Defining Resources

Liberator uses the concept of resources to interact with the client. The resources are simply Ring-compliant handlers that can be used inside your Reitit routes. These resources are defined using the resource and the defresource macros. We need to reference these functions in the liberator-service.handler namespace to start working with Liberator.

(ns liberator-service.handler
  (:require ...
   [liberator.core :refer [defresource resource]]))

Now we can update our route handler to use a Liberator resource to serve the HTML page:

liberator-snippets/home.clj

(defn loading-page [request]
      (html5
        (head)
        [:body {:class "body-container"}
         mount-target
         (include-js "/js/app.js")]))

(def app
  (reitit-ring/ring-handler ...
