Google Map component, with reagent and reframe. Questions asked on Clojurians #re-frame's channel.

; Following code is WRONG, see comments for details.

I rewrote it, see https://gist.github.com/jhchabran/e09883c3bc1b703a224d#file-2_google_map-cljs if you're interested :)

It should use will-receive-props for update as we don't interact with the dom as opposed to http://nils-blum-oeste.net/clojurescripts-reagent-using-props-in-lifecycle-hooks/ example.

When using this I have found it important to run :component-will-unmount to dispose of the stateful component
