Requirements

  • JDK 1.7+
  • Leiningen 2.5.3
  • node.js 5.1.1 [This is done to match the verion of node.js being used in Electron v0.37.2]
  • NSIS

On Mac/Linux, installing node.js using Node Version Manager is recommended.

This project uses Electron v0.35.2. Please check Electron's GitHub page for the latest version. The version is specified in Gruntfile.js under the Grunt Config section.

Setup

On Mac/Linux:

scripts/setup.sh

On Windows:

scripts\setup.bat

This will install the node dependencies for the project, along with grunt and bower and will also run grunt setup.

Development mode

Start the figwheel server:

lein figwheel

If you are on OSX/Linux and have rlwrap installed, you can start the figwheel server with:

rlwrap lein figwheel

This will give better readline support.

More about figwheel here.

In another terminal window, launch the electron app:

grunt launch

You can edit the src/cljs/teaspoon_demo/core.cljs file and the changes should show up in the electron app without the need to re-launch.

Using nREPL with figwheel

  • Start the repl using lein repl.

Creating a build for release

To create a Windows build from a non-Windows platform, please install wine. On OS X, an easy option is using homebrew.

On Windows before doing a production build, please edit the scripts/build-windows-exe.nsi file. The file is the script for creating the NSIS based setup file.

On Mac OSX, please edit the variables for the plist in release-mac task in Gruntfile.js.

Using electron-packager, we are able to create a directory which has OS executables (.app, .exe etc) running from any platform.

If NSIS is available on the path, a further setup executable will be created for Windows. Further, if the release command is run from a OS X machine, a DMG file will be created.

To create the release directories:

grunt release

This will create the directories in the builds folder.

Note: you will need to be on OSX to create a DMG file and on Windows to create the setup .exe file.

Grunt commands

To run a command, type grunt <command> in the terminal.

Command Description
setup Download electron project, installs bower dependencies and setups up the app config file.
launch Launches the electron app
release Creates a Win/OSX/Linux executables
outdated List all outdated clj/cljs/node/bower dependencies

Leiningen commands
