Clojurescript + react native (Android)

1 Clojurescript + react native (Android)

Dev mobile apps with linux written mainly in clojurescript.

1.1 Setup with shadow-cljs (dec 6 2019)

1.1.1 create a react-native project

react-native init <ProjectName>
cd <ProjectName>

1.1.2 delete the file App.js

This may change in the future. For now we use index.js

1.1.3 replace index.js with the following content

import "./build/index.js"

1.1.4 create the shadow-cljs.edn file with following content

Change your dependecies as you require.

{:source-paths
 ["src/main"
  "src/test"]

 :dependencies
 [[org.clojure/core.async "0.4.474"]
  [cljs-http "0.1.46"]
  [re-frame "0.11.0-rc3"]
  [reagent "0.9.0-rc3"
   :exclusions [cljsjs/react
                cljsjs/react-dom
                cljsjs/react-dom-server
                cljsjs/create-react-class]]]

 :builds
 {:app
  {:target :react-native
   :init-fn <project-name>.core/init
   :output-dir "build" 
   :devtools {:autoload true}}}}

not to sure if all the exclusions are needed

1.1.5 write some code in src/main/project-name.core.cljs init

Like…

(defn init []
      (dispatch-sync [:initialize-db])
      (.registerComponent app-registry "geocoder" #(r/reactify-component app-root)))

1.1.6 For development

shadow-cljs watch app

react-native start

react-native run-android

1.1.7 Build apk

shadow-cljs release app

cd android
./gradlew build
