Clojuredart live coding

[dupuchba]

Live coding during the Apropos podcast on 10/11/2022 with @cgrand and the Apropos team.

To run the app

1. Follow the first 2 points of https://github.com/Tensegritics/ClojureDart/blob/main/doc/flutter-quick-start.md
   On macos you'll need XCode

2. At the root of the project

clj -M:cljd init

4. (Option 1): automatic hotreload
   If you target a macOs native app

clj -M:cljd flutter -d macos

If you have XCode installed and want to run the app in a Simulator

open -a Simulator
clj -M:cljd flutter 

5. (Option 2): use the watcher and launch in an other terminal flutter

clj -M:cljd watcher
# in a new terminal
flutter run 

Some remarks

• If hot-relead does not catch your changes you can "hot-restart" by pressing "R+Enter"
• You can list available devices using the flutter devices list
• You can target all listed devices including hardware devices with the -d device-id option at the end of clj -M:cljd flutter -d device-id or flutter run -d ...
• UI/UX is lame, I am not a designer ^^
• Publish the app on stores means creating a Google PlayStore account as well as an Apple Developper Account, it comes with overhead cost of around ~$100 + some migraine validating all certificates.
• Creating the project at the root might not have been the best idea, I guess I was stressed out during the live

On a side note, if you really want to make this app a reality, I would be more than happy to help you.
