yada

yada is a web library for Clojure. It is a sibling library to bidi - whereas bidi is based on routes as data, yada is based on resources as data.

yada takes data declarations and produces a sophisticated Ring handler.

It has the following features

• Comprehensive HTTP coverage
• Parameter coercion, automatic Swagger support
• Async foundation based on manifold
• Protocol extensibility

The user-manual for the latest beta (1.1.x) release is available at https://yada.juxt.pro and offline (see below).

The user-manual is also available as an e-book or PDF, at Leanpub.

Installation

Add the following dependency to your project.clj file

[yada "1.1.0-20160219.181822-27"]

Dependencies

yada requires the following :-

• a Java JDK/JRE installation, version 8 or above
• Clojure 1.7.0
• Aleph 0.4.1-beta3 or above (provided via a dependency)

Running documentation and examples offline

Although yada is a library, if you clone this repo you can run the documentation and examples from the REPL.

cd yada
lein repl

Once the REPL starts, type in and run the following :-

user> (dev)
dev> (go)

Now browse to http://localhost:8090.
