Running figwheel with Emacs Inferior Clojure Interaction Mode

Assuming you already have clojure-mode, run M-x package-list-packages and install inf-clojure.

Edit your .emacs or init.el and add a function like the following:

(defun figwheel-repl ()
  (interactive)
  (run-clojure "lein figwheel"))

(add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook #'inf-clojure-minor-mode)

Restart Emacs!

Open your ClojureScript file and run M-x figwheel-repl. You'll get a new buffer with the REPL. Switch back to your file.

• C-c C-l will load the file.
• C-c Meta-n will switch your namespace.
• If you place your cursor at the end of a s-expression, C-x C-e will evaluate that expression.
• C-c C-v will show the docs. C-c C-s will show the source. C-c <return> will macroexpand.

Refer to inf-clojure for more documentation.

You are done!

Launching from a Clojure Process

These instructions are for advanced users and can stand to be clarified a bit. Please don't attempt this unless you have a bunch of experience with the stack.

If you are using the JAR in your current directory:

Create a script/repl.clj with the following contents:

(use 'figwheel-sidecar.repl-api)
(start-figwheel!)
(cljs-repl)

note: leiningen profile merging won't occur with start-figwheel!

Edit your .emacs or init.el and add a function like the following if you are using the JAR in your current directory:

(defun figwheel-repl ()
  (interactive)
  (run-clojure "lein trampoline run -m clojure.main script/repl.clj"))

Open your ClojureScript file and run M-x figwheel-repl. You'll get a new buffer with the REPL. Switch back to your file and run M-x inf-clojure-minor-mode. C-c C-l will load the file. C-c Meta-n will switch your namespace. If you place your cursor at the end of a s-expression, C-x C-e will evaluate that expression. C-c C-v will show the docs. C-c C-s will show the source. C-c <return> will macroexpand. Refer to inf-clojure for more documentation.
