Starting slacker server

To expose your clojure namespaces via slacker, you will need to start a slacker server to serve these namespaces. Slacker server can be started via slacker.server/start-slacker-server.

A port and a collection of functions are required for start-slacker-server. The service will be exposed on the port and bound to 0.0.0.0 by default.

For function collection, there are three types:

• Exposing all public functions under a namespace, for instance, (the-ns 'slacker.example.api).
• A map of namespace and functions, {"slacker.example.api2" {"echo" (fn [data] data)}}.
• A vector of any function collections of above two.

You may also provide a thread pool for running these functions, we will discuss these options in Server threadpool and queue
