reffectory
Clojure/ClojureScript framework inspired by re-frame that provides a full events system with effects and coeffects
We're pleased to announce that our client GreenPowerMonitor has allowed us to open-source re-om, an event-driven functional framework which is giving new life to an existing legacy SPA that uses Om.

Some of us had worked with effects and coeffects before while developing SPAs with re-frame and had experienced how good it is. After working with re-frame, when you come to horizon, you realize how a good architecture can make a dramatic difference in clarity, testability, understandability and easiness of change.
re-frame uses reagent as its interface to React. Although I personally consider reagent to be much nicer than Om because it feels more ‘Clojurish’, as it is less verbose and hides React’s complexity better that Om (Om it’s a thinner abstraction over React that reagent), the amount of view code and components developed using Om during the nearly two years of life of the project made changing to reagent too huge of a change. GreenPowerMonitor had done a heavy investment on Om in our SPA for this change to be advisable.
We've been using re-om during the last 6 months and it has really made our lives much easier. Before open-sourcing it, we decided to extract from re-om the code that was independent of any view technology. This code is now part of reffectory and it might be used as the base for creating frameworks similar to re-om for other view technologies, like for example rum, or even for pure Clojure projects.
