ventas-lein-template

Leiningen template for creating ventas-based projects.

It simplifies running ventas with plugins and themes of your choice.

Getting started

You need to have Datomic and Elasticsearch running for this to work. Also, you'll probably need to change the configuration to suit your local environment. You'll find it under resources/config.edn.

$ lein new ventas my-project
Generating a project called my-project based on the 'ventas' template.
$ cd my-project
$ lein repl
> (init)
:reloading (my-project.example-plugin my-project.core user)

                            :cljs-port 3001,
                            :server {:port 3450, :host "localhost"},
                            :debug true,
                            :nrepl {:port 4001, :host "localhost"},
                            :auth-secret "CHANGEME",
                            :elasticsearch {:index "ventas", :port 9200, :host "127.0.0.1"},
                            :database {:url "datomic:dev://localhost:4334/ventas"},
                            :strict-classloading false}

Now you can visit localhost:3450to see the frontend.

Purpose / how to use

This template is good for:

• Developing plugins or themes for a fixed version of ventas, without having to compile the whole source code. Kind of like a "playground" but safer than cloning the whole ventas repository.
• Customizing ventas to run stores. You can include themes and plugins by including them in project.clj and then requiring their namespaces in ventas.core. You can use the ventas API to add endpoints, entity types, frontend components, or whatever.
