# views.reagent Example - Todo MVC

This is a modification of the Todo MVC app for Reagent [demonstrated here][1]. This version of the
app has been modified to use a PostgreSQL database to store the Todos and to provide realtime 
synchronization of changes to that data to any number of users currently viewing the app.

## Running

### Creating the Database

This example app uses a PostgreSQL database. The SQL script to create it is in `create_db.sql`. 

A Docker compose file `pgsql.docker-compose.yml` is provided and pre-configured to allow you to
quickly spin up a PostgreSQL database that will be pre-initialized via `create_db.sql` through
Docker.

    $ docker-compose -f pgsql.docker-compose.yml up

Alternatively, if you already have a PostgreSQL database available, you can run the 
`create_db.sql` via `psql` easily enough:

    $ psql < create_db.sql

(Of course, add any username/host parameters you might need)

### Starting It Up

To build everything and run in one step:

    $ lein rundemo
    
Then open up a web browser or two and head to http://localhost:8080/ to see the web app in action.

If you want to run this application in a REPL, just be sure to build the ClojureScript:

    $ lein cljsbuild once

And then in the REPL you can just run:

    (-main)

to start the web app (you should be put in the correct namespace immediately).
