this react native thing is difficult to set up

Ok, so I’m trying to wrap my head around how aliases and builds work within shadow-cljs. When I run the command shadow-cljs watch [buildname] I spin up a repl and everything, but it also seems to load the dependencies I specify. It seems like it’s no different that if I ran shadow-cljs -A:test:dev watch test.

{...
 :aliases {:dev  {:extra-deps {thheller/shadow-cljs          {:mvn/version "2.14.5"}
                               refactor-nrepl/refactor-nrepl {:mvn/version "2.5.1"}}}
           :test {:extra-paths ["test"]}}}

{:deps {:aliases [:dev :test]}...

 :builds {:script ...
          :test   ...}}

that is a deps.edn question. not really a shadow-cljs question.

I mean you can just use deps.edn directly if you want

or configure those aliases. the alias are always loaded yes, it is not supported to specify aliases per build

but if you can clj -A:test -M -m shadow.cljs.devtools.cli compile test or whatever if you must have an alias per build

but .. having extra unused dependencies on your classpath does NOT affect your build in any way

so just always load all of them

Ok, I thought they would affect build size.

they don't. only namespaces you actually :require are compiled. so having test on the classpath always doesn't matter since you never require your tests in your regular buidl anyways

Ok, good to know.

so really all this deps.edn alias tinkering isn't required for shadow. you can do it if you really want to but you don't have to

You really do have some good build tools.

The reloading process (e.g ^:dev/after-load) seems to happen such that my browser defaults (e.g css grid overlay div selected) always get reset. I would like them not to get reset. I'm trying to understand why they are. Currently my mental model is that the page is refreshing. Edit. It's not refreshing, i meant re-rendering, which yes, i'm telling it to do. I dont think i can get that gird selection to stay.
