Creating a Deploy build configuration

Create a build configuration for deployment, to remove the need to copy the .js file to the deploy location.

These instructions assume the /docs directory is used by GitHub pages for deploying the website.

Create a deploy build configuration file

Copy the dev.cljs.edn to deploy.cljs.edn.

Edit deploy.cljs.edn and add the ouptput-to: configuration option

^{:watch-dirs   ["test" "src"]
  :css-dirs     ["resources/public/css"]
  :auto-testing true}
{:main clojurebridge-landing-page.core
 :output-to "docs/cljs-out/dev-main.js"}

Hint::Adjust file and path if required

This configuration assumes GitHub pages has been configured to use the /docs directory in the master branch to serve the website.

Create a new alias

Edit the project.clj file.

Add a new :aliases line, the same as the fig:min line, except using deploy at the end.

  :aliases {"fig"        ["trampoline" "run" "-m" "figwheel.main"]
            "fig:build"  ["trampoline" "run" "-m" "figwheel.main" "-b" "dev" "-r"]
            "fig:min"    ["run" "-m" "figwheel.main" "-O" "advanced" "-bo" "dev"]
            "fig:deploy" ["run" "-m" "figwheel.main" "-O" "advanced" "-bo" "deploy"]
            "fig:test"   ["run" "-m" "figwheel.main" "-co" "test.cljs.edn" "-m" juxt-edge.test-runner]}

Deploying updates

lein fig:deploy will now deploy any changes to your ClojureScript app without the need to copy any files.

In a terminal window open in the root of your project, run the commands:

lein clean
lein fig:deploy

Then commit the new file and push to GitHub

git commit -a "Deploy version 4.2"
git push origin master

If you make any changes to the index.html or css/styles.css files, then still need to copy them into /docs directory manually, then commit those changes too.
