Sorry for late reply @bill.h.tucker_slack
this was explained in the book.
If you've used newest luminus template then you should've gotten file named dev-config.edn
where you can put
{:dev true
:port 3000
;; when :nrepl-port is set the application starts the nREPL server on load
:nrepl-port 7000
; set your dev database connection URL here
:database-url "<postgresql://localhost/<>?user=<>&password=<>>"
}
