Introduction

Dirac project maintains a set of patches rolling on top of official Chrome DevTools. That means you don't lose any functionality, you just sprinkle cljs enhancements on top. Additionally we provide a command-line tool which allows you to launch Chrome with Dirac swapped in place of normal DevTools.

• enables custom formatters by default (for cljs-devtools)
  • custom formatters are displayed inline on Source Panel (during debugging)
• better display of cljs function names
• better display of cljs property names:
  • macro-generated names are renamed to friendly names using sub-indexes
  • properties are grouped, most important properties go first
• REPL integrated into DevTools Console
  • eval cljs code in the context of currently selected stack frame (when paused on a breakpoint)
  • cljs code completion suggestions (like completions in Javascript console)
  • Parinfer goodness
• initialized blackboxing patterns of cljs core libraries for better stack-trace experience
