# haskell-template
2022-04-06 21:43:03 +00:00
Haskell project template optimized for a fully reproducible and friendly development environment. Based on:
- [Nix ](http://www.srid.ca/haskell-nix ) + [Flakes ](https://serokell.io/blog/practical-nix-flakes ) + GHC 9
- VSCode + [HLS ](https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server )
- [fourmolu ](https://github.com/fourmolu/fourmolu ) autoformatting
- [Relude ](https://github.com/kowainik/relude#relude ) as Prelude.

First-time setup:
2021-05-31 23:19:51 +00:00

2022-01-31 14:49:23 +00:00
- Run `nix develop -c haskell-language-server` to sanity check your environment
2021-05-31 23:19:51 +00:00
- [Open as single-folder workspace ](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/workspaces#_singlefolder-workspaces ) in Visual Studio Code
2021-12-04 15:00:57 +00:00
- When prompted by VSCode, install the [workspace recommended ](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/extension-marketplace#_workspace-recommended-extensions ) extensions
- < kbd > Ctrl+Shift+P</ kbd > to run command "Nix-Env: Select Environment" and then select `shell.nix` .
- The extension will ask you to reload VSCode at the end. Do it.

2021-12-06 19:59:18 +00:00
Open `Main.hs` , and expect all HLS IDE features like hover-over tooltip to work out of the box. Try changing the source, and expect Ghcid to re-compile and re-run the app in the terminal below.

Renaming the project:
2021-05-31 23:37:01 +00:00
2021-12-04 15:00:57 +00:00
```sh
2022-03-11 17:23:18 +00:00
git clone < your-clone-url >
cd your-project
2021-12-04 15:00:57 +00:00
NAME=myproject
2022-03-11 17:23:18 +00:00
2021-12-04 15:00:57 +00:00
git mv haskell-template.cabal ${NAME}.cabal

## Tips
2022-01-17 00:10:56 +00:00
- Run `nix flake update` to update all flake inputs. nixpkgs is pinned to a specific a rev in `flake.nix` , which you can advance to the latest rev reported in [status.nixos.org ](https://status.nixos.org ).
2022-03-25 18:09:08 +00:00
- Run `nix run .#format` to autoformat the project.
