I have some clojurescript that I want to interop with some javascript libraries. In my clojurescript code I do some analysis and come up with a list of maps. something like
[{:prop1 "value1" :prop2 "value2"}, {:prop1 "something else" :prop2 "etc"}...]
I need to pass this to a javascript functions as
[{prop1: "value1", prop2: "value2}, {..} ...]
I'm not sure how to return a javascript object form my clojurescript function though. Is there a way to serialize nested maps and lists to javascript objects. Or a way to create a new javascript object and then set properties on it?
I found a function here
(defn clj->js
"Recursively transforms ClojureScript maps into Javascript objects,
other ClojureScript colls into JavaScript arrays, and ClojureScript
keywords into JavaScript strings.
Borrowed and updated from mmcgrana."
[x]
(cond
(string? x) x
(keyword? x) (name x)
(map? x) (.-strobj (reduce (fn [m [k v]]
(assoc m (clj->js k) (clj->js v))) {} x))
(coll? x) (apply array (map clj->js x))
:else x))
Does exactly what I needed. There is also the inverse function, namely js->clj
in ClojureScript core.
