Hello, that seems like a great step forward

Does anyone have a template or can point me to a template for using lumo for building a nodejs cli tool ?

I will need to use http requests

@rdanielo, I'd encourage you to just try it out from the repl. You can use node.js functions using JS interop

I am tired of REPLs, they're fun to start with, but as soon as you want non trivial work the become useless

I've been struggling with cljs for two days

I have setup 3 different test projects, using 3 different templates and It's being a nightmare

For an example project you could look at unravel: https://github.com/Unrepl/unravel

I now have a small project that works, but it is sooo slooow to start up and reload the files that everytime I want to check something on the repl I forget about what I was looking for

I think you can get code reloading to work with Figwheel, but I haven't done that before

(not with lumo though, that would be using the hosted compiler)

With node as a target ^^

I am using Fighwheel with node, and it is working, but the REPL is very slow

I tried lumo, and it is delightfully fast

But now I just want to setup things and start building a cmd tool with lumo

what you can do is to use a tool like watchexec to rerun/restart the lumo process whenever a file changes

or run tests

it lets you iterate pretty quickly

watchexec is a node package ?

How do you start lumo repl ? The commandline arguments are quite long. I am tempted to put it on the npm scripts section

This is being helpful

first cut at the wiki - done 🎉 https://github.com/anmonteiro/lumo/wiki

Second cljs dep to be published on npm 😄 https://www.npmjs.com/package/@honeysql/honeysql

I am very confused. How does that even work?

the readme does not show how to use as a node dep.

Yep that is still a good TODO contribution, at the moment the doc is a bit in the air. So https://github.com/anmonteiro/lumo/issues/130.

so basically instead of packaging in a jar we package in a tarbal and some convention in package.json tells us where to find the cljs src

Thats pretty cool @richiardiandrea

honeysql is basically data transformation so it was a pretty easy win 😉

I wonder if there's a way to find all of the clojurescript libraries that have been published to npm
