Shadow-cljs: (:require [goog.dom :as dom]) results in undeclared var

[brianium]

I can't seem to find info in documentation, but this could be that I am searching poorly.

Is there a reason why the following results in an undeclared var?

(ns my.namespace
  (:require [goog.dom :as dom]))

It seems ok to use goog.dom/getElemet directly. Is there a relevant piece of documentation that could help me understand?

Thank you so much for shadow-cljs. It is fantastic.

I am currently using:

"shadow-cljs": "^2.8.69"

Do you mean the ns causes an undeclared var? You surely mean something else is causing that? What exactly did you use? (dom/getElement ...) should be fine?

I had a namespace like this:

(ns acme.widget
  (:require [cljs.core.async :refer [<! chan put!]]
                  [goog.dom :as dom]
                  [goog.events :as events])
  (:require-macros [cljs.core.async.macros :refer [go-loop]]))

And I was getting errors when referencing dom that it was undeclared. But I could use goog.dom/ directly. It was very strange.

I have since shutdown and restarted the repl and the problem appears to have gone away 🤷‍♂

I really appreciate the response, and am super grateful for your work on this project 🙇

BTW in modern core.async you can just do

(ns acme.widget
  (:require [cljs.core.async :refer [<! chan put! go-loop]]
            [goog.dom :as dom]
            [goog.events :as events]))

No need for the :require-macros anymore :)

How far we've come! Thank you 🙇
