CLI Usage

Add a portal alias in ~/.clojure/deps.edn

:portal/cli
{:main-opts ["-m" "portal.main"]
 :extra-deps
 {djblue/portal {:mvn/version "LATEST"}
  ;; optional yaml support
  clj-commons/clj-yaml {:mvn/version "0.7.0"}}}

Then do the following depending on your data format:

cat data | clojure -M:portal/cli [edn|json|transit|yaml]
# or with babashka for faster startup
cat data | bb -cp `clojure -Spath -M:portal/cli` -m portal.main [edn|json|transit|yaml]

I keep the following bash aliases handy for easier CLI use:

alias portal='bb -cp `clojure -Spath -M:portal/cli` -m portal.main'
alias edn='portal edn'
alias json='portal json'
alias transit='portal transit'
alias yaml='portal yaml'

and often use the Copy as cURL feature in the chrome network tab to do the following:

curl ... | transit

There is also the ability to invoke a standalone http server to listen and display data from remote client

   bb -cp `clojure -Spath -Sdeps '{:deps {djblue/portal {:mvn/version "LATEST"}}}'` \
      -e '(require (quote [portal.api])) (portal.api/open {:port 53755}) @(promise)'
