List Functions For A Namespace

You know that clojure.string has a function for uppercasing a string, but you can't quite remember the name of the function. You'd remember if you saw the name though. What you'd like to do is list all the functions in the clojure.string namespace to see if you can pick it out.

You can do just that. There are a couple ways to do it, in fact.

You can use the dir function with Clojure 1.6+. Alternatively, you can grab all the keys from the public intern mappings of the namespace.

> (dir clojure.string)
blank?
capitalize
ends-with?
escape
includes?
index-of
join
last-index-of
lower-case
re-quote-replacement
replace
replace-first
reverse
split
split-lines
starts-with?
trim
trim-newline
triml
trimr
upper-case
nil

> (keys (ns-publics 'clojure.string))
(ends-with? capitalize reverse join replace-first starts-with? escape last-index-of re-quote-replacement includes? replace split-lines lower-case trim-newline upper-case split trimr index-of trim triml blank?)
