This is an example Clojure web application written using the Duct framework. This code is referenced by my blog on Building a Clojure web application using Duct.

Developing

Setup

When you first clone this repository, cd into the cloned directory and run:

lein duct setup

This will create files for local configuration, and prep your system for the project.

Note: You will need to create an empty db/ directory under the project directory.

mkdir db

Environment

To begin developing, start with a REPL.

lein repl

Then load the development environment.

user=> (dev)
:loaded

Run go to prep and initiate the system.

dev=> (go)
:duct.server.http.jetty/starting-server {:port 3000}
:initiated

By default this creates a web server at http://localhost:3000.

When you make changes to your source files, use reset to reload any modified files and reset the server.

dev=> (reset)
:reloading (...)
:resumed

Testing

Testing is fastest through the REPL, as you avoid environment startup time.

dev=> (test)
...

But you can also run tests through Leiningen.

lein test
