The corridor connecting Dhall and Haskell
A collection of various tools in Dhall for working with Haskell.
This is especially helpful with hpack-dhall or dhall-to-cabal, but the types and functions here are general enough to use whenever you work with Haskell from Dhall.
API docs are on GitHub Pages.
We recommend the following steps to make working in this repository as easy as possible.
This command ensures that any work you do within this repository happens within a consistent reproducible environment. That environment provides various debugging tools, etc. When you leave this directory, you will leave that environment behind, so it doesn’t impact anything else on your system.
This will apply our repository-specific Git configuration to git commands run against this repository. It’s lightweight (you should definitely look at it before applying this command) – it does things like telling git blame to ignore formatting-only commits.
Especially if you are unfamiliar with the Dhall ecosystem, there is a Nix build (both with and without a flake). If you are unfamiliar with Nix, Nix adjacent can help you get things working in the shortest time and least effort possible.
nix build will build and test the project fully.
nix develop will put you into an environment where the traditional build tooling works. If you also have direnv installed, then you should automatically be in that environment when you're in a directory in this project.
In the absolute, almost every change is a breaking change. This section describes how we mitigate that to offer minor updates and revisions.
