I want to use my project with calcit-editor

Hello, I have some questions, and I didn't know where to ask.

I always wanted an editor which is not based on a text editor. I want to import my already existing Clojurescript project, is this doable?

Sorry, bad news is I migrated to Calcit and newer versions of calcit editor is no longer targeting ClojureScript.

Since this project is open-sourced, you may still use the project. There are several difficulties if you want to import existed Clojure code:

• this editor does not support macros or some syntax(find more at https://github.com/Cirru/sepal.clj)

• you have to convert Clojure to Cirru EDN by yourself now,
  snapshot file of this editor is like https://github.com/mvc-works/calcit-workflow/blob/master/calcit.cirru , which you can generate with https://github.com/Cirru/cirru-edn if you have a solution for turning Clojure code into data(syntax tree probably).
  also check

  calcit-editor/src/app/util.cljs

  Lines 30 to 44 in 78f7078

  	(defn cirru->tree [xs author timestamp]
  	(if (vector? xs)
  	(merge
  	schema/expr
  	{:at timestamp,
  	:by author,
  	:data (loop [result {}, ys xs, next-id bisection/mid-id]
  	(if (empty? ys)
  	result
  	(let [y (first ys)]
  	(recur
  	(assoc result next-id (cirru->tree y author timestamp))
  	(rest ys)
  	(bisection/bisect next-id bisection/max-id)))))})
  	(merge schema/leaf {:at timestamp, :by author, :text xs})))

thanks for being interested in Cirru. you can leave comment here or send me tweet if you need more information related to Cirru and Calcit.

No problem, at least now I know that this is possible. I'll try to write my own version with rewrite-clj hopefully. In the latest calc-editor do you have the ability to move a function to another namespace? My vision is really close to yours, thank you for your work :)

Anyway, I hope this editor will be very popular, it feels like future.

(sending a tweet is 15 eur/month unfortunately)

to move a function, you will need "Rename" button at the bottom toolbar:

change the path to a new namespace(if existed), then the function is moved.

it's also useful when you want to just rename current function.

Thank you for the inspiration!
