Refactored Core

Refactor the core namespace to contain the code that starts up our server and join up all the route handlers.

Edit the src/todo_list/core.clj file and update the namespace definition to include the new handlers namespace, including the whole namespace in core.

(ns todo-list.core
  (:require [compojure.core          :refer [routes]]
            [todo-list.handlers.play :refer [play-routes]]
            [todo-list.handlers.task :refer [task-routes]]
            [todo-list.handlers.base :refer [base-routes]]
            [ring.middleware.reload  :refer [wrap-reload]]
            [ring.adapter.jetty      :as    jetty]))

Change app from a defroutes to a def and use the route function to merge all the defroutes into one

(def app
  (routes #'play-routes #'base-routes #'task-routes))

The routes function takes the names of all the other defroutes and merges into one list of handlers.

app is now just a name we give to reference the handlers for all routes. We can continue to add more defroutes to app as our application grows, along with any middleware we wish to apply to our handlers.

core should be much smaller, containing only the route definition and the main app (plus the middleware around the app)

(ns todo-list.core
  (:require [compojure.core          :refer [routes]]
            [todo-list.handlers.play :refer [play-routes]]
            [todo-list.handlers.task :refer [task-routes]]
            [todo-list.handlers.base :refer [base-routes]]
            [ring.middleware.reload  :refer [wrap-reload]]
            [ring.adapter.jetty      :as    jetty]))

(def app
  (routes #'play-routes #'base-routes #'task-routes))

(defn -main
  "A very simple web server using Ring & Jetty"
  [port-number]
  (jetty/run-jetty app
    {:port (Integer. port-number)}))

(defn -dev-main
  "A very simple web server using Ring & Jetty that reloads code changes via the development profile of Leiningen"
  [port-number]
  (jetty/run-jetty (wrap-reload #'app)
                   {:port (Integer. port-number)}))
