Web dependencies for Clojure

What's this

This is a clojure library that groups together common dependencies for a web stack.

Why is this needed

Reasons for having the web stack as a library:

• Putting common web dependencies in a package makes it easier to upgrade projects.
• Having the web stack as a library rather than a framework gives projects more flexibility in terms of structure. This approach is inspired by various talks on clean architecture -- a web stack is simply a dependency and need not dictate the overall organisation of the project.

What's in here

The main items are:

• Immutant web server (via Luminus)
• Ring request handler
• Reitit router
• Hiccup rendering
• Reagent
• Integrant component management

Building

This library is available, pre-built from clojars. To check dependencies, build and install on a local repo, use leiningen:

lein deps
lein do clean, install

Usage

To use this library:

• include it as a dependency, along with clojure and clojurescript
• httpd is provided as an integrant plugin.

See the anketeur project for actual usage.
