Question 1

Is hx still maintained or should I use Helix?

Accepted Answer

hx is maintained by Nosco with minor fixes, but for new features and breaking changes, consider Helix, the successor project. Check the update note for details on the transfer.

Question 2

How do I handle state management in hx since it doesn't have any?

Accepted Answer

Use React Hooks via hx.hooks, external libraries like Redux, or ClojureScript atoms. The documentation on state management provides examples and guidance.

Question 3

Can I use hx with server-side rendering in a ClojureScript app?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires additional setup since hx is a client-side library. You'll need to configure React SSR in your build process, similar to standard React projects.

Question 4

What's the difference between hx and Reagent for React in ClojureScript?

Accepted Answer

hx is more minimal and focuses on direct React interop with Hiccup, while Reagent has its own reactive data flow. hx is better if you want to use React libraries directly without Reagent's abstractions.

Question 5

How to integrate third-party React components like Material UI with hx?

Accepted Answer

Use hx/f to wrap React components or defnc to create ClojureScript wrappers. Examples in the README show integration with Material UI and react-dnd.

Question 6

Does hx support React concurrent features or newer hooks?

Accepted Answer

hx supports React Hooks as per the React version you use, but since development is limited, you might need to ensure compatibility manually. Helix might have better support for newer features.
