🤔 the latest I can find is 0.20.0-M1

[notxcain]

Right, I might have looked at v0.19.0-M4, too much coffee yesterday.

@notxcain would this compile to scalajs to the extent necessary to call from an ajax client application?
context higherkindness/mu-scala#16

"mu, it brings the ability to combine RPC protocols, services, and clients in your Freestyle program, thanks to gRPC."

Would you agree to add a scalajs module for cross-build?

[notxcain]

@SemanticBeeng I'm not sure that all modules are Scala.js compatible. Never used it. What module do you need?

[SemanticBeeng]

Hmm... some familiarity is required to understand but think is very important in order make aecor usable on the "client side" of ajax apps.

Would you be willing to develop some familiarity while I come up with a better explanation and examples?

Roughly speaking everything could cross-compile except the akka specific stuff.
Plainly speaking scalajs cannot compile things that have equivalent in the browser like akka, spark,

In previous interactions I gave links to how frees-io does it : http://frees.io/docs/
Will improve this answer.

What are the use cases that you see for Aecor on the client side?

[SemanticBeeng]

To implement immutable domain models and event sourced apis that can run on the client and then have effects (especially state mutations) replayed / interpreted on the server when the remove calls are eventually made.

See https://tech.zilverline.com/2011/02/10/towards-an-immutable-domain-model-monads-part-5 for examples.

I have used this design to implement complex domain models with complex business rules without having to keep track of mutations on the client. Now applying same with aecor seems the perfect evolution.

All this could be cross compile except boopickleWireProtocol which a server-side remoting aspect only. https://github.com/SemanticBeeng/aecor/blob/1791d3de0ddf83f67c1a3cd5371aaf0c14714e45/modules/tests/src/main/scala/aecor/tests/e2e/Counter.scala#L11-L55

Also, monix, circe, cats, cats-mtl, etc cross-compile already.

[notxcain]

@SemanticBeeng I see. BTW WireProtocol could also be used for client server RPC-like interaction. As for Scala.js support. I'm not sure that I'll have a free time in the near future. So PR is welcome.

[SemanticBeeng]

Agreed about WireProtocol.
So am I correct to infer that you agree aecor based algebras, events, etc could be used on "the client" - you cannot see issues in principle, right?
