 Flash just can't be so wide spread in the java world. No it can't.

 It does ??? Oh please, please !!.. ok shame on me :-/ !

Yes, this is by no means unique to funkyweb. In fact, under the hood it uses
the flash middleware provided by ring which is available to all ring based
framework.

It's pretty standard in web frameworks. I see it in nearly every MVC

The flash scope is quite popular in web frameworks like Seam Framework
or Grails (which I believe inherited it from Spring MVC). It then
popped up in other web frameworks in Java EE land.

I'd say it's mainly a matter of preference, funkyweb gives you a higher
level of abstraction while compojure gives you more flexibility. Also keep
in mind that compojure is more mature and is used in production apps while
funkyweb isn't quite ready for production yet. As for the ecosystem as a
whole James Reeves' answer sums it up well.

It actually started out as a learning project and it is the first thing I've
done with Clojure other than trying out snippets from books in the repl. But
even though it started that way it's based on an idea I've had for a while
and I intend to use it in real applications.

The flash is a special thing that's available to the next request in the
current session and is then automatically deleted so it's well suited for
displaying user notifications. For example, say you have a create action
that saves something to a database and then does a redirect to a show action
then that action can access the the flash message you set in the create
action and display it, but after a page refresh or page change the message
dissapears. I hope this makes any sense :)

The Clojure web ecosystem currently looks like this:

At the bottom, you have Ring. Ring provides a standard interface to
talk to web servers, and a set of libraries for handling things like
sessions and file uploads.

On top of Ring sit web frameworks like Compojure, Moustache, Conjure
or funkyweb. These provide a nice high-level interface that is suited
for defining the routes and controller logic of a web application.

Once you've written your controllers, you need a way of creating some
HTML to display. Hiccup, Fleet and Enlive are examples of libraries
designed to dynamically generate HTML pages.

Finally, there are libraries that don't fit into any of the above
categories, such as Sandbar or Compojure-Rest.

This has been raised quite a few times recently. Is this a sign of some
critical mass starting to form?

As far as I understand, and I'm very far from an expert on this as I'm only
2 (solid) months into it, Ring is the common layer which many of the routing
solutions operate on top of. Ring abstracts a lot of the grungy "turn a
HTTPServletRequest/Response into a map" work that we'd have to do otherwise.

That's because at the moment there is no easy to do that without digging

Maybe, though they are part of different sections which I don't want to

url helpers section?

request-get let's you grab specific keys out of the request, which you could
then destructure in a let provided that the key points to a data structure,
but it does not return the entire request itself. If you need access to the
complete request map it's available through
funkyweb.helpers.request/*request*

Very nice. I really love the docs. Covers how to use almost everything with
plenty of example code and short descriptions.

I like variadic args, type hints.

Doesn't cover how to test a handler (from code) and see response.

Maybe move query-string request docs up to where query-string params
introduced.

I like integer and vector returns.

I'd like cookies-set to take :expires :never so user doesn't have to write a
far future date out in that special format.

Wondering about lack of compojure style request destructuring in route. Does
(request-get) return the request that you then destructure in a let in your
action?

ANN: funkyweb 0.1.0 - The clojure webframework with route inference

2010-10-06 Thread Patrik Hedman
I'm pleased to announce the 0.1.0 release of funkyweb, my ring based clojure
webframework.

It provides the following main abstractions:

Controller: Controllers work somewhat like namespaces in that they define
the base of the route so any actions defined under a controller will have
routes generated that starts with the controller name.

Action: Actions looks like functions in that they take a name an argument
list and a body and they generates routes and url helper functions based on
their name and arguments.

More information can be found in the readme included with the source code at
http://github.com/pmh/funkyweb

I would love to hear what you think about it.
