choose a template

[aleeusgr]

When choosing a template for your Clojure/ClojureScript app, consider the following criteria:

1. Project Type:

• Web application: Look for templates like lein-new, luminus, or chestnut that provide a basic web application structure.
• API-only: Choose a template like lein-new or api-template that focuses on API development.
• Desktop or mobile app: Select a template like cljs-template or electron-template that targets desktop or mobile platforms.

2. Framework and Libraries:

• Reagent or React: Choose a template like luminus or reagent-template that includes Reagent or React for UI components.
• Ring or Compojure: Select a template like lein-new or ring-template that uses Ring or Compojure for API routing.
• Databases: Consider templates like luminus or db-template that include database support (e.g., PostgreSQL).

3. Complexity and Features:

• Simple or complex app: Choose a template that matches your app's complexity. For example, lein-new is a simple template, while luminus provides more features.
• Authentication and authorization: Look for templates like luminus or auth-template that include authentication and authorization mechanisms.
• Internationalization and localization: Select a template like luminus or i18n-template that supports i18n and L10n.

4. ClojureScript Support:

• If you need ClojureScript support, choose a template like cljs-template or reagent-template that includes ClojureScript configuration.

5. Community and Maintenance:

• Popularity and community support: Opt for templates with active communities and regular updates, like luminus or lein-new.
• Maintenance and updates: Consider templates with a clear maintenance schedule and a history of updates.

6. Learning Curve:

• Familiarity with Clojure and ClojureScript: If you're new to Clojure, choose a template with a simpler structure, like lein-new.
• Complexity of the template: Select a template that matches your level of expertise and the complexity of your app.

7. Customizability:

• Flexibility and customization: Choose a template that allows for easy customization, like luminus or chestnut.

By considering these criteria, you can select a template that best fits your project's needs and helps you get started quickly.

Here is an example of a lein new command that creates a new Luminus project with functionality close to what is described:

lein new luminus myproject +postgres +cljs +reagent +auth +routes +db +test

Let me break down the options used:

• luminus: The template name, which creates a Luminus project.
• myproject: The project name, which will be used as the namespace and directory name.
• +postgres: Adds PostgreSQL support to the project.
• +cljs: Enables ClojureScript support for the project.
• +reagent: Includes Reagent, a popular ClojureScript library for building UI components.
• +auth: Adds authentication and authorization features to the project.
• +routes: Generates routes for the API and web application.
• +db: Includes database support, which will be PostgreSQL in this case.
• +test: Enables testing support for the project.

This command will create a new Luminus project with the specified features and functionality. You can customize the project further by modifying the project.clj file and adding or removing dependencies as needed.

Note that you can customize the template options to fit your specific needs. For example, if you don't need authentication, you can remove the +auth option. If you want to use a different database, you can replace +postgres with +mysql or another database option.

P.S. Пожалуйста, обрати внимание, что мы предлагаем реализовать тестовое задание без использования фреймворков (Luminus - это фреймворк :)
