Noob question: Is it possible (or is there an example I can check out) of how to build hoplon in dev for an alternative web server? For example, I am used to embedding react/reagent apps into an html page (via an ID on a div tag). My web framework creates the html page and includes the reagent js file.

I understand that in the advanced optimization boot task, the HTML and JS files are emitted and are deployable.

maybe something like this is what you seek? https://github.com/alandipert/embedded-hoplon-example

ah, yes!

I was just looking at those examples and must have missed that one.

https://yogthos.net/posts/2016-06-06-WorkingWithHoplon.html is another way, with lein

well, same way really. only slightly different

okay great, I’ll take a look at both of those

thank you much

I’d like to go with boot if possible.

no prob

and good choice 👌

I’m getting the following error on boot dev of the embedded-hoplon-example project:

I cloned the project from github and then ran boot dev in the root… am I missing something?

I’m more than happy to track down the error if someone can point me toward the light.

Maybe I’ll try bumping all the dep versions?

(to what’s used in the starter project)

Sorry for the noise, that seems to have worked. I can put a PR in if that’s helpful (just some version changes).

So, the other hang-up I have with using Hoplon with another web framework is that boot dev doesn’t generate any JS files which I can server from a web server. Is that correct?

you can add the target task to generate fileset into the target dir

but you shouldn’t need that when working within boot

Or, put another way, I’m wondering how the (serve ...) boot task gets its assets (html, and js) to serve?

@dm3 ah, I see, you’re assuming that I’m serving the web page via (serve ...) though, correct?

@dm3 thank you I’ll go educate myself 🙂

also, thanks for the target tip, I’m not sure why I didn’t consider it
