cljs-boilerplate's Issues

breakout cljs/initializer into separate project

The initializer code, based on the "Garber-Irish implementation" of page init scripts, should be its own project so it can stay general and be useful to other people not using cljs-boilerplate.

Something wrong with -htmlclean

While running the default ant build, I get these strange FNFE:

.../> lein deps
...
.../build> ant
...
-htmlclean:
     [echo] Run htmlcompressor on the HTML
     [echo]  - maintaining whitespace
     [echo]  - removing html comments
     [echo]  - compressing inline style/script tag contents

Moreover, when I open the index.html file, it displays as a blank page, although it's got some html source code in it.

Allow access to settings from ClojureScript

There are probably many instances in which you'd like to share settings between server side and client side code. Right now settings.clj and settings/custom.clj are only used by server side clojure. All settings should probably not be shared: you don't want to ship your database settings to the client side.

One way to do this might be to use the Closure compiler's @define / --define semantics.

Upgrade to clojure-1.3

In dev mode, we'd like to compile and serve clojurescript inline, that means the rest stack needs to be moved to 1.3.

Wrong Content-Type for 404

When using a tomcat adapter, the ring.util.route/not-found handler appears to send the 404.html file without the right MIME or Content-Type, so it just shows up as plain text. Write a new route or figure out how one is supposed to use not-found with files.

eg: http://cljs-boilerplate.elasticbeanstalk.com/notfound

Remove H5BP build dependency on tools.cljsc

Right now build/build.xml uses tools.cljsc to build the advanced optimized clojurescript. tools.cljsc points to ../clojurescript/bin/cljsc by default, ie a side build of clojurescript. It should point to a script inside the repository that uses lib/ for its jar dependencies on clojurescript.

One way to do this is to make a lein plugin for compiling clojurescript. Another would be to simply copy the bin/cljsc script into the repository, and modify it to use the lib/ jar.

Use maven/lein dependencies for H5BP jars

As @scottjad points out, keeping the jars in the source repo is inefficient. Ideally we should use config/project.properties to set the path of the jars to lib/dev or even modify build.xml if needed. This will also require uploading or finding the maven dependencies for the jars in build/tools.

Use lein to run the build script

Right now, running ant in build/ is the way to compile and compact the resources needed for the app. Ideally, this would be done with a lein command. I want to avoid rewriting the build script as a lein plugin so that we can keep pace with the H5BP project. Is there a way to call ant build steps from lein?

H5BP build scripts don't update css/jss assets in .soy files

To support production mode, the .soy templates need to be updated to refer to the compressed assets, which typically are named by the sha1 of their contents at build time. The relevant build sections are around the replaceregexp elements.
