React-like hooks for reagent

[boogie666]

A while ago i say this interesting post right here on clojureverse

Using the proposed React Hooks in ClojureScript

Yesterday at ReactConf, a proposal was introduced for a new React feature called “Hooks.” More info here: https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-intro.html I’m sure I’m not the only one that immediately realized how similar this was to the way reagent components are written . I personally am perfectly happy to try and get rid of reagent and use (as close to) raw React as possible, and these new features like async rendering, Suspense and (now) Hooks are painting a very bright future for that roa…

This, coupled with some talks by Dan Abramov (you know the one ) inspired me to give react-hooks a try…

Sadly raw react hooks don’t work in reagent, but with a bit cleverness something very similar can be done

After giving it a few tries (see the post i ref earlier) and using this style of hooks for a bit at work i decided to publish a little library in hopes that it would help others (understand the basics of react-hooks if not for actual use)

Hope it’s useful to somebody… i know it is for me

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated…

Cheers,
