Simple Clojure/ClojureScript Web App Leiningen Template
A Leiningen template for creating new Clojure/ClojureScript web app projects using a simplified / stripped-down base.
Too often I find myself wanting to start a new web application project with just a really simple, light-weight base. In these cases, I almost always don't want a bunch of extra junk cluttering up the project tree. A lot of the time this is just to help me write a very quick/simple test application for something I'm working on (e.g. a little web app to serve as a simple test or demo project for a library I'm working on).
A lot of the other Leiningen templates out there for creating web applications include a lot of this type of extra junk out of the box, so I created this template as an alternative. This template primarily exists for my own use, so some stuff is more oriented towards my own particular preferences regarding the set-up and organization of a Clojure project.
Includes out-of-the-box support for:
- Ring/Compojure
- http-kit
- Reagent
- Figwheel
Usage
$ lein new simple-web-app [your-project-name-here]
Then you can spin up figwheel and run the server-side component by running the following each in their own separate CLI instances:
$ lein figwheel
$ lein run
Out of the box the web app will be running at http://localhost:8080/
A ClojureScript REPL is also configured by Figwheel on port 7000. Run (cljs-repl) once connected.
An uber JAR for deployment can be created with:
$ lein uberjar
