ClojureScript support
Gonzih opened this issue · 4 comments
Hello there!
I must say that I love this project and idea in general. And because of my interestd I would also like to try this out in clojurescript enviroment. So my questions are:
Is clojurescript support planned at some point?
How hard is it to implement? Is your current implementation tied in any way to the jvm hosted clojure?
Thanks!
It would probably not be too hard to port this to Clojurescript, though I know very little about Clojurescript. A problem is that all the tests are written in Midje, which does not work in ClojureScript.
Since this library is going to be a building block for the next version of Midje, there's a considerable circular dependency problem.
I have gotten around this restriction by developing everything in cljc code but only testing on the jvm side. For namespaces that don't make any jvm specific code it is as simple as renaming the extension.
Of course, if there is jvm specific code then it must be dealt with separately.
This isn't ideal, but does go a long way towards a solution.
I do encourage others to take a whack at this. These days, I'm thinking that I want to do frontend work in Elm, but obviously Clojurescript is important.
It looks like a considerable amount of work to port to cljs, there are many dependencies that are JVM only. But I think it clearly worth the effort.
