Question 1

How do I install Dirac on Windows or Mac?

Accepted Answer

Install the CLI tool via npm or other package managers, then run 'dirac' to launch Chrome with Dirac enabled. Refer to the installation docs for OS-specific steps and troubleshooting.

Question 2

Does Dirac work with Figwheel or Shadow CLJS?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Dirac is designed to integrate with common ClojureScript build tools like Figwheel. Check the integration documentation for configuration details and example setups.

Question 3

Can I use Dirac for React Native ClojureScript projects?

Accepted Answer

Dirac is primarily optimized for web-based ClojureScript debugging. For React Native, support may be limited; you might need to rely on other tools or adapt the setup, as noted in community discussions.

Question 4

What's better for ClojureScript debugging: Dirac or standard Chrome DevTools?

Accepted Answer

Dirac is superior for ClojureScript-specific features like custom formatters and an integrated REPL, while standard DevTools lack these enhancements. Choose Dirac if you're deep into ClojureScript on Chrome.

Question 5

How to enable Parinfer in the Dirac REPL?

Accepted Answer

Parinfer is integrated by default in the Dirac REPL. Simply start typing ClojureScript code in the Console, and it will automatically assist with parentheses and indentation for structured editing.

Question 6

Is Dirac compatible with other Chrome extensions?

Accepted Answer

Dirac should generally work with other extensions, but since it modifies DevTools, there could be conflicts. It's advisable to test with your specific extensions and monitor for any issues.
