sci boxes

An experiment in connecting mini SCI environments

Let's say you could put executable code in Athens' blocks.

Some questions:

• In what order do we evaluate our blocks?
• How do we pass data in and out of our blocks?
• How do we handle async code?

Attempted approach:

• Blocks are passed the evaluated result of their parent (*1)

Some other approaches:

• Blocks inherit the environment of their parent
• Blocks mutate a global environment
• Blocks are babashka pods?

Fun stuff to try:

• Pass in the datascript connection
• spit/slurp to IPFS etc.

Totally understand if folks aren't sold on devcards, or think experiments like this should be in a separate project / codebase 😄

Really cool @tomisme! Given your questions in the PR, would you like to merge or are you still working on this?

[tomisme]

I'm not sure why these react imports are necessary but I get "React is not defined" when they're not there

Happy to merge, I won't be able to do any more work on it for a little while. That way others can play around with it :)

Should I squash/rebase my commits first? Or can it be done automatically with github's PRs?

[tangjeff0]

It can be done on GH @tomisme. Just share the final commit here and @jeroenvandijk or I will copy it in. :)

Or we can squash directly!

Excellent. Yeah I think that's the last of it, ready when you are :)

[tangjeff0]

I'll let @jeroenvandijk finish the PR because he reviewed already and he's been working with sci more closely. To respond to your comment @tomisme , though, the reason you need to require

[cljsjs.react]
[cljsjs.react.dom]

is because React needs to be shimmed when using shadow-cljs @tomisme. See bhauman/devcards#156

[jeroenvandijk]

Thanks @tomisme !

For others, how to get it running:

lein devcards
http://localhost:3001/cards.html

[tangjeff0]

http://localhost:3001/cards.html doesn't work for me. I have to open the file from my filesystem, e.g. file:///athens/public/cards.html#!/athens.devcards.block

Nothing even runs on localhost:3001, my build runs on localhost:3000 still. Thoughts? @jeroenvandijk @tomisme

[tomisme]

Anything at localhost:3000/cards.html?

[avichalp]

For me, It is available on localhost:3000.

@tangjeff0: You can also start a separate server using lein devcards then it will available on 3001 too.

[tangjeff0]

Works now @tomisme @avichalp ! Previously I was getting the default All Pages view before at localhost:3000/cards.html but good now!
