How do I read an EDN file from ClojureScript running on NodeJS?

I have a simple data file in EDN format I need to read in a ClojureScript cli app running on NodeJS, but none of the relevant core libraries from Clojure seem to be available (core.java.io/read, clojure.edn/read, etc.)

What should I be using instead?

Solution

  • Or even easier use readFileSync (shadow-cljs example):

      (require '["fs" :as fs]
           '[cljs.reader :as reader])

  (defn read-edn [path]
    (-> (.readFileSync fs path "utf8")
        reader/read-string))

  (read-edn "/xxx/yyy/zzz/my-data.edn")
