How to transform js/Error to a clojurescript map?

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 14:54:16 +0000

I'm getting a js/Error in my catch form of try/catch. I was doing some repl work to see what I can understand about js/Errors. What I don't understand is why (js->clj js-err) just returns the same js/Error object.

(def js-err (js/Error. "testing"))

js-err
;; => #object[Error Error: testing]
(js->clj js-err)
;; => #object[Error Error: testing]

evaluating js-err and (js->clj js-err) result in the same thing.

Here are the properties on js-err

(.getOwnPropertyNames js/Object js-err)
;; => #js["stack" "message"]

what I want or expect to happen:

(js->clj js-err)
;; => {:message "testing"
;;     :stack "blah\nblah"}

Could someone explain why js->clj doesn't give me the object data as a map, and is there a idiomatic way to accomplish turning that object into a map?

This is in the nodejs host

Not recognized function using Photon library with node.js

Tue, 13 Oct 2020 05:02:28 +0000

I need to use this library https://github.com/silvia-odwyer/photon and I use this example https://github.com/minimal-xyz/minimal-shadow-cljs-nodejs as a starting point and I want to replicate this piece of code to test it:

   var fs = require('fs');

var photon = require("@silvia-odwyer/photon-node");

const fetch = require('node-fetch');
global.fetch = fetch;

function grayscaleImage() {
    // read file, then convert to base64
    var base64 = fs.readFileSync(`input.png`, { encoding: 'base64' });
    let data = base64.replace(/^data:image\/(png|jpg);base64,/, "");

    // convert base64 to PhotonImage
    var phtn_img = photon.PhotonImage.new_from_base64(data);

    photon.grayscale(phtn_img);

    // get base64 from filtered image, and write 
    let output_base64 = phtn_img.get_base64();
    let output_image_name = "output.png";
    var output_data = output_base64.replace(/^data:image\/\w+;base64,/, '');

    fs.writeFile(output_image_name, output_data, {encoding: 'base64'}, function(err) {
    });
    console.log(`Saved ${output_image_name}`);

}

grayscaleImage();

So I wrote this

(ns server.main
  (:require ["@silvia-odwyer/photon-node" :as sop]
                    ["fs" :as fs]
                    ["node-fetch" :as nf]
                    [clojure.string :as string]))

(defn main! []
  (let [base64 (fs/readFileSync "input.png" #js {:encoding "base64"})
        data (.replace base64 #"^data:image/(png|jpg);base64," "")
        phtn-img (sop/PhotonImage.new_from_base64 data)
        phtn-img (sop/grayscale phtn-img)
        output-base64 (sop/get_base64 phtn-img)]
    (println output-base64)))

but when I run
'shadow-cljs release app' and ' node target/main.js'
It throws:

Saying that get_base64 is not a function...
doc: https://docs.rs/photon-rs/0.2.0/photon_rs/struct.PhotonImage.html#method.get_base64

I don't know if node-fetch can be related to this

I'm doing something wrong?

Compiling shadow-cljs projects with NPM transitive dependency conflicts

Thu, 26 Sep 2019 18:08:41 +0000

I am attempting to make use of the react-bootstrap module by leveraging NPM support in shadow-cljs.

First I add react-bootstrap and bootstrap to package.json:
$ yarn add react-bootstrap bootstrap

And then require react-bootstrap in my project:
(ns myproject.core (:require ["react-bootstrap" :as bs]))

The result is a runtime exception in the console:
TypeError: (0 , _uncontrollable.default) is not a function
... which curiously goes away after the first hot-reload.

The exception likely indicates a conflict in a nested NPM dependency. How can I identity and resolve the problem?
