Walkable comes with a Duct setup as its development environment which can be found in dev directory.

{% hint style="info" %} Duct is a highly modular framework for building server-side applications in Clojure using data-driven architecture.

A more detailed guide for Duct can be found at:

https://github.com/duct-framework/docs/blob/master/GUIDE.rst {% endhint %}

Leiningen profiles

Walkabe source code comes with three Leiningen profiles for three supported sql flavors: postgres, mysql and sqlite. You must specify one of them whenever you start a REPL server or run tests.

Development environment

To begin developing, start with a REPL.

{% mdtabs title="Postgres" %}

lein with-profile postgres repl

{% mdtab title="Mysql" %}

lein with-profile mysql repl

{% mdtab title="Sqlite" %}

lein with-profile sqlite repl

{% endmdtabs %}

Then load the development environment.

user=> (dev)
:loaded

Run go to initiate the system.

dev=> (go)
:duct.server.http.jetty/starting-server {:port 3000}
:initiated

By default this creates a web server at http://localhost:3000.

When you make changes to your source files, use reset to reload any modified files and reset the server.

dev=> (reset)
:reloading (...)
:resumed

Testing

Testing is fastest through the REPL, as you avoid environment startup time.

dev=> (test)
