Hoplon Example

A Hoplon project with Castra designed to test capabilities of Castra, Javelin, and Hoplon.

Dependencies

• java 1.7+
• boot

Usage

Development

1. Install boot. This is as simple as following instructions on boot page (https://github.com/boot-clj/boot). You do not need clojure, nor any other dependency - only Java 1.7 and boot.

2. Create database with boot createdb. It'll download all dependencies, clojure and clojurescript, then it will create a database with some seeds for you.

3. Start the dev task. In a terminal run:

   $ boot dev

   This will give you a Hoplon development setup with:

   • auto compilation on file changes
   • audible warning for compilation success or failures
   • auto reload the html page on changes
   • Clojurescript REPL

4. Go to http://localhost:8000 in your browser. You should see "Hello, Hoplon and Castra!" with random numbers that are generated on the server and transmited to the client. But you should change that to what you want.

5. If you edit and save a file, the task will recompile the code and reload the browser to show the updated version.

Production

1. Run the prod task. In a terminal run:

   $ boot prod

2. The compiled files will be on the target/ directory. This will use advanced compilation and prerender the html.

1. Get a Heroku account and install the Heroku toolbelt
