Haskell nix starter

This is a template to be used for bootstrapping new haskell projects using nix.

The sample program is a simply "hello world" style scotty application.

Dev environment

To spin up a new dev environment, simply run nix-shell. This will set up a new environment with correct versions of ghc, cabal, ghcid, hlint, brittany and ghcide setup.

Run tests

The test suite can be run using

nix-shell --command "cabal test"

Building

The program can be run (with automatic reloading) using

# Enter into a new nix shell
nix-shell

ghcid -c 'cabal new-repl budget' -T ':main'

Deployment

TODO

To do

  • Create deployment/release process and document (build docker images using nix-build?)
  • Create alias for spinning up ghcid and running test suite
