Replique-pedestal

This an example project for using replique with pedestal.

• Clone the project
• Start a REPL (M-x replique/repl ) in the directory where the project was cloned
• Load the replique-pedestal.core namespace. From the replique-pedestal.core namespace, start the server (http/start server). The server is started on port 8080.
• Turn the REPL into a cljs REPL: M-x replique/cljs-repl and, once prompted for a namespace, select "replique_pedestal.front"
• Open a browser tab at localhost:8080
• Notice that the HTML markup references a main.js file. The main.js file already exists in the directory resources/public/. resources/public/ is the assets folder of the web server started by pedestal.
• At this point, the cljs REPL should be fully functional. The browser has successfully connected to it.
• Open the front.cljs file. Change the string "This works" into "This works2". Save the file and and load it: M-x replique/load-file. The replique-pedestal.front has been loaded in the browser and compiled to disk.
• Reload the browser page, notice how the replique-pedestal.front namespace is executed again.

The main.js file was already there when you cloned the repository. Let's see how this file was generated.

• Quit the cljs REPL: :cljs/quit
• From the replique-pedestal.core namespace, change the script included in the index page to be: <script src=\"/main2.js\"></script>. Reload the namespace: M-x replique/load-file
• Turn the REPL into a cljs REPL: M-x replique/cljs-repl
• Reload the browser page. Notice that the browser complains that the main2.js cannot be found
• Try to type something in the cljs REPL. Nothing happens because the REPL is waiting for a browser to connect. Let's fix it.
• Execute the following command: M-x replique/output-main-js-file. Enter the following path on the first prompt: resources/public/main2.js. Enter the following namespace on the second prompt: replique-pedestal.front.
• Reload the browser page ... it works !
