For comparison also take a look at the list of different TodoMVC examples at https://github.com/gadfly361/cljs-todomvc.
Is view model an integral part of Carry architecture?
No, but it's a convenient UI pattern to follow because:
- It makes code easier to read, refactor and unit test thanks to better separation of concerns.
- It makes performance optimizations easier (e.g. by using Reagent's reactions to not recalculate data without a need).
That's why it was enforced in carry-reagent package.
Is there a way to code a view model if I don't use Reagent?
Yes, there's a number of tools that can do reactive/dataflow/structured computations:
- Derivatives
- freactive.core
- Javelin
- lentes
- Plumatic Graph
- Rum's
derived-atom
Is using core.match required in signal/action handlers?
No, Carry doesn't care how these functions are implemented. They can be driven by multimethods or a simple cond.
But using core.match seemed to me like quite a flexible and readable solution.
