Hey darwin, I was checking my own issue here

https://github.com/jupl/boot-cljs-devtools/issues/8

and I was wondering if there is a way to detect if the runtime is already installed for both dirac and cljs-devtools

Hi Richard, well, there are some “runtime” functions which will give you the answer, but I’m afraid it won’t be that easy, because boot task cannot really talk to javascript in your page, but I don’t know boot

this is the function in case of Dirac :repl feature: https://github.com/binaryage/dirac/blob/master/src/runtime/dirac/runtime/repl.cljs#L166

ahah, Andrea for friends 😄

ah, ok, sorry :

ok I'll try I think I might be able to call it at that point

np 😄

in case of custom formatters you could check this variable: https://github.com/binaryage/cljs-devtools/blob/master/src/devtools/custom_formatters.cljs#L6 but I could expose it into ‘official’ api, I think

that would be great, at the moment boot-cljs-devtools can call any function from dirac and devtools because the ns are on the classpath

so it requires and calls ['devtools.core/install! 'dirac.runtime/install!]

automagically

btw. both dirac runtime and cljs-devtools can potentially have multiple “features” independently enabled/disabled

yes I have noticed that -> https://github.com/jupl/boot-cljs-devtools/issues/6

are you really calling javascript or you are just generating some code which will be emitted into javascript files produced by boot?

no it works this way: there is a artifact.cljs.edn that is called by boot for compiling the js

that file contains :require and :init-fns keys

which are symbols called beforehand

ok, I will add, public api for detecting if given feature key is currently installed

in boot-cljs-devtools there are going to be default set of features

+ configurable from the command line

:repl :custom-formatters are default

I’m also going to add :all features key, so you will be able install all, without specifying them as list

oh awesome

also :default, which will behave like now when you don’t specify any parameter to install

perfect that saves me some work 😄

with sanity-hints it is tricky, I didn’t want to enable it by default, because it does monkey patching and that could cause some compatibility issues for some people

so it is explicit opt-in

I always personally opt-in

but I did not know that 😄
