Make the Figwheel REPL work in vim-fireplace
I just have created a pull request with Vim-Fireplace, that allows passing down an expression to :Piggieback. This allows using the Figwheel REPL without much hassle.
First follow the instructions to create a Figwheel project. E.g. lein new
figwheel example-project
. Check the generated project.clj
file and
remove the comment on the line, that sets the nREPL port (:nrepl-port
7888
, pick any port number you like).
To make Vim-Fireplace pick up the nREPL port create an .nrepl-port
file
containing the port number. E.g. echo 7888 > .nrepl-port
. Otherwise
connect from the Vim command line with :Connect nrepl://localhost:7888
(or
follow the dialog with just :Connect
).
In Vim then open any ClojureScript file (e.g. the generated
src/example_project/core.cljs
) and then enter at the Vim command prompt:
Now saving ClojureScript or CSS files will automatically (and statefully) reload in the browser. And all the regular things in Vim-Fireplace like evaluating expressions or requesting the docs work too.
For repeatability add this alias in your .vimrc
(or in an after
script
for Clojure or Vim-Fireplace):
