Project status

As mentioned at https://zestdocs.github.io/ I've now decided to stop maintaining Zest. Hence please do not expect updates or support. If anyone is insterested in continuing, feel free to contact me at the email from the commit messages. I'd be willing to transfer the zestdocs.org domain and Mac App Store app ownership in case someone shows more interest than me.

It was certainly fun to implement this project, but sadly I don't have enough motivation to continue at this point. I feel obliged to let the users know about this decision, hence the notice.

zest

Early Proof of Concept prototype. It's my first ClojureScript project ever, etc. Not really meant for release, published mostly in case someone wants to collaborate.

Requirements

• JDK 1.7+
• Leiningen 2.5.3
• Recent node.js
• Lucene++ (available at https://github.com/luceneplusplus/LucenePlusPlus)
• libarchive
• NSIS

On Mac/Linux, installing node.js using Node Version Manager is recommended.

This project uses Electron v0.35.2. Please check Electron's GitHub page for the latest version. The version is specified in

Gruntfile.js

Grunt Config

Setup

On Mac/Linux:

scripts/setup.sh

On Windows:

scripts\setup.bat

This will install the node dependencies for the project, along with grunt and bower and will also run

grunt setup

Development mode

Start the figwheel server:

lein figwheel

If you are on OSX/Linux and have

rlwrap

rlwrap lein figwheel

This will give better readline support.

More about figwheel here.

In another terminal window, launch the electron app:

grunt launch

You can edit the

src/cljs/zest/core.cljs

Using nREPL with figwheel

• Start the repl using

  lein repl

  .

user> (use 'figwheel-sidecar.repl-api)
nil
user> (def figwheel-config
        {:figwheel-options {:css-dirs ["app/css"]}
         :build-ids ["dev"]
         :all-builds
           [{:id "dev"
             :figwheel {:on-jsload "zest.core/on-figwheel-reload"}
             :source-paths ["src/cljs" "env/dev/cljs"]
             :compiler {:main "zest.dev"
                        :asset-path "js/p/out"
                        :output-to "app/js/p/app.js"
                        :output-dir "app/js/p/out" }}]})

Dependencies

Node dependencies are in

package.json

bower.json

project.clj

Icons

Please replace the icons provided with your application's icons. The development icons are from node-appdmg project.

Files to replace:

• app/img/logo.icns
• app/img/logo.ico

Creating a build for release

To create a Windows build from a non-Windows platform, please install

wine

On Windows before doing a production build, please edit the

scripts/build-windows-exe.nsi

On Mac OSX, please edit the variables for the plist in

release-mac

Gruntfile.js

Using

electron-packager

If NSIS is available on the path, a further setup executable will be created for Windows. Further, if the release command is run from a OS X machine, a DMG file will be created.

To create the release directories:

grunt release

This will create the directories in the

builds

Note: you will need to be on OSX to create a DMG file and on Windows to create the setup .exe file.

grunt
