In React 0.12, we're making a core change to how React.createClass(...) and JSX works.
If you're using JSX in the typical way for all (and only) React components, then this transition will be seamless. Otherwise there are some minor breaking changes described below.
The Problem
Simply put, destructuring in Clojure is a way extract values from a datastructure and bind them to symbols, without having to explicitly traverse the datstructure. It allows for elegant and concise Clojure code.
A note on terminology: There are a lot of things with similar meanings/use-cases around: subscriptions, reactions, derived atoms, view models.
I'll introduce another to make things even worse: derivative. A derivative implements IWatchable and it's value is the result of applying a function to the value of other things (sources) implementing IWatchable. Whenever any of the sources change the value if the derivative is updated.
Let's assume you're hooked about the idea of storing all your application state in a single atom (db). (Why this is a great idea is covered elsewhere.)
Most of your components don't need the entirety of this state and instead receive a small selection of it that is enough to allow the components to do their job. Now that data is not always a subtree (i.e. (get-in db ...)) but might be a combination of various parts of your state. To transform the data in a way that it becomes useful for components you can use a function: `(f @
