Question 1

How do I update components in Brutha?

Accepted Answer

Update components by manually calling the mount function with new state data. React handles efficient rendering, but you must trigger updates explicitly when state changes, as shown in the usage examples.

Question 2

Brutha vs Reagent: which is better for ClojureScript React apps?

Accepted Answer

Brutha is better for minimalism and full state control, while Reagent offers built-in reactive atoms and a more integrated experience. Choose based on your need for abstraction versus manual management.

Question 3

Does Brutha support React hooks?

Accepted Answer

No, Brutha focuses on a functional interface with pure components and reified types for lifecycle hooks. To use React hooks, you'd need to interoperate directly with React, which Brutha doesn't simplify.

Question 4

How to handle lifecycle methods in Brutha?

Accepted Answer

Use reified types to implement interfaces like IWillMount or IDidUpdate, as demonstrated in the noisy-component example, allowing custom behavior for mount, update, and unmount events.

Question 5

Is Brutha suitable for large applications?

Accepted Answer

Brutha can scale, but its manual update model might become tedious in complex apps. It's best for teams comfortable with imperative state management and valuing simplicity over automation.

Question 6

What libraries work with Brutha for DOM manipulation?

Accepted Answer

Brutha pairs with libraries like Flupot, Sablono, or Kioo for creating DOM elements, as it doesn't provide its own dom utilities. This requires additional setup but offers flexibility.
