nrepl.el: how to eval clojure buffer form to nrepl buffer instead of echo area?

Question

I\'m using nrepl.el from git (0.1.6-preview, via el-get recipe), and I would like clojure buffer evals: C-x C-e, C-M-x, C-c C-r for form, top-level form and region respectively,

The behavior you described is not presently supported in nrepl.el.

But the good news is you are in emacs-land, so it should be possible to write your own custom handler to direct the output to the nrepl buffer and adjust your key bindings if you like.

For example, this is the equivalent of C-x C-e but sends the result of the evaluation to the repl buffer instead of the minibuffer:

(defun my-interactive-eval-to-repl (form)
  (let ((buffer nrepl-nrepl-buffer))
  (nrepl-send-string form (nrepl-handler buffer) nrepl-buffer-ns)))

(defun my-eval-last-expression-to-repl ()
  (interactive)
  (my-interactive-eval-to-repl (nrepl-last-expression)))
