Question 1

How to add a testing framework to a Mies project?

Accepted Answer

Mies doesn't include testing by default. You'll need to manually add dependencies like cljs.test to your project.clj and set up test runners, which requires extra configuration compared to more feature-rich templates.

Question 2

Mies vs Figwheel for ClojureScript development?

Accepted Answer

Mies is a minimal template focusing on simplicity and control, while Figwheel offers more out-of-the-box features like live reloading and integrated servers. Choose Mies for lightweight starts, Figwheel for enhanced development workflows.

Question 3

Can I use Mies with React or other JavaScript libraries?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Mies provides a clean ClojureScript setup, so you can add React or any library via dependencies in project.clj. However, you'll need to handle the integration and build configuration yourself, as it doesn't include pre-built bindings.

Question 4

How to deploy a Mies application to production?

Accepted Answer

Use the provided release script to compile an optimized build, then deploy the output files to a web server. Since Mies is minimal, you might need to set up additional steps for asset management or server-side rendering if required.

Question 5

Is Mies still maintained and updated?

Accepted Answer

The project hasn't seen updates since 2016, so it's likely not actively maintained. For current ClojureScript best practices, consider more recent templates or frameworks that receive regular updates.
