(not saying you should,. just that what you might find f'ed up in FP others may see it making sense)
I try to examine my reasoning and give things a fair shake, but I am also much more concerned with readable code than most people.
Which is why all of my open-source projects are so pretty. ;)
like cats used to look like black magic before
or doobie
Though this is mostly true, there's something to be said for readability without special knowledge. Lift eventually becomes "readable", but to any outsider it looks like gibberish. There's a trade-off that comes with "black magic" and very often I think Scala devs don't take that into consideration or just don't care. If the trade-off is worthwhile then I'm willing to make it, but very often the trade-off happens for no valid reason for some obscure "better practice" that is easily arguable. Further, immutable code very often suffers from serious performance impact.
Having written Scribe, which is more than three times faster than log4j, written 3d engines, and a strong focus on big data, performance is important to me.
@jmcardon I do hope you'll challenge the ideas put forth in youi, but I hope you're ready to defend the reasoning better than, "this is FP best practice" :-p
0.8.0 is your best bet
if you don't need any of that then 0.9.0-M8 is your best bet
@rvangsgaard I read your email, but it's still a bit unclear. You have an existing HTML template you're working with?
most of the changes have to do with the
HttpClient though
hey, for a library that I haven't focused on optimizing performance, we're doing pretty well on TechEmpower: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r18&hw=ph&test=json&l=zijunz-f
Hi all! I started to look for new web app building tools while picking up interest in scala again after a long time. I've been mostly doing stuff with Liftweb previously. YouI seems very interesting tool, so I'm trying it out next!
I'm building the example, I pulled the latest from GitHub and I'm getting some XNIO runtime exception, but it doesn't seem to be fatal, I still get "Hello world" to my browser. But is there something I should change perhaps?

This should only happen if the function doesn't always expose a reference to itself.I'm using openjdk version "11.0.7" 2020-04-14 on Xubuntu 20.04
how are you running it?
sbt

Haha, I think Lift was just the right kind of quirky for me. :-D I think what I'm aiming for, is something that I don't have to concentrate how the data flows between server and client, just that it's well defined and works. Another very interesting is Korolev, where everything flows through websocket to a very thin client.
I ran it with one command from the CLI:
sbt exampleJS/fastOptJS exampleJVM/run. Copied that from the github page.

now no runtime errors with:
but when I open
;appJS/fastOptJS;reStartbut when I open
localhost:8080 in firefox, it redirects to localhost:8080/ui-examples.html but seems it's not found, says console:exampleJVM[ERROR] 2020.06.06 16:19:14 [ERROR] io.youi.ErrorSupport.defaultHandler:30:38 - java.lang.RuntimeException: Invalid URL or not found in class-loader: app/application-fastopt.js.youi.
going directly to some example apps, like session, works though, yay! typed
localhost:8080/session.html to address bar
Regarding effortless flow between client and server, I assume you've looked a bit into how communication works in YouI, that's kind of the whole goal there to allow method signatures to be defined and shared and implemented where it should be run.
The errors you're seeing imply that the Scala.js wasn't built for the example project.
Also, if you want an example of an application built on YouI: https://app.courio.com
pretty impressive that courio app, nice!
@darkfrog26 that clean helped, thanks!
have to start learning this thing, let's see if I can wrap my head around it :D
babysteps, babysteps...
@darkfrog26 I think I can now follow many things that is going on in the examples, but I have one critical question that I don't yet understand. It relates to the filter DSL: I think serving for example a simple json, like in the example, is pretty self explainatory, but how about the JS app part?
I mean what is the 'binding factor' which triggers the build to compile the JS app and include it to the html part, so that browser will load it?
For example, what actually happens here:
combined.any(
path.exact(path"/courio.html"),
path.matches("/examples/.*[.]html"),
path.exact("/ui-examples.html")
) / Application / ServerApplication.AppTemplatemore specifically in the last line? How does it know that ClientExampleApplication.scala needs now a build etc? Is it convetion based on the file naming, or how?
Sorry this might seem a silly question with an obvious answer, but... :-D
When you compile the JS code it puts it into the
exampleJVM resources directory so that the server can serve it up.
The
Application and ServerApplication.AppTemplate have more to do with setting up the HTML to reference that Scala.js so that it will run the application in the client.
