GitBook Plugin - REPL

This is a Gitbook Plugin that allows you to embed a REPL right in your Gitbook! This plugin powers the Clojure REPL used in writing the Clojure By Example guide.

The plugin uses the awesome open-source jqConsole for embedding a terminal.

Dependancies

To make this work, you need a running app in the backend to which the REPL will send code via Ajax and get back evaluated result.

For Clojure you can just fork the Try Clojure project and host it on Heroku. The plugin can then be customized to use your custom heroku app.

Note: You will need to customize the Try Clojure noir app so that it can accept cross-domain requests.
