biotz / hydrogen.cljs.duct-template Goto Github PK

We are using a few namespaces in the new projects and expect them to be used in all new projects as well. So it makes sense to make them part of the initial template.

In almost all our projects we use lint/eastwood and lein-cljfmt plugins. They are part of [:profiles :project/dev] configuration in project.clj.
Hydrogen should include them in result projects as well. However, as for today, Duct doesn't know how to do it. Thus this issue has three steps:\

• Raise a ticket in Duct's github with a proposal[1] for this feature.
• Perhaps implement it ourselves and make a PR.
• Use this feature in Hydrogen.

[1] - Our recent contributions to Duct made it understand :dev-dependencies key. It makes it include a dependencies vector into result project.clj's [:profiles :project/dev :dependencies] path. For this reasons it seems only logical to develop an analogical feature - :dev-plugins.

In all our projects we use loading spinner. We need to extract common components into Hydrogen.

When this template was created it was supposed to inject our bread and butter cljs code into new applications. However now it seems to be doing a bit more:

1. It changes Duct's default file structure / namespace organization (see this presentation).
2. It introduces plugins we find useful in development.
3. It modifies :repl-config in project.clj.

We need to decide which way we want to go with this. We have some options:

1. Divide and conquer - we define specific functionalities and have one template (or one profile, as a template can have many) do just that.
   To tell the truth, we actually have something like that developed already - this template has core-profile that's supposed to be used always and also session-profile that can be used to enrich core by landing page, authentication-related dependencies etc. However, we found out that using many profiles is not that easy; :vars of profiles are mutually exclusive. Thus we need extra calculations to manage some of them (I'm looking at you :cascading-routes).
2. Just rename this template to something more abstract (hydrogen.duct-template) and document functionalities carefully.

If pushed commit is not -SNAPSHOT version, then deploy, and change the version to an incremented number with -SNAPSHOT edition.

Resulting projects save session tokens in their appdbs only after successful login. If user is already logged in and goes straight to an access-restricted route, :token will not get saved unless he/she signs out and in again.
