hey guys, i need a bit of feedback on how to best approach a problem i'm trying to solve

so, basically, i'm writing a library that should accept a value (typically a map) that can have nested functions

what would be my best approach to handling this ? i'm feeling like eval is not my best option here, since it probably allows way too much logic -- but i'm not sure

so, e.g., {:foo :bar} would be a perfect value to pass to this library, but so are (fn [] {:foo :bar}) or [:foo {:bar (fn [] :wombat)}] which would return {:foo :bar} and [:foo {:bar :wombat}] respectively

or should i perhaps be using walk

well, i ended up doing this:

(postwalk (fn [x] (if (function? x) (x) x)) data)

following the https://github.com/bhauman/lein-figwheel/wiki/Quick-Start results in Figwheel Server: Resource not found

is this expected?

anyone uses spacemacs?

how does it work with clojure? I have to use something in CLI, so either vim or spacemacs. i tried nvim-parinfer and it was unusable, probably someone who is familiar with the situation can resolve it, but I couldn't

but parinfer is not in spacemacs yet

@ashnur check this out, it’s for Atom but it will get let you start smoothly https://atom.io/packages/proto-repl

how can i use that in the cli?

for 2 days i am asking for help, and the first person who responds doesn't even read the question

the famous clojure community...

@ashconnor I think most of the developers do not use spacemacs but atom or cursive

ok, now I think you are just trolling me

nope, IM telling only what I think and see

ok, so you are telling me that if i have this limitation i should just give up, because there are no ways ahead

thanks for helping!

No, maybe ask in the clojure channel

I think you never have to give up

@ashnur I don't use emacs anymore but Cursive, can I ask the reason behind "I have to use something in the CLI"?

As to your question: You might get better help in #editors or #emacs

I ask, because you could use more beginner friendly editors, and connect to a remote REPL (if that is the reason you need to use the CLI)

if you give me another laptop that can run those things, sure

I think that atom can run on most of the laptops

it can, but do i want to endure the sluggishness of it?

emacs through ssh is less slow

So you work on a server ?

nah, it's just next room, but where i live now has no place for a table, so i can't use that machine because no place to put the monitor and the keyboard, i mean i tried but my back got hurt from the awkward position

do i really have to tell you my life story to believe when i say i have to it's not a "i think i might have to but actually i am stupid, please decide for me"

nope, We just try to help you

why not run clojure on your laptop then

i don't really see the help part, i am sorry 🙂

i see the try to make me be like you part, and i believe that you believe that would be helpful for me

i am not installing the jvm on this machine

there is enough shit on it already

i checked the nodejs version but it had some issues, gave up on it

oke, then I hope you get help from another person. I agree with rauh that #editors or #emacs you can get help sooner as here

thanks, i joined those channels too

@ashnur good luck

@ashnur I haven't used it personally, but I hear spacemacs is a great match for Clojure. Check out vim-fireplace as well if you like vim.

@ashnur: I use spacemacs. It has a clojure layer that works pretty fine right from the get-go, hasn't required much setup (though I usually don't use a repl in-editor), and has all the basics down (code highlighting, autocomplete, paredit functionality etc.) All I've done by way of setup is add the clojure, evil-cleverparens, and auto-completion layers and then in my user config:

(spacemacs/toggle-evil-cleverparens-on)
  (add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook #'evil-cleverparens-mode)
  (setq cider-show-error-buffer nil)
  (with-eval-after-load 'clojure-mode
    (dolist (c (string-to-list ":_-?!#*"))
      (modify-syntax-entry c "w" clojure-mode-syntax-table )))

There's also a spacemacs channel here

@ashnur Did you resolve your figwheel issue? I'm not at my computer so I'm afraid I can't give any better help than "it worked for me"... There is a #lein-figwheel channel as well that the author of figwheel checks from time to time.

I think some people add parinfer to their spacemacs config too as a separate package. (I don't much like parinfer myself, so I've not tried. Spacemacs has baked in parens matching, rainbow parens, and lisp editing mode with slurp and such, plus the clojure mode indenting is awesome; those are quite enough for me)

Hi all. Trying to get protorepl working with a reframe project. Would like to enable the auto eval file option, when I do I get a bunch of warnings though. Showing errors on things like enable console print. Any tips?

thanks for all the responses, will check the mentioned tools

@dorianc.b Thank you. Are you able to auto eval cljs files? I was able to run clojure without errors, but I get these errors with the cljs

@curlyfry nope, i still get resource not found

Any Linux clojure developers here ?

@aramz oh my apologies I misread I didn’t realize you meant cljs. I also get the same error. When I start proto-repl it does state that it is unsupported. You can ask the developer of proto-repl in the proto-repl channel

@dorianc.b I think it is limited, but what I have been trying to figure out is how can I connect to a remote repl

proto-repl has the option to connect to a remote repl

trouble is I don’t understand how to start a remote repl that will eval the forms and load the ns etc

I have just been using lein figwheel and that runs fine

I can interact via the command line, but I don’t see a repl address and port to connect to via proto-repl

Do I need to use figwheel + sidecar + nrepl + piggieback?

Is this about atom ?

yes, the repl addon for atom

proto-repl

oke, I was thinking of using it locally on Linux but maybe I have to look for another one

proto-repl doesn't work with clojurescript

if you want to connect to figwheel over nrepl you have to use repl-lite in atom

it's pretty bad, and I've been meaning to improve it, but it works

@aramz piggieback etc is all complicated (to me:P), to get up and running with atom, create a new chestnut project because it's going to give you all the things you need to connect to figwheel over nrepl. lein new chestnut my-project cd my-project lein repl that's gonna kick you into the user namespace which is the stuff in dev/user there are functions in there you use, but before that grab the nrepl port number that was outputted from lein repl At this point you want to switch to atom and connect to the nrepl instance using repl-lite, do that with the shortcut ctrl+r (let go) r input the nrepl port into the text box (this text box is absolute shit for some reason) and hit return. this should kick you into the user namespace now type (run) and with your cursor on the closing paren, hit ctrl+r (let go) i this is the shortcut to eval a sexp, this will start figwheel once that's done, boot the browser repl with (browser-repl)

if you want to evaluate a block or a variable, you highlight the thing and do ctrl+r (let go) j

@haywood thank you this is great, will try it out

dude, I struggle so hard with tooling

haha hopefully this helps

also if you're not using parinfer, you need to be

atom parinfer is ace

Hopefully, I’m still just in the early stages, so even just running figwheel is already on par with all my other tools, but the auto eval in proto-repl is just so amazing and of course eval a block.

yes I have parinfer installed it’s really great

yea, proto-repl only works with clojure though right?

because it wraps calls in eval or something

I was able follow a figwheel config that enabled nrepl to start

running figwheel from the repl via lein repl is def the way to go as far as nrepl and figwheel are concerned

it has sidecar and piggie, and I was able to remote connect to nrepl from proto-repl

cool beans

then I can run lein figwheel, and I see nrepl start

I was able to auto eval some re-frame components

seems like it works

word

I'll have to re-visit

:figwheel {
  ;; Start an nREPL server into the running figwheel process
  :nrepl-port 7888

  ;; Load CIDER, refactor-nrepl and piggieback middleware
  :nrepl-middleware ["cider.nrepl/cider-middleware"
                     "refactor-nrepl.middleware/wrap-refactor"
                     "cemerick.piggieback/wrap-cljs-repl"]
}

that’s the snippet from figwheel wiki

:thumbsup::skin-tone-2:

but I still can’t do (enable-console-print!) in an auto eval file

I’m sure I’m just not there yet with understanding what namespaces are auto loaded
