Optional typing in Clojure, as a library.

Usage Overview

tldr; see the minimal example project for Typed Clojure[Script] setup.

Typed Clojure is separated into modules. You'll want the full type checker at development time, and the runtime dependencies in production.

In Clojure CLI's deps.edn, this will look something like this:

{:deps {org.typedclojure/typed.clj.runtime {:mvn/version "1.1.1"}}
 :aliases {:dev {:extra-deps {org.typedclojure/typed.clj.checker {:mvn/version "1.1.1"}}}}}

You can then start a dev repl with clj -A:dev.

In Leiningen's project.clj, it will look something like this:

(defproject com.my-domain/a-project "1.0.0-SNAPSHOT"
  :dependencies [[org.typedclojure/typed.clj.runtime "1.1.1"]]
  :profiles {:dev {:dependencies [[org.typedclojure/typed.clj.checker "1.1.1"]]}})

Then, lein repl will automatically activate the :dev profile. Verify the type checker is not included in uberjars with lein with-profile uberjar deps :tree.

For ClojureScript support, use org.typedclojure/typed.cljs.runtime and org.typedclojure/typed.cljs.checker.

Example projects

• minimal demonstrates how to statically type check Clojure[Script] namespaces
• minimal-clj demonstrates how to statically type check (just) Clojure namespaces
• malli-type-providers demonstrates how to statically type check using malli schemas
• spec1-type-providers demonstrates how to statically type check using spec1 specs
• zero-deps demonstrates how to type check a library without introducing any runtime dependency on Typed Clojure (only dev-time).
• symbolic-guide shows how to reason about symbolic execution in Typed Clojure.
