shadow-cljs is a build tool and compiler for ClojureScript that focuses on simplicity, good defaults, and seamless npm integration. It supports multiple compilation targets (browser, Node.js, npm modules, React Native, Chrome extensions) with fast builds, caching, live reload, and a built-in REPL.

Use cases

• compile clojurescript to javascript
• set up a clojurescript project with npm dependencies
• hot reload clojurescript during development
• run a clojurescript REPL in the browser or node
• build a chrome extension in clojurescript
• code split a clojurescript app into modules
• compile clojurescript for react native

When to choose

• you want a batteries-included ClojureScript compiler with sensible defaults
• your project mixes npm JavaScript packages with ClojureScript code
• you need live reload and REPL-driven development
• you target multiple outputs like browser, node scripts, and npm modules

When to avoid

• you use plain Clojure targeting the JVM rather than ClojureScript
• you prefer the standard ClojureScript compiler with your own custom build pipeline
• your project has no JavaScript/Node.js toolchain involvement
