lemonpi-reagent

This is the beginning of a clojurescript frontend project for an assignment for Lemonpi.

advertisers api call
stats api call
Display the desired data in a table
Style table and page

Still to do

Sorting columns (click and it will sort)
Persisting sort params in url
Tests

Notes

There is room for a lot of improvement.

tests would be good. I have been searching for any docs on how to test reagent components. i.e. why is my ^{:key ...} not appearing in my data rows?!?
Sorting is coming, but it is time for bed
Styling needs a better solution using something modular. (I bumped into garden, but have to look at it more closely)
I'm not that happy with the check and merge mechanism to add the clicks and impressions values from stats. I will see if core.async can solve this problem elegantly. React's useEffect works for this really well. And Rxjs's switch- and mergeMap. There must be something, I just have to poke around and figure out how this has been solved.

Development mode

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 nREPL 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.

Optional development tools

Start the browser REPL:

$ lein repl

The Jetty server can be started by running:

(start-server)

and stopped by running:

(stop-server)

Building for release

lein do clean, uberjar

Deploying to Heroku

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.
