I have very little experience using boot. The main benefit of Figwheel is that it allows you to retain the state while hot loading code. I find this makes a really big difference when working on complex UIs. I can get the application in a particular state, and then tweak the UI in that context.
There's a https://github.com/boot-clj/boot-figreload https://github.com/boot-clj/boot-figreload plugin that adapts Figwheel for boot, but I haven't used it myself.
- likeclockwork 9y agoAh, I was just wondering if you had experience there. boot-reload[0] replicates everything figwheel does in terms of hot reloading the cljs. I started using boot because I wanted better tooling for cljs, which I think it provides. I wanted to ask if you had any experience with it because I know you have a lot of experience with cljs and was wondering if you had any insight into potential hidden costs. I agree that hot reloading is a huge upgrade over the old workflow, it saves so much time. 0: https://github.com/adzerk-oss/boot-reload https://github.com/adzerk-oss/boot-reload
- yogthos 9y agoAh I see, and yeah I haven't really used boot since I already got comfortable with lein by the time it came out. It sounds like they both work pretty well nowadays though.
