Intra Epoch Traces

"Music is the space between the notes." - Claude Debussy

re-frame-10x is built around the idea of epochs. An epoch captures all of the trace emitted by re-frame during the handling an event. But what about the trace emitted when re-frame isn't handling an event? These are the intra-epoch traces.

Intra-epoch traces are emitted under (at least) three circumstances:

• Views sometimes have local state in the form of local ratoms which control, for example, the appearance of popups or mouseover animations. When the state of these ratoms change, dependent views will likely rerender, and the trace to do with this rerendering will flow from reagent to re-frame-10x. But there'll be no "current" epoch to put it in. Because there was no event (just a pseudo event caused by the ratom reset)
• A Figwheel recompile and subsequent code reload will cause all existing subscriptions to be destroyed, and will trigger a complete re-render of your application. Again, a flood of trace to do with subscriptions and views will arrive but have no epoch home.
• re-frame-10x itself resetting the value in app-db. Once again, there will be a flurry of subscription and view trace, but no epoch, because there was no event.

The first of these is essential to the functioning of your application, which probably makes the trace interesting and informative. The last two are incidental to the tooling and are probably best ignored. Probably.

re-frame-10x collects any intra-epoch subscription traces and shows them in the subs panel with the next epoch. They are broken out into a separate section marked: "Intra-Epoch Subscriptions".
