Description

$3

nbb-ideamesh provides easy CLJS scripting on
Node.js for Ideamesh. Since ideamesh is primarily
written with ClojureScript, this scripting
environment has capabilities that are not possible in any other environment. For
example, see here for a script that queries any ideamesh
graph.

$3

nbb-ideamesh is a custom version of nbb that
bundles support for datascript, datascript-transit and a couple other cljs
libraries that are useful to ideamesh. A good amount of the datascript API is
available as seen by its
tests.
Since nbb only loads features/libraries when they are required, users can write
datascript based CLIs without concern of loading the other libraries.

Usage

Install nbb-ideamesh from npm:

npm install @ideamesh/nbb-ideamesh -g

Omit -g for a local install.

All the usage examples from https://github.com/babashka/nbb#usage apply to
nbb-ideamesh e.g.

``clojure
$ nbb-ideamesh -e '(+ 1 2 3)'
6
`

Dependency Management

nbb-ideamesh can use libraries from both NPM and ClojureScript. For NPM
libraries, use package.json like you would in a Node.js project. For
ClojureScript libraries, create a nbb.edn file and install
babashka. The two main keys
a nbb.edn file supports are :deps and :paths. See babashka
docs for more about the format of
this file and those keys. See nbb's
docs for more info about how
nbb's dependencies generally work.

$3

Ideamesh's graph parser is a ClojureScript library with npm dependencies. To use
it as a dependency requires a nbb.edn for the ClojureScript code and a
package.json for the npm dependencies. For a quickstart with these files, copy
them from the fly.io example. Note that Ideamesh code is fetched
via git with nbb.edn so a specific commit and git repository can be
specified.

* For more examples see the examples directory.

CLIs

Starting with version 1.2.168, nbb-ideamesh supports publishing node CLIs with
a nbb.edn. This means that it's possible to write a script that uses ideamesh's
graph-parser
and share it with others so they can install it on their $PATH.

Community CLIs with a nbb.edn:

* ideamesh-graph-ast - CLI to print graph's ast data
* ideamesh-graph-validator - CLI to run validations on the current graph
* ideamesh-rdf-export - CLI to export graph as RDF
* https://github.com/cldwalker/ideamesh-clis - Collection of CLIs to run on graphs
* nbb-ideamesh-test-runner - CLI that runs
cljs.test tests for a nbb compatible project
* ideamesh-publish-spa - CLI that publishes a graph as a
single page app

To install or build a CLI locally, install
babashka and
clojure.

$3

From any script directory that has a nbb.edn, install CLIs on $PATH with
yarn global add $PWD or npm i -g. If using yarn and ~/.yarn/bin is not
on $PATH, add it to your shell's rc file e.g. export
PATH="$HOME/.yarn/bin:$PATH".

$3

To convert a nbb-ideamesh cljs script into a CLI that others can install and use:

* Create a wrapper .mjs file that invokes your nbb-ideamesh cljs script.
* Copy the graph_ast.mjs example and change the cljs file inside it.
* Add a bin entry to package.json that maps your CLI name to the cljs file.

For a tutorial on doing the above, read nbb's publish
doc.

Versioning

nbb-ideamesh follows the same versioning as nbb. In other words, an 0.4.0 for
nbb-ideamesh provides nbb 0.4.0 with the additional libraries.

Contributing

Example contributions are welcome. For feature contributions, please discuss
them first as this is a low level library that will be relied on by multiple
CLIs.

To QA that your branch works as expected on a dependent repository e.g.
ideamesh/graph-parser:

* bb release in this repo to build a local release.
* yarn add /path/to/nbb-ideamesh in a dependent's repo.
* Run yarn nbb-ideamesh FILE.cljs to run a given file. The graph-parser can confirm all it's namespaces load nbb-ideamesh with bb test:load-all-namespaces-with-nbb.

Steps to publish a new npm package:

1. Update CHANGELOG.md if anything specific to nbb-ideamesh has been updated.
2. Update nbb with bb update-nbb on https://github.com/babashka/nbb-features and confirm CI passes.
* This is done to confirm that datascript and datascript-transit tests pass.
3. Update nbb with bb update-nbb on this repo and confirm CI passes.
* This is done to run the test suite passes which includes cljs-time tests.
4. Run bb publish X.Y.Z` where X.Y.Z is the version to publish. Push to github to publish.
