missing lein repl out-of-the-box with basic template

[leblowl]

Hey @yogthos,

Thanks for the great framework. I am revisiting Clojure and attempting to get a good web dev system set up. I was following the tutorial @ http://www.luminusweb.net/docs/guestbook.html and started my journey off with lein new luminus guestbook +h2. I assumed the command lein repl would work out of the box. I had to use lein new luminus guestbook +h2 +cider in order to get this functionality. I think there could be a slight improvement to the documentation in order to help beginners with this issue. Any ideas?

The recommended way to use the REPL is by starting the app using lein run, and then connecting the editor to the nREPL started by the app. The default port is 7000. However, you can use lein repl as well, once it starts you just have to run the (start) function to initialize the app.

@yogthos Thanks, I found this out just now after a little bit more experimentation. Also, re-reading the docs makes this pretty clear to me, although it wasn't totally obvious at first. I wonder if the docs would benefit from an adjustment or if I am the only person who ran into this issue. It looks like folks can still comment on closed issues, so we can tell if this issue gets any further interest. If I think of a clearer wording in the docs, I'll submit a pr if you are open to that.

I'll add a note about lein repl workflow in the guestbook walkthrough, I'm sure you weren't the only one to get tripped up. :)
