squint compile --stdout

[jruz]

Hi thanks a lot this is such a joy to use.

Could it be possible to add an option to print out the compilation output instead of writing the file?

I would like to integrate this as as vite/rollup plugin

Of course! Would you like to provide a PR? It's not so hard to add. Else I'll do it.

awesome thanks, will send you a PR tomorrow

I think i got confused and I should be able to accomplish the same by importing the compiler

import { compileString } from 'squint-cljs/lib/compiler.js'

I'm a bit confused if I should be using cherry for this, same import is available in both packages but I get a different output from cherry, squint worked right away. I'll look into the details of the difference tomorrow.

cherry is similar to squint, but has a different purpose, it's closer to the real CLJS in terms of data structures. If you just want to use squint, use squint, why would you use cherry?

We can discuss on Clojurians Slack if you're hanging out there, perhaps it's a quicker way to sort this out.

Thanks I'll close this since I solved my need with the compiler and I'll ask around in slack if I run into smth else :)

@jruz Cool. Is your work public? Perhaps we can add some docs on how to use the JS interface with rollup or otherwise.
