REPL!
Connecting to REPL to IntelliJ
I had a number of problems connecting to REPL, the solution is as follows:
At the top of IntelliJ IDEA click on the Add Configuration...
option:
![](/status-im/status-react/media/commit/00adc3448a5aa78d7db825f9ca1eff426f9480db/doc/images/IDE_SETUP/3_REPL_1.png)
This will load the following menu:
![](/status-im/status-react/media/commit/00adc3448a5aa78d7db825f9ca1eff426f9480db/doc/images/IDE_SETUP/4_REPL_2.png)
Click on the +
icon in the top left corner of the menu.
Select Clojure REPL > Remote
![](/status-im/status-react/media/commit/00adc3448a5aa78d7db825f9ca1eff426f9480db/doc/images/IDE_SETUP/5_REPL_3.png)
Which will load the following menu
![](/status-im/status-react/media/commit/00adc3448a5aa78d7db825f9ca1eff426f9480db/doc/images/IDE_SETUP/6_REPL_4.png)
Enter the below options:
- Name = status-react
- Display Name = status-react
- Connection type = nREPL
- Connection details
- Host = 127.0.0.1
- Port = 7888
![](/status-im/status-react/media/commit/00adc3448a5aa78d7db825f9ca1eff426f9480db/doc/images/IDE_SETUP/7_REPL_5.png)
Press OK
Now the below option will be visible. Press the green run button
![](/status-im/status-react/media/commit/00adc3448a5aa78d7db825f9ca1eff426f9480db/doc/images/IDE_SETUP/8_REPL_6.png)
You should now see an dialog with the following message:
Connecting to remote nREPL server...
Clojure 1.10.1
To confirm you have a working connection with REPL enter the following command in the input box below the output:
(prn 1)
Which should output
(prn 1)
1
=> nil
See below:
![](/status-im/status-react/media/commit/00adc3448a5aa78d7db825f9ca1eff426f9480db/doc/images/IDE_SETUP/9_REPL_7.png)
Connecting REPL and IntelliJ to status-react
The important next step is telling REPL the context in which to interact with the code.
Do the following:
Ensure you have 3 terminals running the following
make run-clojure
make run-metro
make run-ios
/make run-android
See the STARTING GUIDE for details
Next go back to the REPL input and enter the following commands:
(shadow/watch :mobile)
(shadow/repl :mobile)
See Below
![](/status-im/status-react/media/commit/00adc3448a5aa78d7db825f9ca1eff426f9480db/doc/images/IDE_SETUP/10_REPL_8.png)
Which should switch the clj file type target to cljs as shown above
Finally you are ready to test REPL.
Create a sample function to evaluate something simple like (prn "I'm working")
, move your cursor to one of the outer parentheses. Right or control
click and select the REPL
option. From there select Sync files in REPL
and then Send '...' to REPL'
.
![](/status-im/status-react/media/commit/00adc3448a5aa78d7db825f9ca1eff426f9480db/doc/images/IDE_SETUP/11_REPL_9.png)
Alternatively you can use the shortcut commands ⇧⌘M
to sync your files and ⇧⌘P
to send the statement to REPL. You may also need to switch the REPL namespace to match the current file, which can be done manually from the dialogue box or using the ⇧⌘N
shortcut key.
Following the above should give you the below result:
![](/status-im/status-react/media/commit/00adc3448a5aa78d7db825f9ca1eff426f9480db/doc/images/IDE_SETUP/12_REPL_10.png)
🎉 Tada! Working! 🎉
