How can I add a build step to leiningen?

clojure, leiningen, ring

Solution

I would say, Leiningen Hooks are the proper and idiomatic way to do so: Hooks.

You can modify the behaviour of built-in tasks to a degree using hooks. Hook functionality is provided by the Robert Hooke library, which is included with Leiningen.

Problem

So I've got an application built using Foundation and Ring, and I want to be able to compile my custom Foundation CSS whenever I run `lein ring server` or the like. Specifically, I'd like to be able to add a step the runs `compass compile [path]`. What's the idiomatic way to do this?
