Function: cider-set-eval-destination

cider-set-eval-destination is an interactive and byte-compiled function defined in cider-session.el.

Signature

(cider-set-eval-destination TYPE)

Documentation

Set the current buffer's eval dispatch (REPL type) to TYPE.

TYPE is one of clj, cljs, multi, or auto. All but auto set cider-repl-type-override for this buffer, overriding the major-mode-based inference of cider-repl-type-for-buffer so that evaluations target the chosen REPL of the buffer's session; auto clears the override. The choice is reflected in the mode line.

This is handy in buffers with no inherent file type to dispatch on (e.g. the scratch buffer) and in .cljc buffers where you want to pin evaluations to a specific REPL.
