Sodium Transaction

[jhegedus42]

I am reading the scala code, do I get it right that there is only 1 transaction (at most) at any given time per thread : https://github.com/jhegedus42/sodium/blob/master/scala/src/main/scala/sodium/Transaction.scala#L89 ?

Hi,

The scala code is quite out-of-date, unfortunately. The Java version is the model. Actually there is only one transaction at any given time across all threads, not per thread. This is the same for all implementations, not just the Scala one.

Hmm, so it's better to use the Java version from Scala too? Maybe with some wrapper ?

[the-real-blackh]

Yes. It seems to me that it would make better sense just to have a Scala wrapper than a Scala version of Sodium.

[jhegedus42]

Yeah, I checked if that would work with Scala.js and no, it would not. Also, the Scala version does not seem to be that outdated actually.

I am writing a toy project in Scala.js + React , so far the event handling is very simple, so the unidirectional dataflow combined with immutability of React and Scala.js is OK for now even if it is not that elegant.

In any case, I plan to play around with Scala Sodium in the browser, combined with react and see how the two fits together, how I can create Fridgets etc.

Scala.js won't work because the memory management behaviour of the Scala and Java versions can't work on Javascript. To make it work 100%, you would need to write a Scala wrapper for the Javascript version of Sodium.

Hmm, interesting point.
