An implementation of 7 GUIs in Clojure + HumbleUI.
Built using lilactown/humble-starter.

To run each GUI, pass the ./script/run.sh script the number you want to run.
# run the "Counter" GUI
./script/run.sh 1
# run the "Timer" GUI
./script/run.sh 4To start a REPL (including a minimal nREPL server), you can run ./scripts/nrepl.sh.
For Editor tooling, see below section.
To run each GUI, evaluate the namespace (e.g. town.lilac.humble.app.gui-1)
through the REPL. To see changes, evaluate it again.
Create a REPL for HumbleUI apps as you would for any other application:
- Create a Local REPL configuration, and accept all the defaults
- Run that newly created REPL
TL;DR: Customize the jack in command, delete the
:cider/nreplalias at the end of the command and replace it with:dev:cider
If you use an editor like Emacs or Calva which integrates using CIDER, you can customize the jack-in command to work with your HumbleUI app.
NOTE: The default jack-in command will not work, since we need to start the HumbleUI app on a different thread than the nREPL server. By default, the nREPL server will start and then you would evaluate commands via this connection, but this will not work when starting the HumbleUI app.
To ensure that you are loading the correct version of nREPL and CIDER, we start
by running the jack-in command but customizing it. In Emacs, this is
C-u M-x cider-jack-in. An example of what the default command looks like:
/opt/homebrew/bin/clojure -Sdeps '{:deps {nrepl/nrepl {:mvn/version "1.0.0"} cider/cider-nrepl {:mvn/version "0.28.6"}} :aliases {:cider/nrepl {:main-opts ["-m" "nrepl.cmdline" "--middleware" "[cider.nrepl/cider-middleware]"]}}}' -M:cider/nrepl
For our purposes, the user ns has a -main function which handles all of the
app and nREPL server initialization. The only thing we need to replace the call to
CIDER's main with our own and pass in the middlewares to it.
Below, we show the command after we delete the use of the :cider/nrepl alias
and replace it with the :dev:cider alias configured in our deps.edn, which
calls our custom -main function wiht the CIDER middlewares
/opt/homebrew/bin/clojure -Sdeps '{:deps {nrepl/nrepl {:mvn/version "1.0.0"} cider/cider-nrepl {:mvn/version "0.28.6"}} :aliases {:cider/nrepl {:main-opts ["-m" "nrepl.cmdline" "--middleware" "[cider.nrepl/cider-middleware]"]}}}' -M:dev:cider
A lot of this code was copied and then modified from the HumbleUI codebase itself, as well as humble-dec and humble-animations. Thanks to @tonsky for developing HumbleUI and releasing so many cool examples, and @oakmac for showing me some cool stuff too!
