Connecting Scala server-side actors and DomActors

[omidb]

Hi,

Thanks for akka.js-dom. It looks like a promising project with a lot of potentials. I was wondering if it's possible to mix this with Scala actors in backend. Let's say in the "simple" timer example. Is it possible to write the DomActor in a Scala server-side (is there any binding?) in backend and then serve it as JS code like a module. If there are possibilities like that, then one can write an JVM actor that send messages to DomActor all in Scala with a shared codebase. I might be talking non-sense here :D but more general question is how can one mix akka.js-dom with Scala?

Thanks

Hi, thanks for the input!
I think there are 2 point here:

• akkajs-dom for Scala -> this probably I will do at some point in the future, help will be really appreciated :-)
• Workers spawned in the server -> this is a strange request actually ... maybe I'm missing something but spawning DomActor in the backend add a lot of complexity (timeout - connection probes etc. etc.) that is not (at the moment) tackled by the framework.
