Hoplon

Hoplon is a set of tools and libraries for making web applications.

Hoplon provides a compiler for web application frontend development, and includes the following libraries as dependencies to complete the stack:

• Javelin: a spreadsheet-like dataflow library for managing client state. Hoplon tightly integrates with Javelin to reactively bind DOM elements to the underlying Javelin cell graph.
• Castra: a full-featured RPC library for Clojure and ClojureScript, providing the serverside environment. (optional)

Quickstart

Install Boot and then generate a starter project with:

boot -d boot/new new -t hoplon -n hoplon-starter-project

Example

src/pages/index.cljs:

(page "index.html")

(ns ^{:hoplon/page "index.html"} pages.index
  (:require [hoplon.core  :as h :refer [div ul li html head title body h1 span p button text]]
            [javelin.core :as j :refer [cell cell=]]
            [hoplon.jquery]))

(defn my-list [& items]
  (div
    :class "my-list"
    (apply ul (map #(li (div :class "my-list-item" %)) items))))

(def clicks (cell 0))

(html
  (head
    (title "example page"))
  (body
    (h1 "Hello, Hoplon")

    (my-list
      (span "first thing")
      (span "second thing"))

    (p (text "You've clicked ~{clicks} times, so far."))
    (button :click #(swap! clicks inc) "click me")))

Browser Support

Hoplon has been thoroughly tested on desktop and mobile devices against the following browsers:

Note that the object element is not implemented for IE 8, and that older browsers that predate HTML 5 elements such as Audio and Video will not render them. Additionally, boot development tasks such as boot-reload and boot-cljs-repl, which inject scripts into the browser to function, do not support IE 8 (which errors when output is written to the console without the developer tools open). Testing against these browsers is best done with simple or advanced optimizations turned on.
