fulcro app template

A Clojure tools.deps template for quickly creating a fulcro application.

This is a work in progress and reflects one style of app layout.

Feel free to remove or change any parts of the generated code.

It was based on the fulcro3 template: https://github.com/fulcrologic/fulcro-template but differs in backend tech and will continue to diverge as features are added to this template.

Use it

Add a new alias to your user deps.edn file. For instructions see:

https://github.com/seancorfield/dot-clojure

Using Clojure CLI version 1.10.1.727 or later

# Frontend only app
clj -X:new :template dv.fulcro-template :name my-username/my-project-name

# Pass one or more options
clj -X:new :template dv.fulcro-template :name my-username/my-project-name :args '["+devcards" "+workspaces" "+test" "+node-server" "+server"]'

# Or include them all:
clj -X:new :template dv.fulcro-template my-username/my-project-name :args '["+all"]'

# output to another directory name, and overwrite if it already exists:
clj -X:new :template dv.fulcro-template my-username/my-project-name :output '"my-preferred-project-name"' :force true

Using Clojure CLI versions before 1.10.1.727:

# Frontend only app
clj -A:new dv.fulcro-template my-username/my-project-name

# Pass one or more options
clj -A:new dv.fulcro-template my-username/my-project-name +devcards +workspaces +test +node-server +server

# Or include them all:
clj -A:new dv.fulcro-template my-username/my-project-name +all

# output to another directory name:
clj -A:new dv.fulcro-template my-username/my-project-name -o my-preferred-project-name

If you're working on the template itself, you can generate a project from the filesystem:

clj -X:new :template '"/home/my-user/dv.fulcro-template::dv.fulcro-template"' :name my-group/my-project

Options

+devcards
+workspaces
+test
+node-server
+server

You can include all the above options by just passing:

+all

With no options you get a client-only fulcro app with a dev webserver handled by shadow-cljs.

The node-server is used for server-side rendering, it is not fully baked. It has code to render the root fulcro component to a string, but some more work is needed to ask the clojure server for the start data and inject that into the resulting page and pick it up on the client.

The +server option produces a pedestal+jetty server with reitit for routing and muuntaja to handle content negotiation.

The template uses helpers from https://github.com/dvingo/my-clj-utils to setup a pathom parser and a crux standalone rocksdb node.

The server has simple password auth using cryptohash-clj to hash passwords with argon2.

Building the template repo itself

Build a deployable jar of this template:

clojure -X:jar

Install it locally:

clojure -M:install

Deploy it to Clojars -- needs CLOJARS_USERNAME and CLOJARS_PASSWORD environment variables:

clojure -M:deploy

Steps to deploy:

Increment pom.xml version commit all changes, push to remote.

make

run deploy
