Yeoman generator for building web applications leveraging ClojureScript on both the front-end and back-end.

Features:

• Livereload of client and server files
• Easy distribution generation
• Stack traces with source maps applied in Node.js
• Support for testing using Specljs
• Support for Sass and Compass

• Yeoman (>=1.1.2)
• Node.js (>=0.10.26)
• Grunt (>=4.2)
• Compass (>=0.12.2)
• Leiningen (>=2.3.2)

First, install the generator:

npm install -g generator-cljs-fullstack

If you want to do development on the generator itself, do this instead:

git clone https://github.com/johntrimble/generator-cljs-fullstack.git
cd generator-cljs-fullstack
npm install
npm link

Then create a new project by executing the following:

mkdir my-project
cd my-project
yo cljs-fullstack <app-name>

From the project root, execute the following:

grunt serve

This will:

• Compile ClojureScript source
• Compile Sass source
• Start a node server running backend code at http://localhost:4000
• Start a static content server at http://localhost:9000
  • Proxies http://localhost:9000/api/ to http://localhost:4000/api/
  • Live reloads the browser on content changes (updating ClojureScript code, HTML, CSS, etc.)

Assuming there are no errors, this task should automagically open up a browser window to http://localhost:9000.

If you'd like to have your tests run continuously in the background as well, use the --with-tests options:

grunt serve --with-tests

From the project root, execute the following:

grunt

This will:

• Compile ClojureScript server source
• Compile ClojureScript client source with advanced mode
• Compile Sass source
• Concatenate and minify JavaScript source
• Minify HTML source
• Put all backend assets under dist
• Put all frontend assets under the dist/public directory
• Generate a suitable package.json at dist/package.json

Assuming there are no errors, the dist directory will be a self contained distribution of the application. The application can be started by running the following:

cd dist
npm install
npm start

From the project root, execute the following:

grunt test

This will:

• Compile ClojureScript source for the backend and frontend
• Run the backend and frontend tests

Note: This effectively runs lein cljsbuild once twice, once for the backend and once for the frontend. This means it's slow. If you plan on running tests continuously, see using --with-tests above under Development.
