Welcome to Figwheel's default dev page

TLDR: you can use your own index.html page instead of this helper page by creating a resources/public/index.html file as detailed here

This page is currently hosting your application code and REPL (Read Eval Print Loop). As you change your code and save it, the changed code will be hot loaded into this browser page.

If you return to the terminal where you launched figwheel and enter valid ClojureScript code at the cljs.user=> prompt, the code will be compiled to Javascript and evaluated in the JavaScript environment on this page.

If you close this page the REPL will cease to function.

Index.html not provided

You are here because you have not provided your own index.html page to host your application yet.

There is nothing wrong with this. You can use this page as a scaffold to develop your project on for as long as it's helpful.

If your code needs to work with HTML elements on this page there is a convenient <div id="app"> provided for this purpose. When you replace the contents of the app element it will remove all the current content and style from this page.

A file named index.html does not have to be provided. You can provide any other html file as a host page. For example resources/public/app.html. In this case, you may want to change :open-url to "http://[[server-hostname]]:[[server-port]]/app.html" in order to change the launch page.

Providing your own index.html

You can create your own index.html and place it in resources/public/index.html and it will be displayed instead of this page.

The most important part of creating your index.html page is ensuring that your compiled ClojureScript gets loaded onto the page.

To get started place the following HTML code at resources/public/index.html:
