# haskell-template
Get a Haskell development environment up and running quickly, as long as Nix is available on your system[^windows].
[^windows]: On Windows, you may install Nix [under WSL2](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nix_Installation_Guide#Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux_.28WSL.29) and use the [Remote - WSL extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-wsl) to connect from the native VSCode. This runs your project under Linux while providing a near-native development experience on Windows.
This repository is a Haskell project template that is optimized for a fully reproducible and friendly development environment. It is based on:
Get a Haskell development environment up and running quickly. Thanks to Nix, this template is optimized for a fully reproducible and friendly development environment. It is based on:
- [Nix](https://srid.ca/haskell-nix) + [Flakes](https://serokell.io/blog/practical-nix-flakes) (via [`github:srid/haskell-flake`](https://github.com/srid/haskell-flake)) + GHC 9
- VSCode + [HLS](https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server)

## Getting Started
First-time setup:
*tldr: Install Nix, enable Flakes, open in VSCode.*
- [Install Nix](https://nixos.org/download.html) (>= 2.8) & [enable Flakes](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes) (Using Windows? See footnote[^windows])
- Run `nix develop -i -c haskell-language-server` to sanity check your environment
- [Open as single-folder workspace](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/workspaces#_singlefolder-workspaces) in Visual Studio Code
- 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.
To run the program with auto-recompile:
- Press <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+B</kbd> in VSCode, or run `bin/run` in terminal, to launch Ghcid running your program.
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:
```sh
# First, click the green "Use this template" button on GitHub to create your copy.
git clone <your-clone-url>
cd your-project
NAME=myproject
git mv haskell-template.cabal ${NAME}.cabal
nix run nixpkgs#sd -- haskell-template ${NAME} * */*
git add . && git commit -m rename
```

## Tips

- Run `nix --option sandbox false build .#check -L` to run the flake checks.
- Run `treefmt` in nix shell to autoformat the project. This uses [treefmt](https://github.com/numtide/treefmt), which uses `./treefmt.toml` (where fourmolu and nixpkgs-fmt are specified).
- Run `bin/hoogle` to start Hoogle with packages in your cabal file.
- Run `bin/test` to run the test suite.
- Run the application without installing: `nix run github:srid/haskell-template` (or `nix run .` from checkout)
## Common workflows
### Adding tests
1. Split any logic code out of `Main.hs` into, say, a `Lib.hs`.
1. Correspondingly, add `other-modules: Lib` to the "shared" section of your cabal file.
1. Add `tests/Spec.hs` (example below):
```haskell
module Main where
import Lib qualified
import Test.Hspec (describe, hspec, it, shouldContain)
main :: IO ()
main = hspec $ do
describe "Lib.hello" $ do
it "contains the world emoji" $ do
toString Lib.hello `shouldContain` "🌎"
```
1. Add the tests stanza to the cabal file:
```cabal
test-suite tests
import: shared
main-is: Spec.hs
type: exitcode-stdio-1.0
hs-source-dirs: tests
build-depends: hspec
```
1. Update `hie.yaml` accordingly; for example, by adding,
```yaml
- path: "tests"
component: "test:tests"
```
1. Add `bin/test` and `chmod a+x` it:
```sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -xe
exec nix develop -i -c ghcid -c "cabal repl test:tests" -T :main
```
1. Commit your changes to Git, and test it out by running `bin/test`.
### Adding Garnix CI
To use [Garnix](https://garnix.io/) instead of Github Actions, you may provide a `garnix.yaml` like the below:
```yaml
builds:
include:
- "packages.x86_64-linux.*"
- "packages.aarch64-darwin.*"
- "checks.x86_64-linux.*"
- "checks.aarch64-darwin.*"
- "devShells.x86_64-linux.default"
- "devShells.aarch64-darwin.default"
exclude:
# https://github.com/srid/haskell-flake/issues/21
- "checks.*.default-hls"
- "packages.*.check"
```
