Electron & ClojureScript
This repository contains an Electron app written in ClojureScript. In contrast to other examples out there this one uses ClojureScript for both parts of the Electron app: the main process and the renderer.
Development
For development you can start the compiler with boot watch dev-build.
This will incrementally compile ClojureScript sources, push changes to your
running Electron app and provide a REPL connection
(docs)into the app.
You can start the electron process using
electron-prebuilt or
using a downloaded Electron.app package:
electron target/ # Do not omit the trailing '/'
The build.boot file is annotated so you can exactly understand
what's happening. When you make changes to the main process (the
app.main namespace) you will need to restart the
application. Probably automatic reloading could be added here too but
changes are the main process are not as frequent so I didn't bother
too much.
Packaging the app
The easiest way to package an electron app is by using
electron-packager:
electron-packager target/ MyApp --platform=darwin --arch=x64 --version=0.31.2
