Emacs 24 config for Clojure and web development using HTML/CSS/JavaScript

My Emacs 24 config files for Clojure and Ruby stuff.

Installation

First Time Install

1. Create a softlink to the dot-emacs.d directory in ~/.emacs.d

   $ cd emacs24-config
   $ ln -s `pwd`/dot-emacs.d ~/.emacs.d

2. Start the GUI Emacs app - it will take time to download/install extensions

3. Quit Emacs

4. Create a softlink to the file dot-emacs.d/username.el in ~/.emacs.d/${USER}.el

   $ cd emacs24-config
   $ ln -s `pwd`/dot-emacs.d/username.el ~/.emacs.d/${USER}.el

5. Start Emacs again to see effect

6. For web development using swank-js install Node.js first. (Ubuntu folks should get a newer version than what apt-get gives.)

7. To enable flycheck, you may need Node.js (see #6) as a common dependency first. Then, install the following (find external linters with C-c ! ?):

   • JSHint http://jshint.com/install/ (sudo npm install -g jshint)
   • HTML-Tidy https://github.com/w3c/tidy-html5 (Ubuntu: apt-get install tidy)
   • CSSLint https://github.com/stubbornella/csslint (sudo npm install -g csslint)

Upgrade

1. Remove all files/folders except *.project, init.el, packages.el, setup-slime-js.el and username.el
2. Follow the steps listed in First Time Install

Usage

• Press Super-j (Cmd+j on Mac, Win+j on PC) to open a project

• Press Super-i (Cmd+i on Mac, Win+i on PC) to open Dirtree (file explorer)

• For CSS/JS web development, either run M-x slime-js-jack-in-node or

  • start webapp at port 3000
  • start swank-js using npm run swank
  • run M-x slime-connect

  Then visit http://localhost:8009/swank-js/test.html in browser.
