Honestly, the fact that people put up with this in Js ecosystem amazes me to no end. I've been working with ClojureScript on the front-end for the past year, and it's just night and day.
There's a single build tool (http://leiningen.org/ http://leiningen.org/), and it manages dependencies, tests, builds, etc. Things just work.
Setting up a new project is as simple as:
lein new reagent-frontend myapp
I can go and start developing it by running
lein figwheel
After it starts I can open the browser at localhost:3449 and any changes I make in the source will be immediately reflected. Once I want to package for release I just do:
lein clean
lein release
That's it, I now have minified and pruned Js file that's ready for production.
- cheez 10y agoCLJS is just a language.
- yogthos 10y agoIt's really much more than that. There's an ecosystem around ClojureScript that's completely separate from Js, and I find the CLJS ecosystem to be far better in many respects.
- danabramov 10y agoThis is pretty much what we’re doing with Create React App. npm i -g create-react-app create-react-app my-app cd my-app npm start # start devserver npm run build # build for production
- yogthos 10y agoSure, but how do you go about doing things like managing dependencies, doing hot code loading, running tests, and so on?
