Newbie question. I want to do some interactive development so I'm running shadow-cljs watch server app but I think I want to turn off hot reloading because I'm setting local vars to aid debugging and they are lost when the namespace reloads.

(I'm using comments in the namespace to prepare sexprs to send to the repl)

I can see that I could add metadata to the namespace to say "hands off" but is there a way to tell the file watcher to stop watching.

I tried shadow-cljs compile server app but it wasn't happy.

put the local vars in a defonce atom

Can you stop the watcher?

you don't need to if you put the vars in a defonce

in a atom

That's not particuarly convienient for what I'm doing

like (defonce my-locals (atom { })

e.g. set db var then execute part of an existing fn which exects a local var

I see it would work as a workaround though. Thanks.

im not sure why it's a work around

that IS the way as far as I understand

so that you can keep the repl alive

Okay, thanks. I'll give that a try. (also ^:dev/once will get me where I want to go)

Just curious for the repl command. There was one for figwheel called stop-autobuild.

yes, but why would you want to turn it off? thats basically clojure killer feature

isolate your state to a an atom

Okay, thanks.

np, I'm new to clojure too

just created a simple textfile parser, no state 😄

wonderful stuff

off to bed!

🙂

wait till you play with instaparse... you'll feel like a god!

@olivergeorge there is (shadow.cljs.devtools.api/watch-set-autobuild! :the-build-id false) to stop the automatic rebuild or you can set :devtools {:autoload false} in your build config to still run the automatic watch rebuild but not automatically load it

you can also start the watch from the CLJ REPL with (shadow.cljs.devtools.api/watch :the-build-id {:autobuild false})

Thanks 🙂

Hi @thheller, I remember a discussion about a Shadow-cljs build-hook for parse/write in index.html I think. Can you refresh my memory about the name please?

https://github.com/thheller/shadow-cljs/blob/master/shadow-cljs.edn#L147-L149?

Great, thanks!

Is there anything special you need to do to get shadow-cljs to work with a https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14381898/local-dependency-in-package-json/14387210#14387210? I've checked the project directory after installing the local package, and it created a symlink under npm_modules to the local module on my disk.

But when I try to require the file, it says the required JS dependency is not available .
