hello. Is there a way to apply a babel transform plugin directly to shadow-cljs rather than trying to solve it by applying it post-js compilation? The one I had in mind is https://www.npmjs.com/package/babel-plugin-relay . I've seen a few ways that this had been used for vite and esbuild as well. Thank you

no, since shadow-cljs doesn't use babel for most code

thank you. would a good option be to work with https://code.thheller.com/blog/shadow-cljs/2020/05/08/how-about-webpack-now.html#option-2-js-provider-external and then use the build tool of choice to complete the process? If so, would there be a way to feed it back into shadow-cljs such that it can be served through clojure instead of a js-server?

that depends on the build tool you use

if it outputs a regular .js file then yes

if it requires running the server during dev (eg. vite) then it won't

wonderful. thank you very much for shadow-cljs and for your help! I'll try this out now

hi again. I tried the following and seem to be stuck with trying to split up the build process between shadow-cljs and babel. The following is the cleanest path I could think of: 1. run shadow-cljs compile app using this edn:

{:lein         {:profile "+shadow-cljs"}
 :builds       {:app {:target     :browser
                      :output-dir "resources/public/js"
                      :asset-path "/js"
                      :modules    {:app {:init-fn reagent-project.core/init!}}
                      :js-options
                      {:js-provider :external
                       :external-index "target/index.js"}}}
 :dev-http     {3000 {:root    "resources/public"
                      :handler reagent-project.handler/app}}}
