Dependencies

clj, shadow-cljs, node and

• Clojure CLI tools
• babashka
• nvm.

Developing with Clerk

To start a server for local Clerk development, run

bb clerk-watch

This will start the Clerk server at http://localhost:7777 with a file watcher that updates the page each time any file in the notebooks directory changes.

To manually start the Clerk webserver, start a REPL by running

clj

Then start the server:

(start-with-shadow!)

To show a file, pass it to clerk/show!:

(clerk/show! "notebooks/a_file.clj")

These commands work because dev/user.clj requires nextjournal.clerk under a clerk alias, and defines a start! function.
