Handling user bindings with clj-kondo

[mode89]

Hi :)

Is it possible to handle user defined macros (passed as :bindings to eval-string) with clj-kondo hooks?

[borkdude]

I don't understand your question, please be more elaborate or even better, give a concrete example.

[borkdude]

Can you please make a Github repo I can clone to test your problem?

[mode89]

Sure, I will make one tomorrow.

Here is the repo.
Please let me know, if you need anything else.
Thank you for helping with this :)

@mode89 Ah yes, I think clj-kondo doesn't play well with functions that aren't qualified via an ns form.

for clj-kondo users you could ask users to write this:

(require '[my-api :refer :all])

and then expose your macro/functions via my-api which you put in SCI's {:namespaces {'my-api ...}}.

When evaluating stuff in the interpreter you could automatically also evaluate (require '[my-api :refer :all]) beforehand.

I see. Thank you!

Unfortunately, I can't use this approach. The DSL, that I'm making, isn't going to expose namespaces to the user. It will have Nix-like imports.

I don't know if it is going to fit design and goals of clj-kondo, but do you think it would be possible to have something like a pre-load script or a configuration option for declaring custom globally available bindings in clj-kondo? That would do the trick for me.

[borkdude]

I guess we could do that. Can you file a clj-kondo issue (and/or PR?)

[mode89]

Here is the issue clj-kondo/clj-kondo#2214

Not sure about making a PR by myself :)
I will definitely look into the source code, though.
