Hashp

Hashp is a better prn for debugging Clojure code. Inspired by projects like Spyscope, Hashp (ab)uses data readers to make it easier to get useful debugging data sent to STDOUT.

Usage

Once installed, you can add #p in front of any form you wish to print:

(ns example.core)

(defn mean [xs]
  (/ (double #p (reduce + xs)) #p (count xs)))

It's faster to type than (prn ...), returns the original result, and produces more useful output by printing the original form, function and line number:

user=> (mean [1 4 5 2])
#p[example.core/mean:4] (reduce + xs) => 12
#p[example.core/mean:4] (count xs) => 4
3.0

Install

Leiningen

Add the following to ~/.lein/profiles.clj:

{:user
 {:dependencies [[hashp "0.2.0"]]
  :injections [(require 'hashp.core)]}}

Boot

Add the following to ~/.boot/profile.boot:

(set-env! :dependencies #(conj % '[hashp "0.2.0"]))

(require 'hashp.core)
(boot.core/load-data-readers!)

Shadow-CLJS

Add the following to shadow-cljs.edn:

{:dependencies [hashp "0.2.0"]
 :builds {:app {:devtools {:preloads [hashp.core]}}}}

Or alternatively via ~/.shadow-cljs/config.edn and --config-merge:

~/.shadow-cljs/config.edn:

{:dependencies [[hashp "0.2.0"]]}

Run:

shadow-cljs watch app --config-merge '{:devtools {:preloads [hashp.core]}}'
