Rewrite utilities for refactoring clojure files.

Mostly a collection of useful extensions written on top of rewrite-clj.

This is an experimental alpha-stage library that is sure to have many bugs and coverage issues. Please be patient and feel free to contribute issues and fixes.

current version:

docs: Found on cljdoc

In the umschreiben-clj.requires namespace you'll find:

Replaces the require of the namespace <from> with <to>, also replacing all usages of <from> accordingly to <to>, applying alias and :refer symbols if they are present.

Able to add a require to the list of requires of a namespace. If the namespace being added already exists in the list of requires, add behaves like replace.

in the umschreiben-clj.variables namespace you'll find:

Allows one to rename a variable that may or may not have also live in a new namespace.

(umschreiben-clj.variables/rename ..node-representation-of-clj-ns.. 'clojure.string/join 'my-join '[my.helpers :as helpers])

run on

(ns rename-example
  (:require [clojure.string :as str]))
(str/join ["hello" "world"])

results in

(ns rename-example
  (:require [clojure.string :as str] ;; left in-place in case other usages are present
            [my.helpers :as helpers]))
(helpers/join ["hello" "world"])

Depending on the structure of the namespaces :requires the behavior of umschreiben-clj.variables/rename differs widely so we encourage one to check out the examples in the test suite and also play around with it yourself.

Renaming variables that are required using :refer has limited support and isn't recommended. Since umschreiben-clj doesn't consider binding information, renaming un-namespaced variables that are :refer'ed from other namespaces can conflict with local variable bindings. For example, running (umschreiben-clj.variables/rename ..node-of-code-below.. 'clojure.string/join 'my-join '[my.helpers :as helpers]) on:

(ns shadowing-issue
  (:require [clojure.string :refer [join]]))
(let [join "hello world"]
  (println join))

currently results in the incorrect result:

(ns shadowing-issue
  (:require clojure.string
            [my.helpers :as helpers]))
(let [helpers/join "hello world"]
  (println helpers/join))

At Nubank this library, used in conjuction with ordnungsamt, allows us to realize namespace and function deprecations across hundreds of Clojure repositories
