How to run the app

There are two possibilities to run the app from the command line:

rlwrap sbcl --load run.lisp

In that case, we are dropped into the Lisp REPL, so we can interact with the running application. It is specially useful to reload settings (contact information,…).

Or build the binary and run it:

make build
./myproject

Set the port:

PORT=9999 rlwrap sbcl --load run.lisp

Config file

You can use a starter configuration file:

touch ~/.myproject.lisp

In there, you can do anything in Lisp. You probably want to write things after (in-package myproject), but that is not mandatory. For example, you can overwrite the get-products function.

The file will be load'ed at startup, in the context of the myproject package.

Develop

Load myproject.asd (C-c C-k in Slime), (ql:quickload :myproject) and then (start).
