* Description
This layer adds support for [[https://clojure.org/][Clojure]] language using [[https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider][CIDER]].

* Features
- REPL via [[https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider][CIDER]]
- Code formatting via [[https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider][CIDER]] using [[https://github.com/weavejester/cljfmt][Cljfmt]]
- Refactoring via [[https://github.com/clojure-emacs/clj-refactor.el][clj-refactor]]
- Aligning of code forms via [[https://github.com/clojure-emacs/clojure-mode][clojure-mode]]

* Install
** Layer
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =clojure= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.

** Pretty Symbols
Pretty symbols for anonymous functions, set literals and partial, like =(λ [a]
(+ a 5))=, =ƒ(+ % 5)=, =∈{2 4 6}= and =Ƥ=.

To enable this feature, add the following snippet to the
=dotspacemacs/user-config= section of your =~/.spacemacs= file:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (setq clojure-enable-fancify-symbols t)
#+END_SRC

Or set this variable when loading the configuration layer:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
  '((clojure :variables clojure-enable-fancify-symbols t)))
#+END_SRC

** CIDER and clj-refactor
Note that recent versions of CIDER automatically inject the required
dependencies into your boot or leiningen configuration when you connect to the
REPL. Thus, the configuration instructions below only apply to CIDER 0.10 and
older. Most users should be able to just run ~SPC m s i~ to connect to the CIDER
REPL and skip the rest of this section.

*** Quick Start with boot
- Install =boot= (see https://github.com/boot-clj/boot#user-content-install)
- Create a file =~/.boot/profile.boot= with the following content:

#+BEGIN_SRC clojure
(require 'boot.repl)

(swap! boot.repl/*default-dependencies* conj
       '[refactor-nrepl "1.2.0-SNAPSHOT"]
       '[cider/cider-nrepl "0.10.0-SNAPSHOT"])

(swap! boot.repl/*default-middleware* conj
       'refactor-nrepl.middleware/wrap-refactor)
#+END_SRC

- Run ~SPC m s i~ in any of the clojure source files to connect to the CIDER
  REPL. Note that a build.boot file must be present in your working directory
  for Cider to recognize the presence of boot.

*** Quick Start with lein
- Install =lein= version 2.5.2 or newer (see https://leiningen.org/#install)
- Create a file =~/.lein/profiles.clj= with the following content:

#+BEGIN_SRC clojure
  {:repl {:plugins [[cider/cider-nrepl "0.10.0-SNAPSHOT"]
                    [refactor-nrepl "2.0.0-SNAPSHOT"]]
          :dependencies [[alembic "0.3.2"]
                         [org.clojure/tools.nrepl "0.2.12"]]}}
#+END_SRC

- After creating your project with ~lein new app <projectname>~ or
  importing an existing project, run ~SPC m s i~ in any of the clojure
  source files to connect to the CIDER REPL.

*** More details
More info regarding installation of nREPL middleware can be found here:
- CIDER: [[https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider#installation][cider_install]]
- clj-refactor: [[https://github.com/clojure-emacs/refactor-nrepl][refactor-nrepl]]

* Key Bindings
** Working with clojure files (barfage, slurpage & more)
Spacemacs comes with a special ~lisp-state~ for working with lisp code that
supports slurpage, barfage and more tools you'll likely want when working with
lisp.

As this state works the same for all files, the documentation is in global
[[https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/blob/master/doc/DOCUMENTATION.org#lisp-key-bindings][DOCUMENTATION.org]]. In general, use ~SPC k~ to interact with the lisp-state.

* Development Notes
** Indentation
With a [[https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/blob/master/doc/indent_spec.md][new]] functionality of Cider to read the custom indentation rules from the
var's metadata, it is better for consistency reasons to not add the custom
indentation rules to Spacemacs, but to add them to the metadata of those
specific vars.
