Clojure dev utils

My personal clojure utilities to work with clojure CLI.

Extracted from my dotfiles, used with my personal deps.edn. Take a look to the :user alias.

Installation

Add the dependency to your project, or to your ~/.config/clojure/deps.edn:

{:aliases
 {:user
  {:extra-deps {me.lafuente/clj-dev-utils {:git/url "https://github.com/jlesquembre/clj-dev-utils"
                                           :git/tag "1.0"
                                           :git/sha "7d76d43"}}
   :exec-fn local-utils/init}}}

Alternatively, if you prefer to clone the project locally:

{:aliases
 {:user
  {:extra-deps {me.lafuente/clj-dev-utils {:local/root "/path/to/clj-dev-utils"}}
   :exec-fn local-utils/init}}}

Usage

clj -X:user

That command will execute the local-utils/init function. It takes some optional arguments:

• main: Main entry point for your program. It will require that namespace.
• exec: Boolean, defaults to false. If true, the main function will be executed.
• args: Arguments to the main function.
• nrepl: Boolean, defaults to true. If true, an nrepl server will be started.
• portal: Boolean, defaults to false. If true, calls (portal.api/open)
• extra-requires: Comma separated lists of libs to require. Executes (require '[lib]) for each lib.

E.g.:

clj -X:user :main myname.myapp/-main :exec true :args '["foo"]' :nrepl true :portal true :extra-requires dev,extra-lib

REPL helpers

A namespace called . with dev utilities is created. We use dot-slash-2 for that. Once your editor is connected to the REPL, type ./ to see the helper.
