Clojurians Log v2

hi all, is there a way to tell shadow-cljs to just download deps?

shadow-cljs classpath will do that

ok, thanks @thheller

Hi, I just started my first Shadow project... yeah... and straight after adding my first NPM module I am getting this error: Illegal variable reference before declaration: a any idea what I can do to get rid of this?

Hey everyone! Perhaps a dumb question but what is the preferred route to running a full stack (clj + cljs) clojure project? I currently have three directories: client, backend, common which refer to cljs, clj and ‘cljc’ respectively. My client uses shadow-cljs and after doing some reading I noticed that there are two ways to run shadow.  1. Via npm 2. Via lein I’m confused on what is preferred here. I assume with running the client project via npm I would still get access to the repl right?  I also noticed that in lein generated projects the top level directory has a project.clj file and both the client and backend run off of lein. Ive noticed the same thing with luminus too and I am confused what is the preferred route.  It seems like running shadow via npm and the backend clj project via lein would be right but what i mentioned above makes me hesitant that it is the "right way"

let me know if i should be asking this in #beginners !

@thomas hard to say without more info. what npm package is causing this?

I run my backend via lein and all frontend related stuff via shadow-cljs/npm

that works well for me

others prefer to run everything via lein

up to personal preference I guess

I also have only one src/main that houses all .clj/s/c files but namespaced accordingly

so src/main/acme/project/frontend.cljs etc

word thanks a ton @thheller! my structure is

src/project_name/{client,backend,common}

btw I never let my editor launch my REPLs

I only connect to them remotely

dunno how calva handles things by default

interesting! i am still fairly new to clojure so i only know of calva or cursive

do you have other recs?

The precise error I'm getting is this:

Closure compilation failed with 1 errors
--- node_modules/ibmcloud-appid-js/dist/appid.umd.min.js:44
Illegal variable reference before declaration: a

I only use cursive

not a clue. this is an error from the closure compiler. either it is actually invalid code in the library or something the compiler didn't understand properly.

the code does look somewhat odd so hard to say

jsrsasign: a = a,

looks weird
