zotero-tools

An example to explore Clojurescript, shadow-cljs, Datascript, Zotero and maybe FulcroRAD simultaneously.

Installing

Install shadow-cljs globally: sudo npm install -g shadow-cljs

In the project directory:

1. npm init
2. npm install zotero-api-client
3. npm install shadow-cljs

Building/running

The server (in emacs, for development)

The "server" is currently just a minimal http server process that continues to run so that you can hot-load code from the REPL. I use emacs/cider. Thus I'm starting a REPL from a shell and connecting to it through NREPL.

At a shell prompt in the project directory run the following to compile and start the NREPL process:

  shadow-cljs -d nrepl/nrepl:0.9.0 -d cider/piggieback:0.5.3 -d cider/cider-nrepl:0.28.5 watch server

The response should include shadow-cljs - nREPL server started on port which is the port you will use to connect the CIDER REPL to running application. But first, in another shell, you need to start the server. So in the second shell, in the project directy, run `node ./target/server.js. The program should respond with:

starting server
http server running
shadow-cljs - #3 ready!

If you do the above, then when you try to interact with code in a CIDER REPL, it will report No available JS runtime. If at anytime you see that warning, you can restart the server with node target/script.js.

Now you can connect with CIDER using M-x cider-connect-cljs and the port number observer earlier. Respond with shadow as the REPL type and :server as the target compilation.

Note also that shadow-clsj implements a handy tool for inspection and compilation at http://localhost:9630/.
