Introduction

A conversation started at the Heart of Clojure conference in Belgium on Friday August 2nd 2019.

The group represented project owners from Maria.Cloud, Next.Journal, Klipse and Replete-Web. The projects make significant use of self-hosted CLJS.

This is a proposal to have a service that generates and caches JS files for a specific CLJS dependency (name & version).

Background

The ClojureScript compiler generates JS files for each of an apps stated CLJS dependencies. The runtime environment then loads each of the needed JS files to satisfy the dependency at runtime.

If you've reached this page, it's probably because your "parent-based and owner-based contexts differ".

As we've been iterating on React's "context" feature, we've discovered that the parent-based relationship is more useful than the owner-based relationship, so we're migrating to use a parent-based hierarchy.

In short, the owner of a component is whomever creates the component, while the parent of a component is whomever would be the containing ancestor in the DOM hierarchy. To learn more about the owner relationship, see the docs here: http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/multiple-components.html

In many cases, the owner and the parent are the same node, in which case, no further action is necessary.
