## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using leiningen, modify `project.clj` in the following ways. When puzzling over the various possible leiningen configurations, it's often helpful to look at a sample [project.clj](https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/blob/stable/sample.project.clj).
|
||||
|
||||
- Add re-frame-trace as a dev dependency by placing `[day8.re-frame/trace "0.1.0"]` within `:profiles :dev :dependencies`. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```cljs
|
||||
:profiles
|
||||
{:dev
|
||||
{:dependencies [[some-other-package "0.0.0"]
|
||||
[day8.re-frame/trace "0.1.0"]] }}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Locate the `:compiler` map under `:dev` and add:
|
||||
|
||||
- `:closure-defines {"re_frame.trace.trace_enabled_QMARK_" true}`
|
||||
- `:preloads [day8.re-frame.trace.preload]`
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```cljs
|
||||
{:builds
|
||||
[{:id "dev"
|
||||
:source-paths ["src" "dev"]
|
||||
:compiler {...
|
||||
:closure-defines {"re_frame.trace.trace_enabled_QMARK_" true}
|
||||
:preloads [day8.re-frame.trace.preload]}}]}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
- Start up your application.
|
||||
|
||||
- Once it is loaded, focus the document window and press `ctrl-h` to slide open the trace panel and enable tracing.
|
||||
|
||||
- When the panel is closed, tracing is disabled.
|
||||
|
||||
## How does it work?
|
||||
|
||||
re-frame has instrumentation to collect traces throughout various important points in the lifecycle of a re-frame app. re-frame-trace is a consumer of these traces, and provides visualisations of the traces. These traces have a well-defined structure, and will eventually be standardised, allowing other developers to create their own tooling to work against the traces. Currently, re-frame's tracing and re-frame-trace are in alpha and are subject to change at any time.
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting started
|
||||
|
||||
Compile your app with `:closure-defines: "re_frame.trace.trace_enabled_QMARK_" true` and `:preloads [day8.re-frame.trace.preload]`.
|
||||
|
||||
So when using leiningen, add the following to `project.clj`:
|
||||
|
||||
- `[day8.re-frame/trace "0.1.0"]` in `:profiles :dev :dependencies`
|
||||
|
||||
```cljs
|
||||
{:profiles
|
||||
{:dev
|
||||
{:dependencies [day8.re-frame/trace "0.1.0"] }}
|
||||
```
|
||||
- `:closure-defines: "re_frame.trace.trace_enabled_QMARK_" true` and `:preloads [day8.re-frame.trace.preload]` in `:compiler`
|
||||
|
||||
```cljs
|
||||
{:builds
|
||||
[{:id "dev"
|
||||
:source-paths ["src" "dev"]
|
||||
:compiler {...
|
||||
:closure-defines {"re_frame.trace.trace_enabled_QMARK_" true}
|
||||
:preloads [day8.re-frame.trace.preload]}}]}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
By default, re-frame tracing is compiled out, so it won't impose a performance cost in production. The trade-off here is that you need to explicitly enable it in development.
|
||||
|
||||
The [preloads](https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/wiki/Compiler-Options#preloads) option (`:preloads [day8.re-frame.trace.preload]`) has to be set in order to automatically monkeypatch Reagent to add appropriate lifecycle hooks. Yes this is gross, and yes we will try and make a PR to reagent to add proper hooks, once we know exactly what we need. The preload namespace also injects a div containing the devtools panel into the DOM.
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can start up your application. Once it is loaded, press Ctrl+H to slide open the trace panel and enable tracing. When the panel is closed, tracing is disabled.

||||

||||
