Caribou: custom templates shadow _admin templates

Hi all, I'm just toying around with Caribou. I successfully created the models of my toy app, and now I started defining routes, pages, and templates. I started with this: --8<---cut here---start->8--- (def routes [["/":home [["login" :l

Re: Caribou: custom templates shadow _admin templates

The your own resources subdirectory is merged over the admin one, the structure visible here: caribou admin templates And yes, anything which has the same directory structure in your project is merged over the admin templ

Re: Caribou: custom templates shadow _admin templates

Update: I have created a namespaced-templates branch of caribou-admin, and the fix actually looks like it will be a shallow change (if moderately tedious given our lack of relative partial paths in templates which gives me another idea...). On Friday, November 15, 2013 6:36:30 AM UTC-8, Justin

Thank you everyone for your input! @James Hm, I think I understand what you mean. Interesing idea, I will think some more about it. @Sacha Ah, yes, of course. I don't know why I didn't think of it. Probably because I had I similar idea when I first started out but discarded it for some forgo

Re: Caribou: custom templates shadow _admin templates

Yes, I've made significant progress in moving the templates, but a few of the field editing partials are not accounted for yet. Right now most of the admin works in the new branch, but a few of the field editors have some errors introduced. You are welcome to check out the namespaced-templates

Re: Caribou: custom templates shadow _admin templates

And yes, you could still customize by overriding the templates in their new path (which all being under _admin would not reasonably conflict with an app that intends to use the admin). On Friday, November 15, 2013 10:20:25 AM UTC-8, Justin Smith wrote: > > Yes, I've made significant progress in

What does Clojure get from Java 8?

I had read that the Clojure team was prepping the build to work on the new JDK8 and it got me to thinking - what does Clojure get from Java 8? Will it be using some of the new features or does the compiler just need to be ready for changes in the JDK so compilation passes? Clojure already has m

Re: maintainability, DSLs, declarative APIs, etc.

To me macros & DSLs are just an instance/extension of the DRY principle and not that much different to using functions (albeit with more syntactic freedom, e.g. by supplying a body expression to be wrapped or transformed into something more complex). Of course there's the potential loss of control

Re: maintainability, DSLs, declarative APIs, etc.

I've worked extensively in Java, Ruby, and Clojure, so I have plenty of experience with having and not having meta-programming and macros. In my opinion meta-programming and macros are not black art, they are simply part of the language. If someone chooses to do something that isn't easy to underst

Re: What does Clojure get from Java 8?

There are only two changes I am aware of for JDK8 preparation so far, and they are simply to allow Clojure to compile without warnings [1] and pass all of the unit tests without failure when using JDK8 [2]. These are minor changes. [1] http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1264 [2] http://dev.cl

Re: maintainability, DSLs, declarative APIs, etc.

The first rule of macro club is "Don't write macros." Macros are powerful, but they should be considered the last avenue of attack. Often macros are a slim wrapper around an API made out of functions, and there just to provide some syntax sugar. Libraries that use macros more extensively, like co

Hi Kris, I really like your approach, but I've also been feeling the burn a bit with having to store each SQL query in its own file (especially since my data exploration frequently leaves me cataloging hundreds of them). Take a look at the approach used in sql-phrasebook: https://github.co

Re: maintainability, DSLs, declarative APIs, etc.

One more point that no one has emphasized: Lisps allow code to write code. Sometimes the way to provide an abstraction or generalization of a pattern is by writing a code-writer. Macros provide a convenient way of using that capability. (On a project years ago, for every Java class of kind X
