Chlorine

Cl + Atom = Chlorine

Socket-REPL integration with Clojure and ClojureScript with Atom.

This package requires Ink to work. Install it on Atom package manager

Usage:

Fire up a clojure REPL with Socket REPL support. With shadow-cljs, when you watch some build ID it'll give you a port for nREPL and Socket REPL. With lein, invoke it in a folder where you have project.clj and you can use JVM_OPTS environment variable like:

JVM_OPTS='-Dclojure.server.myrepl={:port,5555,:accept,clojure.core.server/repl}' lein trampoline repl

You can use lein trampoline repl or lein repl: both work (but I found that using trampoline uses less memory. Notice that trampoline will not work with nREPL).

On Shadow-CLJS' newer versions, when you start a build with shadow-cljs watch <some-id>, it doesn't shows the Socket REPL port on the console, but it does create a file with the port number on .shadow-cljs/socket-repl.port. You can read that file to see the port number (Chlorine currently uses this file to mark the port as default).

With clj, you can run the following from any folder:

clj -J'-Dclojure.server.repl={:port,5555,:accept,clojure.core.server/repl}'

Or have it in :aliases in deps.edn. (For an example with port 50505 see https://github.com/seancorfield/dot-clojure/blob/master/deps.edn, then you can run clj -A:socket.)

Then, you connect Chlorine with the port using the command Connect Clojure Socket REPL. This package works with lumo too, but you'll need to run Connect ClojureScript Socket REPL.

When connected, it'll try to load compliment and org.clojure/tools.namespace (for autocomplete and refresh). Then you can evaluate code on it, and it'll render on a block decoration below the line.

Keybindings:

This package does not register any keybinding for you. You can define whatever you want. Some suggestions could be:

If you use vim-mode-plus:

'atom-text-editor.vim-mode-plus.normal-mode[data-grammar="source clojure"]':
  'g f':          'chlorine:go-to-var-definition'
  'ctrl-d':       'chlorine:doc-for-var'
  'space c':      'chlorine:connect-clojure-socket-repl'
  'space l':      'chlorine:clear-console'
  'shift-enter':  'chlorine:evaluate-block'
  'ctrl-enter':   'chlorine:evaluate-top-block'
  'ctrl-c':       'chlorine:break-evaluation'
  'space space':  'inline-results:clear-all'
  'space x':      'chlorine:run-tests-in-ns'
  'space t':      'chlorine:run-test-for-var'

'atom-text-editor.vim-mode-plus.insert-mode[data-grammar="source clojure"]':
  'shift-enter': 'chlorine:evaluate-block'
  'ctrl-enter': 'chlorine:evaluate-top-block'

If you don't use vim bindings:

'atom-text-editor[data-grammar="source clojure"]':
  'ctrl-, y':       'chlorine:connect-clojure-socket-repl'
  'ctrl-, e':       'chlorine:disconnect'
  'ctrl-, k':       'chlorine:clear-console'
  'ctrl-, f':       'chlorine:load-file'
  'ctrl-, b':       'chlorine:evaluate-block'
  'ctrl-, B':       'chlorine:evaluate-top-block'
  'ctrl-, i':       'chlorine:inspect-block'
  'ctrl-, I':       'chlorine:inspect-top-block'
  'ctrl-, s':       'chlorine:evaluate-selection'
  'ctrl-, c':       'chlorine:break-evaluation'
  'ctrl-, S':       'chlorine:source-for-var'
  'ctrl-, d':       'chlorine:doc-for-var'
  'ctrl-, x':       'chlorine:run-tests-in-ns'
  'ctrl-, t':       'chlorine:run-test-for-var'

How to work with ClojureScript

For now, it only works with Shadow-CLJS or Lumo.

With Lumo, you fire up lumo with lumo -n 3322 to start a socket REPL on port 3322 (or any other port), then connect Chlorine with "Connect ClojureScript Socket REPL".

With Shadow-CLJS, after watching (or after starting a server, or anything that starts a socket REPL) you connect with "Connect Clojure Socket REPL", then run the command "Connect Embedded ClojureScript REPL". Then you can run code on .cljs files too.

How to contribute?

As Chlorine is in active development, it was starting to become tedious to publish a newer version of repl-tooling for every experiment, so for now, the library is registered as a submodule. To contribute, you clone this repository and run:

./scripts/setup

To register the submodule. More info on Developing document.
