NOTE: Due to popular demand I've created a bare-bones Leiningen template for Fulcro (as of September 2017). I mentioned on the defn podcast that I didn't have one, but I've since decided it is useful enough to maintain. So, you can now run lein new fulcro your-new-app (use the figwheel option if you don't want to use shadow-cljs) to get something smaller that still has support for development, production, devcards, and testing.

This is a full stack sample application with specs, dev cards, and client code. It contains a mock login/signup screen, top-level tab routing (once logged in), etc.

You must run the server (and use it through the server) for login to work. The server always approves login.

You can login with [email protected] or [email protected], the password is letmein.

It is set up to be deployable to Heroku (or anywhere) as a standalone jar.

Master: Develop:

The app supports a fake user database (see valid-users in src/main/fulcro_template/api/mutations.clj) with two users. HTML5 Routing is configured, and the routing tree and BIDI config are in html5_routing.cljs.

The server has been set up with a session store, and the login mutations show you how you can access and modify it (see mutations.clj). The server has also been configured to serve the same index page for all URI requests of HTML, so that the browser can decide what to show based on the URI in app logic. See server.clj for details of the augmented Ring pipeline.

The HTML5 routing is smart enough to know where you wanted to go. It remembers the URI that came in on load. If you're already logged in, it will start the UI in the place. If you have to login, it will redirect you to your desired page after login.

Add a figwheel config:

Add a server config:

Then run both from IntelliJ.

See the Makefile for useful command-line targets, which are useful for when working from a lower-level system editor.

The simplest approach is to start a REPL:

JVM_OPTS=-Ddev lein repl

You will need two REPLs: one for the server, and one for you dev builds of the client.

There is a pre-supplied function named start-figwheel that will start the cljs builds and figwheel hot code push.

(start-figwheel [:test :dev :cards])

IMPORTANT: When work in development mode, be sure to pass the JVM option -Ddev. This will ensure the HTML5 service sends the right page.

In the server REPL, start the server with:

(go)

To reload the server code:

(restart)

IF your compile fails, Recompile after failed compile:

(tools-ns/refresh)
(go)

Open a browser on:

http://localhost:3000

Open a browser on:

http://localhost:3449/cards.html

Open a browser on:

http://localhost:3449/fulcro-spec-client-tests.html

Now edit sample-spec.cljc and save. The tests will update automatically.

See the docs on http://github.com/fulcrologic/fulcro-spec for directions on using things like selectors!

The server tests can be run from a console, or even better: rendered live in a browser.

The test-refresh plugin will render the results, and refresh them on saves:

lein test-refresh

This runs the tests in a JVM, but uses a websocket to push the results to a web UI. This is much more powerful, but requires you start another server:

$ lein repl
user=> (start-server-tests)

Then access the test UI at:

http://localhost:8888/fulcro-spec-server-tests.html

Now edit sample-spec.cljc and save. The tests will update within milliseconds!

The project is set up to be able to run both the UI and Server tests from a standard *NIX command-line (untested with Windows, but works with OSX and Linux).

The UI tests use node, karma, and doo to accomplish tests.

The Makefile has targets for running the various CI tests modes. You must install Node and NPM. In OSX, Home Brew can make quick work of that.

There is a GNU Makefile in the project that can start various command line interactions. This file is commented so you can see what targets are valid.

Example: Run a REPL that is ready to run the Fulcro Server:

make server

Build the standalone Jar with:

lein uberjar

will build target/fulcro_template.jar.

The production prod.edn file (in src/config) grabs the web PORT from the environment (as required by Heroku). So, this jar can be run with:

export PORT=8080   # the web server port to use
java -Dconfig=config/prod.edn -jar fulcro_template.jar

The Procfile gives the correct information to heroku, so if you've configured the app (see Heroku docs) you should be able to deploy with git:

git push heroku master
