Single Page App demo in Clojure, Ring, Compojure and Reagent/Inertia.js

Example to demonstrate the use of Inertia-Clojure + Inertia.js.

I forked the usermanager-example repository, a back-end web application and a few basic modifications are enough to transform it to a Single Page Application.

You can check the commit diff of what it took to change the app to SPA (for the back-end): commit/9e4bfb86d610d7467ef506981da68ec597bd31f3

For convenience, the repository already contains the bundled front-end resources/public/assets/js/app.js, so it can be tried quickly. For those who want to play with the client side, just go to the front directory and run npm i && npx shadow-cljs watch app.

All Reagent components are located in this file.

Usage

Clone the repo, cd into it, then follow below to Run the Application or Run the application in REPL

Run the Application

$ clj -M -m usermanager.main

It should create a SQLite database (usermanager_db) and populate two tables (department and addressbook) and start a Jetty instance on port 8080.

If that port is in use, start it on a different port. For example, port 8100:

$ clj -M -m usermanager.main 8100

Run the Application in REPL

Start REPL

$ clj

Once REPL starts, start the server as an example on port 8888:

user=> (require 'usermanager.main)                             ; load the code
user=> (in-ns 'usermanager.main)                               ; move to the namesapce
usermanager.main=> (def system (new-system 8888))              ; specify port
usermanager.main=> (alter-var-root #'system component/start)   ; start the server
