Hi
I have a question about best practice for development clojure/clojurescript
libraries.
Usually you can see following in project.clj in some library:
:dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.5.1"]
[org.clojure/clojurescript "0.0-2197"]]
Why not to put clojure and clojurescript deps under :dev profile? All
clojure and clojurescript projects explicitly specify versions of clojure
ans clojurescript in their project.clj so I find it reduntant and
potentially conflicting to inherit them from library. So why put it library
project.clj in the first place?
So I would suggest to use :dev profile for this:
:profiles {:dev {:dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.5.1"]
[org.clojure/clojurescript "0.0-2197"]]}}}
Using dev profile means that you have clojure and clojurescript for
development but when you release library - the library doesn't depend on
them and users get just code without "infrastructure" deps. I see following
pros with this approach:
- No potential conflicts between library and project deps
- Reduces confusion like "ah, library depends on clojure 1.6.0, that
means it doesn't work with 1.5.1".
I can't think of cons of this approach.
I'd be happy to hear other people opinions on that question.
Thanks,
Nikita
