
[:input {:type "button"
:value "Save new question"
:on-click #(re-frame.core/dispatch [:create-question #new-question])} ] ])))
How can I reset #new-question to "" (empty string) after the dispatch?
You can use reset! on the ratom after dispatching:
#(do (re-frame.core/dispatch [:create-question #new-question])
(reset! new-question ""))
to reset it after dispatching the value.
You probably want to review the re-frame effects docs:
https://github.com/Day8/re-frame/blob/master/docs/EffectfulHandlers.md
https://github.com/Day8/re-frame/blob/master/docs/Effects.md
Note that you can also use dispatch-n:
https://github.com/Day8/re-frame/blob/master/docs/API.md#dispatch-n
and you might want to use the fn syntax instead of the #(...) shorthand function syntax:
:input {:type "button"
:value "Save new question"
:on-click (fn []
(re-frame.core/dispatch [:create-question #new-question])
(reset! new-question "")) } ]
You can also use both events and subs to keep as much logic out of your view code as possible. This means you will end up with many any events and subs, however this is by design and idiomatic to re-frame. This makes your re-frame code easier to understand, decoupled and more testable. Here is an example:
(rf/reg-fx
:save-question
(fn [question]))
;; Handle creating a question
(rf/reg-sub
:new-question-value
(fn [db _]
(get-in db [:new-question :value])))
(rf/reg-event-db
:on-new-question-change
(fn [db [_ value]]
(assoc-in db [:new-question :value] value)))
(rf/reg-event-fx
:on-save-question-click
(fn [{:keys [db]} _]
{:db (assoc-in db [:new-question :value] "")
:save-question (get-in db [:new-question :value])}))
(defn input-question
[]
(let [new-question-value (rf/subscribe [:new-question-value])
on-save-question-click #(rf/dispatch [:on-save-question-click])
on-new-question-change #(rf/dispatch [:on-new-question-change (.. % -target -value)])]
(fn []
[:div
[:input {:type "text"
:value #new-question-value
:on-change on-new-question-change}]
[:input {:type "button"
:value "Save new question"
:on-click on-save-question-click}]])))
Some extra notes about this code:
You should namespace your events and subs keys to prevent naming clashes
You should define a function and pass that into reg-fx, reg-event-db, reg-event-fx & reg-sub. Doing this can make the code more testable by allowing test code to call the function handler directly. However you can still test using Day8/re-frame-test but it's a little harder.

Reading Input With Om Next

I'm trying to understand how to read state from a text box in om.next. As I understand it, we are no longer bound/supposed to use core.async.
As a small example, consider writing in a textbox and binding it to a paragraph element, so that the text you enter automatically appears on the screen.
(def app-state (atom {:input-text "starting text"}))
(defn read-fn
[{:keys [state] :as env} key params]
(let [st #state]
(if-let [[_ v] (find st key)]
{:value v}
{:value :not-found})))
(defn mutate-fn
[{:keys [state] :as env} key {:keys [mytext]}]
(if (= 'update-text key)
{:value {:keys [:input-text]}
:action
(fn []
(swap! state assoc :input-text mytext))}
{:value :not-found}))
(defui RootView
static om/IQuery
(query [_]
[:input-text])
Object
(render [_]
(let [{:keys [input-text]} (om/props _)]
(dom/div nil
(dom/input
#js {:id "mybox"
:type "text"
:value input-text
:onChange #(om/transact! _ '[(update-text {:mytext (.-value (gdom/getElement "mybox"))})])
})
(dom/p nil input-text)))))
This doesn't work.
When firing the onChange event in the input form, the quoted expression does not grab the text from the box.
The first mutation fires and updates, but then subsequent mutations are not fired. Even though the state doesn't changed, should the query read the string from app-state and force the text to be the same?
I would make the :onChange event look like this:
:onChange (fn (_)
(let [v (.-value (gdom/getElement "mybox"))]
#(om/transact! this `[(update-text {:mytext ~v})])))
Here the value v will actually be going through. But also om/transact! needs either a component or the reconciler to be passed as its first parameter. Here I'm passing in this which will be the root component.

Cannot manipulate cursor outside of render phase

Trying react for the first time, and I want to make a simple todo list app. But every time I press enter to trigger onSubmit it says Uncaught Error: Cannot manipulate cursor outside of render phase, only om.core/transact!, om.core/update!, and cljs.core/deref operations allowed. While I think this is a very good error message, I don't know what to do.
(ns app.core
(:require [om.core :as om :include-macros true]
[sablono.core :as html :refer-macros [html]]))
(def app-state (atom
{:todos [{:todo "first"}
{:todo "second"}]
:current ""}))
(defn to-do
[data]
(om/component
(html [:li (:todo data)])))
(defn to-dos
[data]
(om/component
(html [:div
[:form {:on-submit (fn [e]
(.preventDefault e)
(om/transact! data :todos (fn [v]
(js/console.log (:current data))
(conj v (:current data)))))}
[:input {:type "text"
:placeholder "Enter some text."
:on-change (fn [e] (om/update! data :current (.. e -target -value)))}]]
[:ul
(om/build-all to-do (:todos data))]])))
(om/root to-dos app-state {:target js/document.body})
I think the problem is where you access data inside om/transact! where you should operate on v:
(:current v) instead of (:current data)
or you may try (:current #data) for most recent value of data
There are actually two issues with:
(om/transact! data :todos (fn [v]
(js/console.log (:current data))
(conj v (:current data)))))
One is what #edbond said above: you should use (:current v) rather than (:current data). The other problem, however, is that you are specifying the :todos keyword, and instead, you should simply change data itself, since :current is outside of :todos in your app-state shown. So the correct formulation would be:
(om/transact! data (fn [v]
(js/console.log (:current v))
(conj v (:current v)))))

No state info with Chrome React.js tools

I have the following ClojureScript code that uses the om library as a wrapper to React.js
(defn list-view [app owner]
(reify
om/IInitState
(init-state [_]
{:filter nil
:selected-domain nil})
om/IWillMount
(will-mount [_]
(th/poll filter-chan (fn[data]
(om/set-state! owner :filter data))))
om/IRenderState
(render-state [this state]
(let [list-data (sort (list-data (:list app) (:filter state)))]
(if (> (count list-data) 0)
(dom/div #js {:className "sidebar-module sidebar-module-inset"}
(dom/div #js {:className "bs-example well"}
(apply dom/ul #js {:className "list-group"}
(map (fn [text] (domain-list-item text (:selected-domain state) owner))
list-data))))
(dom/span nil))))))
This are the helper functions used in the code above
(defn list-data [alist filter-text ]
(filter (fn [x] (cond (empty? filter-text) false
(nil? filter-text) false
(= filter-text "*") true
:else (> (.indexOf (.toLowerCase x) filter-text) -1))) alist))
(defn domain-list-item [text selected owner]
(let [class-name (str "list-group-item" (if (= text selected) " isSelected" ""))]
(dom/li #js {:className class-name}
(dom/a #js
{:href "#"
:onClick (fn [event] (select-domain owner text))} text))))
Everything works as expected. The only thing that bothers me Is that I do not see any state info when I analyze the page with the React.js tools in Chrome.
It seems as if sometimes the state is directly visible in the state area (e.g. for an input element) and sometimes it is hidden inside the __om_state object.
I find that I often have to click on another component and then back on the component I'm interested in to see the state in the state area. Perhaps that's the issue here?
