Example project for Cljs/Om using Boot instead of Lein. Inspired by chestnut.

For now, this is a example project instead of a lein template.

You should first install Boot. Also you should be running the latest version.

• Simple Compojure backend
• Simple Om frontend
• LESS to write stylesheets
  • boot-less is able to import files from classpath
  • You can add dependency to e.g. bootstrap from webjars to your regular dependencies and then use @import "bootstrap/less/bootstrap.less" on your .less files.
• dev task starts the whole development workflow
  • Check boot dev --help for options
  • Repl should automatically include cljs middlewares
  • Browser repl included
  • No need to change index.html, resulting unified JS can be loaded like :advanced compiled.
  • Watches for file changes
    • *.less changes trigger less compilation
    • *.cljs changes trigger cljs compilation
  • Live-reloading
    • *.js, *.css, *.html changes send notification to browser throught websocket and browser loads the new files
• package task creates uberjar
  • Cljs will be compiled using :advanced optimization
  • Uses minified react.js

To start everything run:

$ boot dev
boot.user=>
# App should now be running, you can use following commands to restart the app
boot.user=> (in-ns 'saapas.main)
saapas.main=> (stop) ; Stop app
saapas.main=> (start) ; Start app
saapas.main=> (reset) ; Stop, reload all namespaces, start

If you want a repl where you can execute commands, you can start a nrepl client which connects to the nrepl server started by the dev task by running

$ boot repl -c

• Less compilation and css livereload
• Production build (uberjar)
• Tests
  • boot-test
