The Pedestal web application framework

Primary LanguageClojure

Pedestal Build Status

Pedestal is a web application framework written in Clojure that aims to bring both the language and its principles (Simplicity, Power and Focus) to client and server-side development.

Getting started

Starting a new project

Use leiningen (2.2.0+) to create a new Pedestal application or service. This will automatically pull templates from http://clojars.org

# To create a new client-side application:
lein new pedestal-app the-next-big-thing

# To create a new service:
lein new pedestal-service the-next-big-server-side-thing

See documentation for information on Pedestal concepts and advice on getting started.

Roadmap

Our primary focus for the near future is Pedestal documentation, sample applications and improving general ease of use.

Documentation

  • Pedestal documentation: overview of Pedestal concepts and advice on getting started.
  • API Docs: generate literate-programming-style API docs by following the "What about API Documentation?" instructions in the Pedestal Overview.

Supported Platforms

At present Pedestal supports OSX and Linux environments. At this time we do not support using Pedestal on a Windows environment.

Some good news: We will still gladly accept pull requests extending our Windows support

The bad news: We will not invest significant amounts of time into diagnosing or correcting Windows issues.
