Readme — tick 0.4.29-alpha

tick

A Clojure(Script) library for dealing with time. Intended as a replacement for clj-time.

Based on Java 8 time (on the JVM) and js-joda (on JavaScript runtimes).

(require '[tick.alpha.api :as t])

;; Get the current time
(t/now)

See Henry Widd’s talk at Clojure/North 2019 for some background

Status

Alpha: Ready to use with the caveat that the API might still undergo minor changes.

Install

Get the latest from Clojars and add to your project.clj, build.boot or deps.edn.

Tick versions 0.4.24-alpha and up require minimum Clojurescript version of 1.10.741

There are some extra considerations when using tick from Clojurescript, see file docs/cljs.adoc in this repo.

Here is a one-liner to drop into a node repl with tick:

clj -Sdeps '{:deps {org.clojure/clojurescript {:mvn/version "1.10.741" } tick {:mvn/version "0.4.24-alpha"} }}' -m cljs.main  -re node  --repl

Development

Develop The Documentation Site

Build the Cljs

make dev-docs-cljs

Build the html

make docs/index.html

Serve the docs directory and navigate to it in a browser

Develop Tick

Jack in with cider or equivalent method in other IDEs, and start the cljs build with:

(figwheel-start!)

And when you get a REPL you can run all the JVM tests with

(test-clj) ---

Or outside of the REPL run:

make test-all

which will run clojure, clojurescript (node) and clojurescript (chrome) tests. JVM tests are currently running with Kaocha while JS tests are using figwheel-main and the cljs-test-runner.

As long as you have you have started your repl with these aliases "-A:dev:test-clj", you can also run backend clojure tests in the repl with something like

(require '[kaocha.repl :as kr])
(kr/run :clj)

npm dependencies

For running the ClojureScript tests you will need the following npm dependencies installed:

sudo npm install karma-cli -g
npm install karma --save-dev
npm install karma-chrome-launcher
npm install karma-cljs-test

Release

create a git tag

make install (this installs in ~/.m2 - check that things look ok)

make deploy - you need to have set up clojars credentials as per https://github.com/applied-science/deps-library

git push origin new-tag-name

Acknowledgements

Tick is based on the same original idea as Chime. The motivation is to be able to view timelines of remaining times while the schedule is running. Thanks to James Henderson for his work on Chime.

In particular, special credit to Eric Evans for discovering Allen’s interval algebra and pointing out its potential usefulness, demonstrating a working implementation of Allen’s ideas in his Clojure library.

Thanks also to my esteemed colleagues Patrik Kårlin for his redesign of the interval constructor function, and Henry Widd for porting to cljc.
