I've had the same question. What I've come up with is to introduce a new middleware in the the dev-system, which wraps the both the creation of the app handler and calling the handler with the request map. The prod-system would still refer directly to a single instance of the app handler.
Now in dev-mode, on every request, a new handler is both created and executed. There is a potential performance impact of re-creating the app ring handlers, but I haven't noticed any issues yet, and this is only for development mode, so I'm not too concerned about it. The improved repl experience is valuable to me. Using your code: (defn app [] (app-handler [home-routes user-routes base-routes] :middleware (load-middleware) :ring-defaults (mk-defaults false) :access-rules [] :formats [:json-kw :edn :transit-json])) (defn dev-system [] (component/system-map :web (new-web-server (env :http-port) (fn [] (fn [req] ((app) req))))) (defn prod-system [] (component/system-map :web (new-web-server (env :http-port) (app))) On Sunday, February 8, 2015 at 1:37:40 PM UTC-5, Sven Richter wrote: > > Hi, > > This is something that I am struggling for some time and I still don't > know how to solve it. > For dynamic reloading in web development there is this common pattern: > > (def app (app-handler > [home-routes user-routes base-routes] > :middleware (load-middleware) > :ring-defaults (mk-defaults false) > :access-rules [] > :formats [:json-kw :edn :transit-json])) > > (defn get-handler [] > (-> #'app > (wrap-file "resources") > (wrap-file-info))) > > > > This works nice, but does not give me components.
