Tightrope

• Guide
  • Overview
  • Installation and Setup
  • Schema
    • mainly unique and ref-type attributes
    • derivation of datascript schema from datomic schema
  • The UI model
    • concept of mounting entities
    • :idents and :lookup
    • :query and :data
    • :mount-tx and :unmount-tx
      • :auto-retract? and :init-tx
    • table of q/freshen/mutate
      • touches app state | optional target | mutates external | network | async
      • ! for local (sync)
      • !! for remote (async)
      • !!! for remote !! with optimistic local !
  • Client State (datascript)
    • central atom of all application state
    • reactively updates the UI on transact
    • mutating app state with upsert!
      • also (transact! [(upsertion ...)])
  • External State (pathom)
    • connects application state to outside world
      • datascript and datomic results available to parser automatically (no resolvers required)
    • writing resolvers
      • local (cljs)
      • server (clj)
      • shared (cljc)
      • 2 special inputs: datascript and datomic (don't require resolvers)
    • loading (freshening) from external state with freshen!/!!/!!!
    • mutating external state with mutate!/!!/!!!
    • I/O of the entire application (at all stack levels)
    • inputs include the browser window, local storage, cookies, remote APIs
  • Going Remote
    • :remote configuration
    • tightrope server handler
      • request and response middleware
      • :request in parser env
    • transit vs edn encoding
    • bring your own middleware
