Is there a clojure.spec for deps.edn? I'm working if you can compose aliases in the deps.edn file

@mruzekw you can't compose them as in make one alias that consists of the merge of two other aliases

Thanks. The idea was to be able to compose up simple commands for common workflows without having to think about what's needed upfront. So for instance, have a :env/dev specifying all dev deps/paths, and :dev using that definition in addition to a :main-opts Allows for a simple clj -M:dev entry point, while also allowing reuse of :env/dev separately.

yeah, you can right now only compose that on the command line, like clj -M:env/dev:dev

Gotcha :thumbsup: Thanks

Looks like I could achieve something similar with tools.build

Nice! Having this feature would be awesome. For now I'm using tools.build and https://github.com/seancorfield/build-clj to create a simple singular interface for all tasks. My goal is for it to appeal to beginners.

clj -T:build run
clj -T:build run-dev
clj -T:build test
...

I'm building that out here for now: https://github.com/mruzekw/clojure-starters/tree/master/skaffold-dev
