## What it is
A Leiningen plugin that compiles ClojureScript and hot-loads code changes into the browser as you code, enabling live interactive programming. It includes a static file server, live CSS/JS reloading, a heads-up display, and descriptive compiler errors.

## Use cases
- hot reload clojurescript in the browser while coding
- set up a quick clojurescript dev environment with a static file server
- live reload css and javascript during frontend development
- interactive clojurescript repl-driven development
- live code clojurescript in node.js
- see compiler errors with code context while building clojurescript

## When to choose
- you maintain an existing Leiningen-based ClojureScript project already using lein-figwheel
- you want live code reloading with a built-in static file server in a Clojure workflow

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new ClojureScript project - Figwheel Main is the recommended rewrite
- you are not using Leiningen or ClojureScript

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance

- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools, programming-languages
