:skull: A Haskell package skeleton.

This project is unmaintained! Haskeleton is now available as a Stack template. Getting started with the new version is easy:

> stack new your-project haskeleton -p github-username=your-username -p 'author-name=Your Name'

Haskeleton

Haskeleton is a project skeleton for Haskell packages. It's a tool, like cabal init, for creating new packages. Unlike cabal init, packages created by Haskeleton are fully-featured and idiomatic. Your new package will have:

• A library with its own source directory and section in the Cabal file.

• An executable that depends on your library.

• A comprehensive test suite including unit tests, property checks, doctests, program and documentation coverage, and code quality.

• A benchmark suite for analyzing the peformance of your library.

For a more complete explanation of these features, read Haskeleton's introductory blog post. It also describes why you might want each of these things.

Haskeleton is implemented as a template for hi. To create a new package, run hi and point it to this repository. For example:

$ hi example \
    --repository git://github.com/tfausak/haskeleton.git
Creating new project with git repository:git://github.com/tfausak/haskeleton.git
    create  example/.gitattributes
    create  example/.gitignore
    create  example/.stylish-haskell.yaml
    create  example/.travis.yml
    create  example/CHANGELOG.md
    create  example/CONTRIBUTING.md
    create  example/HLint.hs
    create  example/Haskeleton.hs
    create  example/LICENSE.md
    create  example/Makefile
    create  example/README.md
    create  example/Setup.hs
    create  example/benchmark/Bench.hs
    create  example/benchmark/ExampleBench.hs
    create  example/executable/Main.hs
    create  example/library/Example.hs
    create  example/example.cabal
    create  example/test-suite/DocTest.hs
    create  example/test-suite/HLint.hs
    create  example/test-suite/HPC.hs
    create  example/test-suite/Haddock.hs
    create  example/test-suite/ExampleSpec.hs
    create  example/test-suite/Spec.hs
    create  example/tmp/.gitignore

Haskeleton works with hi version 1.x. The packages it creates work with GHC 7.8 and 7.6, along with the latest version of the Haskell platform (2014.2.0.0).
