SlipStreamUI

This is a sub-repo of SlipStream. Go to the main repo for general information about the project.

Enlive

To generate the HTML UI, SlipStream uses Cristophe Grand's templating framework "Enlive". You might want to check out following documentation:

Static pages

For development and testing purposes there is the possibility to generate static examples of the different pages of the SlipStream application, i.e. without the need to couple it with a SlipStream Server and real data.

To launch the static pages first clone this project and cd into its folder:

git clone [email protected]:slipstream/SlipStreamUI.git
cd SlipStreamUI

In this folder you will find a basic Makefile with the only purpose of gathering a useful set of terminal commands to launch common tasks. To launch the static pages we need a clojure REPL, which can be started with make repl. Then enter (reload-headless-app) and open http://localhost:8082/, both actions suggested in the prompt. You should see something like the following output:

$ make repl
(cd clj; lein repl)

nREPL server started on port 59380 on host 127.0.0.1 - nrepl://127.0.0.1:59380
REPL-y 0.3.5, nREPL 0.2.6
Clojure 1.7.0
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 1.8.0_45-b14

SlipStream: (reload-headless-app) to start the headless test server.

The headless test server has started successfully on port 8082.
Go to following URL for a list of existent test pages:

  http://localhost:8082/

If code changes (in clojure or HTML) are not taken into account, just reload the headless app.
#object[org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server 0x54ccb9a7 "org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server@54ccb9a7"]
user=>

Opening the URL mentioned above will show a list of the used HTML templates and the available static pages. Clicking them will open the corresponding page in a new tab.
