Newbie question. In calva When I jack-in I choose deps.edn + shadow as project-type , :dev as alias, :app as build and then asks me build to connect :app in this case. This should start backend and frontend, and can connect and use the same REPL for both. How this is done in cider?

use the command cider-jack-in-cljs. personally for cljs projects i use a script and run it with npm, then connect it from cider with cider-connect-cljs. i'm also trying emacs coming from vscode calva and having a lot of fun configuring packages and vim style keybindings using meow, but not getting a lot of work done.

in your shadow-cljs file you can do :deps {:aliases [:dev]} instead of :deps true

This are my shadow and deps files

Hi @ianchow Thanks. At the end I launch from terminal and connect from cider. Unsucesfull to find a way to do it like calva, all in once, but it's ok this way, not a drama

oh, yeah for clj i still have to add the aliases manually. i write (setq cider-edit-jack-in-command t) in my init.el file, so it will prompt me everytime i do cider-jack-in-clj , and i append the aliases myself to the -M part. example -M:cider/nrepl:dev:test . i'm not sure how you'd get a menu to select your aliases by pressing SPC like in calva.
