The lein-try
plugin is a tool that makes it easy to quickly try out a
clojure project in the lein repl. Given the name and version of a clojure
project, it will drop you into a repl with that project loaded in. This is a
great way to get the feel for the features of an unfamiliar clojure library
before dropping it in as a dependency to your own project.
First, add the plugin to your ~/.lein/profiles.clj
file by including the
following line in the :plugins
vector:
[lein-try "0.4.3"]
Then simply invoke the plugin with whatever project you want to try:
$ lein try automat
And to include a specific version number:
$ lein try automat "0.1.3"
