reaction vs direct use of the ratom

[ShayMatasaro]

Hi,

Thanks for the great article.

What is the advantage of using a reaction over a direct access to the ratom, for example why is :
[:div (reaction (:a @App-DB))]

better then :
[:div (:a @App-DB)]

Either way when app-db changes it will trigger an evaluation of of the div .

Is there a better place to post questions ? are you on IRC/chat?

Cheers,
Shay

reaction should not be used in views (as you have done above). Should only be done in subscriptions. Best to have a look at the examples.

The two best place to ask questions are:

1. http://clojurians.net/ re-frame channel
2. groups https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/clojurescript
