component
A tiny Clojure framework for managing the lifecycle and dependencies of stateful software components.
What is component?
Component is a Clojure library that provides a framework for managing the lifecycle and dependencies of stateful software components. It solves the problem of coordinating startup/shutdown sequences and dependency relationships in applications with runtime resources like database connections, HTTP pools, or caches. By making these relationships explicit, it enables cleaner architecture and easier testing.
Clojure developers building medium to large applications with multiple stateful resources that need coordinated lifecycle management. It's particularly useful for teams adopting REPL-driven development workflows.
Developers choose Component because it provides a simple, idiomatic Clojure pattern for dependency injection without sacrificing immutability or functional principles. Its explicit dependency graph eliminates hidden global state and makes application structure more maintainable.
