An Interactive Clojure repl, inspired by IPython.
The simplest way to start with IClojure is to download the latest standalone IClojure jar
curl -O -L http://clk.tc/iclojure-latest.jar
java -jar iclojure-latest.jar
Alternatively, you can download the following script, mark it executable and put it somewhere in path
curl -O https://raw.github.com/cosmin/IClojure/master/bin/iclojure
chmod +x iclojure
sudo mv iclojure /usr/local/bin
Then you can simply launch iclojure at any time.
If you are already using Leiningen the simplest way to get started with IClojure is to use the lein-iclojure plugin.
lein plugin install lein-iclojure "1.0"
lein irepl
If you are already using the latest clojure-maven-plugin snapshot you can simply add IClojure to your dependencies
<dependency>
<groupId>org.offbytwo.iclojure</groupId>
<artifactId>iclojure</artifactId>
<version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>
and then IClojure will replace the usual repl
mvn clojure:repl
IClojure ships with the latest alpha of Clojure 1.4, although it supports Clojure >= 1.2
git checkout https://github.com/cosmin/IClojure
cd IClojure
bin/run.sh
You can package IClojure for distribution, including sources and a standalone jar with
mvn clean package
The iclojure-*-standalone.jar is a self-contained Jar that includes all the necessary dependencies.
- Tab completion
- Shorthand for source and doc
- Shorthand for introspecting Java objects and classes via reflection
- Proper Control-C handling, although not very portable
- persist history across sessions to ~/.iclojure_history
- input and output caching of last 1000 elements
- variable
- method invocations
- "(.method" completion for all java methods for any of the classes in the current namespace
- "(. object method" completion for all the methods of the object (or a form that evaluates to an object)
- namespaces
- java classes
- import statements for both symbols and import lists
In addition to the Clojure convention of caching the last 3 output in *1, *2 and *3 IClojure also caches the last 1000 input and output
(input 102) ; => returns the input from line 102
(output 102) ; => returns the output from line 102
?symbol => (doc symbol)
??symbol => (source symbol)
%d symbol => show constructors, methods and fields of the given object or Class
%f class => find all classes matching this name (supports globs)
%f class package => like the above, but restrict search to the given package
- tab completion for require and use forms
- abort long runing tasks with Ctrl+C
- launch editor from within IClojure
