Current state of automatic generation of externs file for CLJS Advanced Compilation?

[james borden]

Is there a way to automatically generate externs files for js libraries for use with the cljs advanced compilation mode? 

I am having problems using a cljsjs package because its extern file does not contain all of the methods of an object I need to complete the introductory tutorial for the js library. My workaround is to create a separate extern file and include the method I need. However, there seems to be many more methods/properties missing from the cljsjs extern file and I would like to just generate a new one and make a pull request.

Is there currently a method someone is using to automatically generate one? It seems tedious and prone to error to generate extern files manually.

We use https://github.com/ejlo/lein-externs for this and it seems to work pretty well for our purposes.

This is part of the proposed GSoC ClojureScript & Closure project so we're likely to see support for this by sometime this fall.

lein-externs is working for me so far, thanks!

Thanks for all of the work you have done with the development, documentation and promotion of Clojurescript.  Being able to drop in an external js library to project and having it externed by the compiler automatically would be a great feature. Good luck with the GSoC project!
