runclj

tooling around single file clojurescript programs running on node or the browser.

runclj ./rotate_the_logs.cljs

transparently converts a single clojurescript file into a temporary shadow-cljs project in .shadow-cljs/.

get the dependencies:

• bash
• python3
• java
• node
• npm

then:

git clone https://github.com/nathants/runclj
sudo mv runclj/bin/* runclj/bin/.shadow-cljs /usr/local/bin

• hello.cljs - node hello world
• shell.cljs - node with subprocess, user prompts, and core.async
• server.cljs - node express server
• client.cljs - client app with material ui (demo)
• macros.cljs - node hello world with macros

runclj program.cljs

declare clojure and npm dependencies with meta-data at the start of the file.

#!/usr/bin/env runclj
^{:runclj {:npm [[express "4.16.3"]]
           :deps [[prismatic/schema "1.1.3"]]}}
(ns main
  (:require [schema.core :as schema :include-macros true]))

run the program.

runclj program.cljs

• runclj-watch examples/client.cljs

• open browser to localhost:8000

• edit client.cljs and browser auto reloads

• optionally connect to repl on localhost:3333

runclj examples/server.cljs

runclj-tar program.cljs | ssh server tar xf -

then either install runclj and run normally runclj program.cljs

or run manually:

• browser: cd .shadow-cljs/program.cljs/public && python3 -m http.server

• server: cd .shadow-cljs/program.cljs/ && node public/main.js

if your project grows too large for a single file, copy the generated shadow-cljs project and continue working on that directly.

• runclj program.cljs

• cp -r .shadow-cljs/program.cljs program

alternatively lift and shift to a project template like aws-gocljs.
