bb-pod-racer

Speed up development of Babashka pods.

Overview

This little library takes care of the overhead of communicating with Babashka.

Example

Specify the namespaces and functions that should be exposed to Babashka scripts in a pod-config and call pod-racer.core/launch. For example, with this pod namespace:

(ns pod.main
  (:require [pod-racer.core :as pod]))

(defn pod-fun
  [num]
  (inc num))

(def pod-config
  {:pod/namespaces
   [{:pod/ns "pod.example"
     :pod/vars [{:var/name "pod-fun"
                 :var/fn pod-fun}]}]})

(defn -main [& _args]
  (pod/launch pod-config))

And this Babashka script:

#!/usr/bin/env bb

(require '[babashka.pods :as pods])

(pods/load-pod ["clojure" "-M" "-m" "pod.main"])

(require '[pod.example :as example])

(example/pod-fun 1)

The result will be:

$ ./pod_test.clj
2

Projects using bb-pod-racer

• tabl - Make tables from data in your terminal
• brisk - Freeze and thaw with Nippy at the command line

Caveats

No support (yet) for:

• Lazy loading of namespaces
• Async functions
