Reading config programatically

Q

What's the recommended way to programatically read clj-kondo confifg from JVM clojure? I'd assume it's a composition of maps rather than a single slurping.

(I have various code that currently slurps I think - good chance to revisit my assumptions)

There is the resolve-config function for this:

clj-kondo/src/clj_kondo/core.clj

Line 219 in 504077d

(defn resolve-config

Good thinking, I'll attach a draft PR against refactor-nrepl with said prototype during the week.

Done! clojure-emacs/refactor-nrepl#361

The effect is that refactor-nrepl would abstain from cleaning up unused namespaces when kondo config indicates so.

[borkdude]

Hi @vemv - I'm not sure what the relation of :unresolved-namespace and cleaning unused namespaces is. Could you clarify this using an example? In clj-kondo :unresolved-namespace :exclude is used to suppress warnings about missing requires, e.g.:

(clojure.string/join ":" [1 2 3])

without:

(require '[clojure.string])

[vemv]

whoops, surely I picked the wrong piece of config
