# TO BE DEPRECATED
Clojure 1.12.x includes the add-libs function directly and the clojure.tools.deps.alpha library approach is deprecated.
The approach used in this repository will still work for Clojure 1.11.x, although will eventually be replaced by a Clojure 1.12.x version.
## REPL driven development with hot-loading of Libraries
A simple web application server that is created using REPL driven development and hot-loading of libraries using `clojure.tools.deps.alpha`
> NOTE: `clojure.tools.deps.alpha.repl/add-libs` design is not finalized and may change at any time without notice. If hot-loading stops working, check the [GitHub project](https://github.com/clojure/tools.deps.alpha) for changes.
* [Project Repository](https://github.com/practicalli/hot-loading)
## Usage
Start a REPL using the :repl/reloaded alias from [practicalli/clojure-deps-edn](http://practicalli.github.io/clojure/clojure-tools/install/community-tools.html) user-level configuration
With Rebel Readline Terminal REPL UI with nREPL support:
```shell
clojure -M:repl/reloaded
```
> Alternatively, use `:dev/reloaded` or `:lib/hotload` aliases with any `clojure` command to start a REPL
Open the `src/practicalli/hot_loading.clj` file and evaluate each expression in turn that is contained within the `(comment ,,,)` rich commend block.
Alternatively, [use the `deps.edn` project configuration file to hotload libraries](https://practicalli.github.io/clojure/alternative-tools/clojure-tools/hotload-libraries.html#using-add-libs-with-project-configuration-file).
## Use cases to explore
1) building a web application and wish to try different html generation libraries, hiccup and sablono. Hot load each of these libraries and try them out with the existing web application server.
