Learn Halogen

Learn purescript-halogen, (v5.0.0-rc.4) from a bottom-up approach

Requirements

Before learning Halogen via this project, you will need to install the following. (If you don't have them already installed, see my purescript learning repo's Install Guide

• purescript (v0.12.5)
• spago (v0.8.0.0)
• parcel (v1.12.3)

Or, to install them in one line

npm i -g purescript@0.12.5 spago@0.8.0 parcel

Target Audience

Required: You are already familiar with...

• PureScript's "Basic" syntax. (If not, see my Basic Syntax overview)
• PureScript's "Module" syntax. (If not, see my Module Syntax overview)
• the purescript-prelude library. (If not, see my Prelude-ish folder)
• "smart constructors." (If not, read my explanation on Smart Constructors)
• the Effect type and how it works. (If not, see my Hello World and Effects folder)

Helpful, but not absolutely necessary: You are already familiar with...

• the philosophical foundations of Functional Programming. (If not, see my FP Philosophical Foundations Overview)
• PureScript's "Type-Level Programming" syntax. (If not, see my Type-Level Programming Syntax overview)
• "do notation." (If not, see my overview on Do Notation. Specifically, Discard.md to Reading Do as Nested Binds.md)
• monad transformers and how they work. (If not, see my Application Structure folder. Specifically, the MTL folder.)

Instructions

1. Git clone this project
2. Run spago build
3. Run spago docs (and refer to the docs via the ./generated-docs/index.html file)
4. Read through each folder using the same rules that I use in my learning repo (described in the third bullet point here).
