Something like this:
(defn component [data owner]
(reify
om/IInitState
(init-state [_]
(let [chan (chan)]
{:chan chan
:kill (chan)
:pub (pub chan first)}))
om/IWillMount
(will-mount [_]
(let [pub (om/get-state owner :pub)
chan (chan)
kill (om/get-state owner :kill)]
; If using pub/sub, need to subscribe
*(sub pub :foo chan) *
(go-loop []
(let [*[v c]* *(alts! [chan kill])*]
(when-not *(= c kill)*
(do-something v)
(recur))
; If using pub/sub, need to unsubscribe:
*(unsub pub :foo chan)*))))
om/IWillUnmount
(will-unmount [_]
*(put! (om/get-state owner :kill) :quit)*)
om/IRenderState
(render-state [_ {:keys [chan]}]
(dom/div {:onClick #(put! chan [:foo "Hello"])}
"Click me to send [:foo \"Hello\"]"))))
