Looks really heavy for a Haskell application. You have to install React via NPM as a dependency for IHP to process the JSX, effectively resulting in a framework for Haskell riding a big JS framework.
You can more directly achieve a purely functional approach to DOM interaction without the declarative cleverness of JSX from a tiny understanding of how the DOM works.
- unhammer 5y agoThere's no react dependency. You can combine it with React if you want to make a hybrid of server-side and SPA, but the standard IHP method is to do just server-side rendering with only a tiny bit of js glue for prefetching and such (IHP has its own HSX syntax that looks a bit like JSX, but is turned into html before being sent to the browser).
- austincheney 5y agoThe React dependency is mentioned in the documentation linked from their code example: https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/Guide/realtime-spas.html https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/Guide/realtime-spas.html
- phaer 5y agoEven if you post this twice, it's still not a dependency. It's an optional addon for a specific pattern or, as the page you've linked says > This guide will help you understand the best-practices of building hybrid applications with IHP and React.
- cies 5y agoI'd not say React is big. Sure it's big in name. But compared code-wise to Angular it's tiny, and just handles the view-side of things. Besides that I'm not sure what you say is correct. It seems IHP uses HSX, something similar to JSX, but not JSX itself, nor React. The only place I see React mentioned is as a dependency of their "Guide" (some documentation hub their run): https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/Guide/index.html https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/Guide/index.html The search widget in the top right uses React, but that's all...

- kodefant 5y agoPersonally I am using DataSync like described in the docs, but with Elm, so React is just an option for using this API, not a requirement :)
- cies 5y agoAny link to an example project or details on how to achieve this?
- lolinder 5y agoThe first header after Introduction: > Todo List App > Adding React to your IHP project The first sentence of that section: > To access the JavaScript ecosystem we need to add NodeJS to our project. Both the header and this first sentence imply that this is an optional add-on, not a dependency. I can also speak from experience and tell you that there is no dependency on react. I've played around with IHP and in its default form the stack resembles Rails: Haskell renders HTML with forms, which submit data to the Haskell server via POST. No JavaScript required at all, much less React.
