Foam

Clojars Project

Circle CI

A hack to add server-side rendering to Om

Assumes you have a working CLJS Om app, and you want to add server-side rendering, without using selenium or node.

Usage

foam provides a minimal reimplementation of the om.core, om.dom namespaces in .clj code. Port your Om components and app-state to .cljc code. In your component namespaces:

(:require #?(:clj [foam.core :as om]
             :cljs [om.core :as om])
          #?(:clj [foam.dom :as dom]
             :cljs [om.dom :as dom]))

Everything should work without needing to modify your component code, with the exception of a few known limitations listed below.

App-State

Like normal Om, your appstate should be an atom wrapping a map or vector. We recommend an app-state constructor function in .cljc, so it's available to both CLJ and CLJS.

Server-side Rendering

In clj, call

(ns foo.bar
  (:require [foam.core :as foam]
            [foam.dom :as dom]))

(let [state (your-app-state)
      cursor (foam/root-cursor state)
      com (foam/build your-component cursor)]
 (dom/render-to-string com)

Serve that in your http response.

Limitations

Lots. This is alpha, though Rasterize is using it in produciton. This list of limitations is not complete.

  • Not all Om protocols have been ported over yet
  • Bugs everywhere

Version Compatiblity

React changed its algorithm for assigning react-ids to elements between 0.14 and 15.0. If you're using react 15 or higher, you'll need foam 0.1.8 or later. Conversely, use foam 0.1.7 for react < 15. Recent Om alphas, such as 1.0.0-alpha40 are known to work with foam.

React < 15 >= 15
Om 0.9 1.0.0-alpha40
foam 0.1.7 0.1.8
