I attempted to do something like this:
(ns parent)
(defmulti my-method (fn [x] (:method x))
(ns child1)
(defmethod my-method :zzz
...)
(ns child2)
(defmethod my-method :aaa
...)
However the problem is the children need to use the parent namespace in
order to have the method definition and the code that uses all of this
needs to use all the namespaces too. This creates a circular reference and
compilation fails.
I can solve this by doing this:
(ns super-parent
(:use parent
child1
child2))
The children can still do (:use parent) and then I can "use super-parent"
in my other code but it seems silly to have to create this super-parent.
1) Is it a bad idea to try to put the defmulti and defmethods into separate
namespaces?
2) Is there another way to do this which would allow separate namespaces
without requiring super-parent?
The whole reason I'm trying to spilt things up is to make testing easier.
Thanks,
Cymen
