# haskell-template
|
|
|
|
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) + 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.
|

|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
First-time setup:
|
|
|
|
- [Install Nix](https://nixos.org/download.html) & [enable Flakes](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes)
|
|
- Run `nix develop -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` (`bin/run-via-tmux` if you have tmux installed) 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
|
|
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 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).
|
|
- Run `nix run .#format` to autoformat the project.
