Running

Create the database:

createdb sample

To start a web server for the application, run:

lein ring server

Now visit http://localhost:3000/ to see the app running.

Run as container

The repository contains the Dockerfile. You can build and run the app with Docker. App will be running on port 5000 by default. Database is not included. So make sure to pass a DATABASE_URL to the container.

Running on Heroku

Clone the repository and cd into it. Then execute next commands:

heroku create
heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev
git push heroku main
heroku open

The last command should open the application in your browser.

Database

Application reads the DATABASE_URL environment variable for the database connection. If none provided, it will use the default value from src/sample/db.clj.

Migrations

Migrations are run automatically when you start the app or tests. If you need to manually run migrations, you can use next command:

lein migratus migrate

Tests

To run tests you need to setup a test database

# create a separate database for tests
createdb sample-test

# run tests
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://localhost:5432/sample-test lein test
