When you're calling functions of js-libs in clojurescript, you will face a lot
of boilerplate transformations to native js-objects and/or arrays.
The calls that I make start to look like:
(js-lib-fn (jayq.util/clj->js param1) (jayq.util/clj->js param2)
(jayq.util/clj->js param3))
where the params are cljs-datatypes, and where I want the {} to be transformed
into js-objects and the [] to become js-arrays.
I thought I was clever when I came up with the following fn:
(defn jsfn->clj [f] (fn [& params] (apply f (map jayq.util/clj->js
params))))
(def cljs-js-lib-fn (jsfn->clj js-lib-fn)
where "jsfn->clj" takes an exisiting js-fn and just calls the clj->js
transformation function on the parameters.
After that one-time assignment, you would simply use cljs-js-lib-fn… and life
is good.
This approach works a little bit, but seems to choke on those js-fn that rely
on "this" for their implementation. I've attached an error-message.
Is there a way to make this work?
I'm aware of the "this-as" macro, but it's unclear to me how to use that one in
the "jsfn->clj" function definition (?).
Are there other approaches maybe that can ease the "too much boilerplate code"
issue?
Thanks, FrankS.
