This adds a new function cider-eval-list-at-point, that evaluates a list around point [as in: code delimited by the nearest pair of parens surrounding point]. This comes handy to evaluate a function call while the point is anywhere within the function call.
It's modelled after the eval-sexp-at-point solution, and as such, deals with the "deref @" and other quirks intelligently.
In terms of the implementation, it's built on a thingatpoint built-in feature, so no magic text manipulation is happening. Although the thingatpoint code targets Emacs Lisp, it should work fine with Clojure code too.
Sorry, no tests (yet) - I'd appreciate some help or guidance on what to cover for this.
Before submitting the PR make sure the following things have been done (and denote this
by checking the relevant checkboxes):
make test
)make lint
) which is based onelisp-lint
and includescheckdoc
, check-declare, packaging metadata, indentation, and trailing whitespace checks.Thanks!
If you're just starting out to hack on CIDER you might find this section of its
manual extremely useful.
