I want to add components to a started system, but I'm unsure of a component-idiomatic way to do that.
I don't want to restart the whole component stack. I'm guessing assoc'ing a new component to the system-map result isn't a good idea (though I've read words that sounded like it was a fine thing to do), but then I'd have a component that hasn't been started residing with other components that have been started. I though of adding a static component called akin to a pooling component, which I would then modify directly in response to my needs, but then I'd have a mutable component and that isn't particularly desirable either. For purposes of discussion let's say this is what I want: (component/system-map {:connection (make-connection) :subscriber-1 (component/using (make-subscriber) [:connection]) ... more subscribers after starting the system ... } ) It isn't a nice prospect to declare all my subscribers at system-map declaration time or (start) lifecycle time, I want my system to respond like a service and add new instances of what are essentially components. So I either need to graft more components to the resulting system-map, or make a make a system map entity that is mutable and tracks the pool of subscribers. Under this model I'd have (component/system-map {:connection (make-connection) :subscriber-pool (component/using (make-subscriber-pool) [:connection]) }) Then I'd basically have functions to mutate (:subscriber-pool system) by adding/removing subscribers Thoughts? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
