Async update a UI component from change in backend

[mdbergmann]

Hello.
I see there is a WS connection. Is it possible to trigger a re-render of a component, like a text field from data that has changed in the backend, i.e. a changed value in the database? I was looking through the documentation, wondering if the 'connection-data', etc. might be it?

Or is there an example?

Every thing on the page is live and updateable that is the whole magic of CLOG :) The entire builder a full CL IDE is written in it.

Just use your Lispy sense:

(setf (text-value somecontrol) "helllo")

Did you go through the tutorials?

[mdbergmann]

I'm switching through the tutorials, but this wasn't really obvious. Or at least I thought it is not.

Thanks.

[mdbergmann]

But Clog is really great. :)

Sorry wasn't meant as snarky response, just if has gone through. Glad enjoying it :)

Think how cool for a home automation gui :)

[mdbergmann]

Exactly. :)
Working on that.
