When I visit a new file with clojure-ts-mode it doesn't insert the ns form

[tesujimath]

I am unsure whether this is blocked by #117.

I see clojure-mode uses

(setq-local clojure-expected-ns-function #'clojure-expected-ns)

after which (clojure-insert-ns-form) works. But not for clojure-ts-mode.

There is a clojure-ts-mode counterpart for this variable and function. Have you tried M-x clojure-ts-insert-ns-form?

The following code is executed during the clojure-ts-mode setup:

(setq-local clojure-ts-expected-ns-function #'clojure-ts-expected-ns)

This doesn't mean that ns form is inserted automatically when you create a new clojure source file though.

Ah, I overlooked that, sorry. Thanks for the pointer.

I hooked it in like this, although I am wondering whether I've overlooked something here too. Because doesn't everyone want such a thing?

(defun tesujimath/clojure-ts-insert-ns-new-file ()
  "Insert namespace form for new Clojure files."
  (when (and (buffer-file-name)
             (= (point-min) (point-max)))
    (clojure-ts-insert-ns-form)
    (insert "\n\n")))

(add-hook 'clojure-ts-mode-hook #'tesujimath/clojure-ts-insert-ns-new-file)

[rrudakov]

Since clojure-mode lacks this feature and clojure-ts-mode mirrors clojure-mode in terms of functionality, it would be a potentially useful addition.

A better way to achieve this would be to use the clj-refactor package, which hooks the cljr--add-ns-if-blank-clj-file function into find-file-hook. This approach is highly robust because it leverages (cider-expected-ns), ensuring the namespace declaration is correctly generated based on your project's path settings.

I may look into how to do this with clojure-lsp, since that's what I'm using instead of clj-refactor.

Thanks for the pointers!
