I'm writing some atom (the editor) package with ClojureScript. And i faced dependency load issue.
When compiled ClojureScript produces file like this (main.js):
goog.addDependency("base.js", ['goog'], []);
goog.addDependency("../cljs/core.js", ['cljs.core'], ...)
goog.addDependency("../clojure/browser/event.js", ...)
Obviously, ClojureScript heavily depends on Google Closure dependency management.
But, to be able to use Google Closure i need to include goog/base.js file.
The only way that i found is to add to goog/base.js:
module.exports = goog
and add to main.js:
require('./goog/base.js')
This is very bad approach, because these files are generated - so they can be overridden.
Also, release compilation will not include these lines.
The question is how can i use both these dependency systems?
Or is it possible to use ClojureScript w/o Google Closure?
Please advice, thanks!
If you set your ClojureScript :optimizations to something other than :none (e.g., :whitespace) then the resulting .js file will include the Google Closure code inlined and you won't have to reference it separately.
(Note that this means you might not be able to use a main function in your ClojureScript code, but you can just put a call to your main function somewhere at the toplevel.)
