Migrating to Clojure CLI: A Comprehensive Guide
Migrate projects - Practicalli Clojure 🔗
Migrating a project to Clojure CLI involves creating a deps.edn file, which can be as simple as an empty hash-map. Essential for running the project, this file specifies the Clojure version and any required libraries. The Practicalli REPL Reloaded tool allows for hotloading libraries into a running REPL for easier debugging and dependency management. It's important to define directory paths in the deps.edn for seamless operation across different environments, including continuous integration (CI). The file also supports the addition of test runners and deployment configurations, essential for setting up a continuous delivery pipeline. Various migration tools facilitate the transition from Leiningen to Clojure CLI projects.
- Create a deps.edn file to specify Clojure version and dependencies.
- Use Practicalli REPL Reloaded for hotloading libraries and diagnosing conflicts.
- Define project paths and aliases in deps.edn for CI and deployment.
What is the purpose of the deps.edn file?
The deps.edn file is used to configure a Clojure project, specifying the Clojure version and any necessary dependencies for the project to run.
How can I diagnose dependency conflicts in my Clojure project?
Using the Practicalli REPL Reloaded tool, you can hotload libraries into a running REPL, which allows you to load dependencies in stages to identify conflicts.
What tools can assist with migrating projects from Leiningen to Clojure CLI?
Tools like lein-to-deps and lein-tools-deps can help create a deps.edn configuration from a project.clj and share dependencies between Leiningen and Clojure CLI projects.
