A Leiningen template for projects using Reagent.
A Leiningen template for a Clojure/ClojureScript app based on Reagent, with a focus on providing a batteries included setup for development and deployment.
For any questions or discussion please come join us at the Reagent Google Group.
Create a new application project:
lein new reagent <name>
To enable clojurescript testing with PhantomJS, use +test flag:
lein new reagent <name> +test
To run the tests, please use lein cljsbuild test. For installation instructions of PhantomJS, please see this.
To start the Figwheel compiler, navigate to the project folder and run the following command in the terminal:
lein figwheel
Figwheel will automatically push cljs changes to the browser. The server will be available at http://localhost:3449 once Figwheel starts up.
Figwheel also starts nRREPL using the value of the :nrepl-port in the :figwheel
config found in project.clj. By default the port is set to 7002.
The figwheel server can have unexpected behaviors in some situations such as when using websockets. In this case it's recommended to run a standalone instance of a web server as follows:
lein do clean, run
The application will now be available at http://localhost:3000.
In case of using +less option you may also want to run
lein less auto
to autocompile less files.
Start the browser REPL:
$ lein repl
The Jetty server can be started by running:
(start-server)and stopped by running:
(stop-server)lein cljsbuild clean
lein uberjar
Make sure you have Git and Heroku toolbelt installed, then simply follow the steps below.
Optionally, test that your application runs locally with foreman by running.
foreman start
Now, you can initialize your git repo and commit your application.
git init
git add .
git commit -m "init"
create your app on Heroku
heroku create
optionally, create a database for the application
heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql
The connection settings can be found at your Heroku dashboard under the add-ons for the app.
deploy the application
git push heroku master
Your application should now be deployed to Heroku! For further instructions see the official documentation.
The template packages everything you need to create a production ready ClojureScript application following current best practices. The template uses the following features and libraries:
- Reagent - ClojureScript interface to Facebook's React
- reagent-forms - data binding library for Reagent
- reagent-utils - utilities such as session and cookie management
- Secretary - client-side routing
- Hiccup - server-side HTML templating
- Compojure - a popular routing library
- Ring - Clojure HTTP interface
- Prone - better exception reporting middleware for Ring
- Heroku - the template is setup to work on Heroku out of the box, simply run
git push heroku master - clojurescript.test - a maximal port of clojure.test to ClojureScript
The template supports the following options:
+test- ClojureScript testing support+less- use less for compiling Less CSS files
Take a look at the open issues, especially ones marked as help wanted. If you see one you'd like to address don't hesitate to start a discussion or submit a pull request.
If the template isn't doing quite what you're looking for, it's easy to create a local copy of your own following these simple steps:
git clone https://github.com/reagent-project/reagent-template.git
cd reagent-template
lein install
If you feel that your customizations are general enough to be useful for others then please consider making a pull request.
