chestnut

A Leiningen template for a ClojureScript setup with Figwheel, Austin, Om.

Usage

lein new chestnut <name>

After that open the README of your new project for further instructions.

tl;dr

$ lein repl

(run)
(browser-repl)

$ lein figwheel

Browse to http://localhost:10555.

List of Contents

This template gives you everything you need to start developing Clojure/ClojureScript apps effectively. It comes with

• Figwheel Automatically reload your ClojureScript code as soon as you save the file, no need for browser refresh.
• Austin Next generation browser connected REPL. Try things out and manipulate your running app.
• Om ClojureScript interface to Facebook's React.
• Ring Clojure's de facto HTTP interface. Chestnut uses a Jetty server to serve the Clojurescript app. This way you already have an HTTP server running in case you want to add server-side functionality.
• Heroku support. Chestnut apps have all the bits and pieces to be deployable to Heroku. Getting your app on the web is as simple as git push.

Local copy

To run a local copy (if you want to customize Chestnut):

git clone https://github.com/plexus/chestnut.git
cd chestnut
lein install

Sources

I used the browser-connected-repl that's included with Austin as a starting point, then pulled in bits from cljs-liveedit-webapp until things worked.

For Heroku support I looked at Heroku's clojure-getting-started example app.
