Working on a multiple leiningen project

Question

I'm building a web apps that uses http-kit and clojurescript. At some point, I want to separate the front and back each into a lein project on its own. The scenario is:

1. For the front, if on development mode, uses a lein ring server to serve directory and the app will display a mock data.

2. The back will serve any resources/public in the front lein project.

I'm thinking of doing a nested lein project, but not sure how to handle it. Any suggestion or pointer is very much appreciated.

Answer 1

The way your question is posted it is not very clear " why two projects?". It seems that you may be confusing different projects with different profiles , eg .. classpaths?

In order to work with multiple lein projects at once, similar to the way you would work with master pom => child poms with maven, there is a lein-sub .

But in your case, it seems that what you want is different lein profiles , classpaths. Take a look at lein profiles documentation, it should solve "in dev do this, in test do this, in production do this" behavior you are after.
