A Leiningen template for ClojureScript development.
I put this together to allow me to set up a new ClojureScript project very quickly. It also pulls in Bootstrap and jQuery and defines a simple layout and initial web page. Compojure is a dependency for running a web server to test out your CLojureScript.
Make sure you have Leiningen installed.
git clone https://github.com/jococo/cljs-skeleton.git
cd cljs-skeleton
lein install
The you need to tell Leiningen about the new template.
In your ~/.lein/ folder (in your home directory) open profiles.clj. If there are no plugins
then you need to enter:
{:user
{:plugins [[cljs-skeleton/lein-template "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"]]}}
Alternatively, it may be that you already have leiningen plugins. In which case you solely need to add:
[cljs-skeleton/lein-template "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"]
Into the plugins vector.
Replacing 'new-project-name' with the name you choose for your new project:
lein new cljs-skeleton new-project-name
This command will create a new folder with all the project files specified by the template inside it.
CD into the new project.
To fire up the web server, type the following in a terminal from within your project:
lein ring server
Leave that running and then open another terminal and CD to you project, then type:
lein cljsbuild auto dev
which gives automatic compilation whenever you make any changes in your ClojureScript files.
This section on setting up a Repl that connects with the running code in your browser comes from the excellent set of ClojureScript tutorials modern-cljs
Open another terminal window in the root of the project. Type:
./cljs-repl listen
If you get the message permission denied then cljs-repl is not executable so type:
chmod +x cljs-repl
When you get the message 'listening on port 9000' refresh your browser, then, in the terminal, you should see the ClojureScript repl command prompt. Now type:
(js/alert "Hi there")
and you should be rewarded with an Alert box appearing in your browser window.
