I'm happy to announce the release of Om 0.8.0-alpha1. This release includes the single biggest conceptual enhancement since its initial release - Reference Cursors.
As we begin to build larger and larger applications with Om, we often run afoul of the need to organize our application around a hierarchical tree. This is more problematic than in React itself as Om emphasizes a programming model that supports full snapshotting of the application state. This seemingly beneficial property actually exacerbates the hierachical issue and often leads to an incredible amount non-modular programming! The introduction of Reference Cursors allow Om programmers to stop thinking in terms of trees and return to a more natural mode of UI programming - simply calling out into shared APIs around application data precisely where you need it. No need to pass data through intermediate components on way to the target child component - Reference Cursors allow you to get at the data exactly where it is required and this without abandoning the ability to time travel over your application state. There are more thoughts and details here: https://github.com/swannodette/om/wiki/Advanced-Tutorial#reference-cursors Please give Reference Cursors a try in your application and send lots of feedback! This is an alpha release. No previous Om APIs should be affected, however the Reference Cursor feature is largely untested beyond a simple example in the repo. https://github.com/swannodette/om Cheers, David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
