Slightly higher level wrapper for creating GHCi-like REPL monads that are composable with normal MTL transformers. Mostly exists because I got tired of implementing the same interface for simple shells over and over and decided to canonize the giant pile of hacks that I use to make Haskeline work.
type Repl a = HaskelineT IO a
-- Evaluation : handle each line user inputs
cmd :: String -> Repl ()
cmd input = liftIO $ print input
-- Tab Completion: return a completion for partial words entered
completer :: Monad m => WordCompleter m
completer n = do
let names = ["kirk", "spock", "mccoy"]
return $ filter (isPrefixOf n) names
-- Commands
help :: [String] -> Repl ()
help args = liftIO $ print $ "Help: " ++ show args
say :: [String] -> Repl ()
say args = do
_ <- liftIO $ system $ "cowsay" ++ " " ++ (unwords args)
return ()
options :: [(String, [String] -> Repl ())]
options = [
("help", help) -- :help
, ("say", say) -- :say
]
ini :: Repl ()
ini = liftIO $ putStrLn "Welcome!"
repl :: IO ()
repl = evalRepl ">>> " cmd options (Word completer) iniTrying it out:
$ runhaskell Simple.hs
# Or if in a sandbox: cabal exec runhaskell Simple.hs
Welcome!
>>> <TAB>
kirk spock mccoy
>>> k<TAB>
kirk
>>> spam
"spam"
>>> :say Hello Haskell

|| ||Quite often tab completion is dependent on the internal state of the Repl so we'd like to query state of the
interpreter for tab completions based on actions performed themselves within the Repl, this is modeleted
naturally as a monad transformer stack with StateT on top of HaskelineT.

$ evalRepl ">>> " cmd opts (Word comp) initJust as GHCi will provide different tab completion for kind-level vs type-level symbols based on which prefix
the user has entered, we can also set up a provide this as a first-level construct using a Prefix tab
completer which takes care of the string matching behind the API.
