Chestnut is a Leiningen template that scaffolds full-stack Clojure + ClojureScript web applications. It provides preconfigured live reloading, a browser-connected REPL, dev/prod/test builds, a Compojure backend, and a choice of React-based frontend wrappers.
Use cases
- start a new clojure/clojurescript web app
- scaffold a fullstack clojure project with live reloading
- set up a browser connected REPL for clojurescript
- generate a reagent or re-frame app template
- deploy a clojure web app to heroku as an uberjar
- get a working clojurescript dev environment quickly
When to choose
- starting a new full-stack Clojure/ClojureScript project from scratch
- you want a REPL-driven workflow with live reloading out of the box
- you want minimal, unopinionated boilerplate you can restructure freely
- you plan to deploy to Heroku or package as an uberjar
When to avoid
- you need a maintained template with recent updates (last release 2022)
- you prefer modern tooling like shadow-cljs, deps.edn, or Figwheel-main
- you are building a backend-only Clojure service without a frontend
- you need a heavily opinionated, batteries-included framework
