Interactive Development

There are two common ways of developing with Ring. The easier way is to use Lein-Ring. The more flexible way is to use the reloaded workflow.

Using Lein-Ring

The Lein-Ring plugin is the most straightforward way. To use it, first add it to your project file:

:plugins [[lein-ring "0.8.11"]]

You then need to tell it where your main handler function is. You can do this by adding the following option map to your project file:

:ring {:handler your.app/handler}

Once your project file is set up, you can use the following command to start a development server:

lein ring server

The server will automatically reload any modified files in your source directory.
