This repository contains a collection of PureScript programs and scripts.
PureScript is a strongly-typed functional programming language that compiles to JavaScript. It is inspired by Haskell and provides a simple and expressive syntax for writing functional code. PureScript's static type system helps catch many common programming errors at compile-time, making it a powerful language for building robust and maintainable applications.
PureScript is commonly used for frontend web development, where it can be used to build user interfaces with libraries like React or as a replacement for JavaScript in building server-side applications with Node.js. It is also used in other domains like data science, machine learning, and game development.
These are the general steps to install PureScript on different platforms. However, the exact steps may vary depending on the specific operating system and version you are using. It's always a good idea to refer to the official documentation for your platform to get more detailed installation instructions.
- Download and install Node.js from the official Node.js website.
- Open a command prompt or PowerShell window and run the following command to install PureScript globally:
npm install -g purescript
- Once the installation is complete, you can use any text editor or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) to write and compile PureScript code.
- Install Node.js using the package manager for your Linux distribution. For example, on Ubuntu, you can use the following command:
sudo apt-get install nodejs
- Install PureScript globally using npm, the Node.js package manager:
npm install -g purescript
- Once PureScript is installed, you can use any text editor or IDE to write and compile PureScript code.
- Install Node.js using a package manager like Homebrew. Open a terminal and run the following command:
brew install node
- Install PureScript globally using npm, the Node.js package manager:
npm install -g purescript
- Once PureScript is installed, you can use any text editor or IDE to write and compile PureScript code.
You can download individual files, copy & paste code, or clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/YourUsername/PureScript.git
- Clone the repository. If you have written your own programs, save the program with a
.pursfile extension. - Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where the PureScript program is saved.
- Run the following command to compile and run the PureScript program:
purs compile path/to/program.purs -o output
Spago is a popular package manager and build tool for PureScript projects. You can use Spago to manage dependencies, build, and run your PureScript programs in a more organized and efficient way. Here are some basic commands you can use with Spago:
- Install Spago globally (if not already installed):
npm install -g spago
- Initialize a new Spago project:
spago init
- Install dependencies listed in your
spago.dhallfile:
spago install
- Build your PureScript project:
spago build
- Run your PureScript program:
spago run
For more information on using Spago, refer to the official documentation.
