Clojurians Log v2

Hey, I was wondering if there was a shorthand for creating fdefs , For example I have:

(s/fdef new-person
  :args (s/cat :name :person/name
               :age :person/age)
  :ret :app/person)
(defn new-person [name age]
  {:person/name name
   :person/age age})

(s/sig new-person [:person/name :person/age] :app/person)
(defn new-person [name age]
  {:person/name name
   :person/age age})

I think I’ve seen a few libraries that have macros combining defn and fn specs

here’s one https://github.com/danielcompton/defn-spec

Stay tuned for spec 2.... :)

Thanks, these sort of do what I want. But they replace defn which I don’t like. I couldn’t find anything so I ended up writing a quick macro:

(defmacro defsig
  [fname fargs fret]
  `(clojure.spec.alpha/fdef ~fname
     :args (clojure.spec.alpha/cat ~@(apply concat (map vector (map (comp keyword str) (range)) fargs)))
     :ret ~fret))

Looking forward to that!

Rich is working on the design for this right now and it’s starting to look pretty good

That would be such an amazing improvement for me. I’d honestly want to spec every function at my day job (I guess that’s the static typing mindset in my head talking), but it’s just too verbose at the moment

it’s also difficult to convince my colleagues 😄
