# `hie-core` (Haskell IDE Core)

|

Our vision is that you should build an IDE by combining:
|
||||
|
||||
* [hie-bios](https://github.com/mpickering/hie-bios) for determining where your files are, what the dependencies, what extensions are enabled etc.
|
||||
* `hie-core` - this library - for defining how to type check, when to type check, and producing messages.
|
||||
* `haskell-lsp` for sending those messages to an LSP server.
|
||||
* A VS Code extension, e.g. `extension` in this directory.
|
||||
* [`hie-bios`](https://github.com/mpickering/hie-bios) for determining where your files are, what are their dependencies, what extensions are enabled and so on;
|
||||
* `hie-core` (i.e. this library) for defining how to type check, when to type check, and producing messages;
|
||||
* [`haskell-lsp`](https://github.com/alanz/haskell-lsp) for sending those messages to an LSP ([Language Server Protocol](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/)) server;
|
||||
* A [VS Code extension](https://code.visualstudio.com/api), e.g. `extension` in this directory (although the above components enable Haskell IDE features in other editors too).

There are more details about our approach [in this blog post](https://4ta.uk/p/shaking-up-the-ide).
|
||||
|
||||
## How to use it
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing the binary
|
||||
### VS Code
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installing the binary
|
||||
|
||||
1. `git clone https://github.com/digital-asset/daml.git`
|
||||
2. `cd daml/compiler/hie-core`
|
||||
3. `stack build`
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing the VSCode extension
|
||||
#### Installing the VSCode extension
|
||||
|
||||
1. `cd compiler/hie-core/extension`
|
||||
2. `npm ci`
|
||||
3. `vsce package`
|
||||
4. `code --install-extension hie-core-0.0.1.vsix`
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing in Emacs
|
||||
### Emacs
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install lsp and haskell-lsp
|
||||
2. Add this elisp to your .emacs.el
|
||||
The frst step is to install required Emacs packages. If you don't already have [Melpa](https://melpa.org/#/) package installation configured in your `.emacs`, put this stanza at the top.
|
||||
```elisp
|
||||
;;Melpa packages support
|
||||
(require 'package)
|
||||
(let* ((no-ssl (and (memq system-type '(windows-nt ms-dos))
|
||||
(not (gnutls-available-p))))
|
||||
(proto (if no-ssl "http" "https")))
|
||||
(when no-ssl
|
||||
(warn "\
|
||||
Your version of Emacs does not support SSL connections,
|
||||
which is unsafe because it allows man-in-the-middle attacks.
|
||||
There are two things you can do about this warning:
|
||||
1. Install an Emacs version that does support SSL and be safe.
|
||||
2. Remove this warning from your init file so you won't see it again."))
|
||||
;; Comment/uncomment these two lines to enable/disable MELPA and MELPA Stable as desired
|
||||
(add-to-list 'package-archives (cons "melpa" (concat proto "://melpa.org/packages/")) t)
|
||||
;;(add-to-list 'package-archives (cons "melpa-stable" (concat proto "://stable.melpa.org/packages/")) t)
|
||||
(when (< emacs-major-version 24)
|
||||
;; For important compatibility libraries like cl-lib
|
||||
(add-to-list 'package-archives (cons "gnu" (concat proto "://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))))
|
||||
(package-initialize)
|
||||
;; Remember : to avoid package-not-found errors, refresh the package
|
||||
;; database now and then with M-x package-refresh-contents.
|
||||
```
|
||||
When this is in your `.emacs` and evaluated, `M-x package-refresh-contents` to get the package database downloaded and then `M-x package-list-packages` to display the available packages. Click on a package to install it. You'll need to install the following packages:
|
||||
- `lsp-haskell`
|
||||
- `lsp-ui`
|
||||
- `flycheck`
|
||||
- `yasnippet`
|
||||
|
||||
When done with this, add the following lines to your `.emacs` :
|
||||
```elisp
|
||||
;; LSP support for Haskell
|
||||
(require 'lsp)
|
||||
(require 'lsp-haskell)
|
||||
(require 'yasnippet)

||||

|
||||
(setq lsp-haskell-process-path-hie "hie-core")
|
||||
(setq lsp-haskell-process-args-hie '())
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Optionally, you may wish to add the following conveniences:
|
||||
```elisp
|
||||
;; Enable LSP logging (helpful for debugging)
|
||||
(setq lsp-log-io t)
|
||||
|
||||
;; Keyboard mappings for goto next/previous error
|
||||
(define-key flymake-mode-map (kbd "M-n") 'flymake-goto-next-error)
|
||||
(define-key flymake-mode-map (kbd "M-p") 'flymake-goto-prev-error)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Next stop is to build `hie-core`. In the `daml` repository, navigate to `//compiler/hie-core` and invoked `stack build`. This will install the `hie-core` executable into a location along the lines of `$HOME/path/to/daml/compiler/hie-core/.stack-work/install/x86_64-osx/nightly-2019-05-20/8.6.5/bin/hie-core`. You want to get this executable in your `$PATH`. I achieved this with a command like `ln -s ~/path/to/compiler/hie-core/.stack-work/install/x86_64-osx/nightly-2019-05-20/8.6.5/bin/hie-core ~/.local/bin/hie-core` (because `~/.local/bin` is put into my `PATH` in my `~/.bashrc`).
|
||||
|
||||
Time to test things out. It's important to note that for this to work, your programs need to be compiled with the same compiler used to build `hie-core`. For testing, I've been using the `ghc-lib-gen` target of the [`ghc-lib` project](https://github.com/digital-asset/ghc-lib). Navigate to the root of `ghc-lib` and create an `hie.yaml` file with contents
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
cradle: {cabal: {component: "exe:ghc-lib-gen"}}
|
||||
```
|
||||
Invoke `cabal new-configure -w ~/.stack/programs/~/.stack/programs/x86_64-osx/ghc-8.6.5/bin/ghc` (this is the `ghc` used by `stack` to build `hie-core` - consult `//compiler/hie-core/stack.yaml` to help work out what you should write here). This last step will create a file `cabal.project.local` with contents pointing `cabal` to use the desired `ghc`. You can build `ghc-lib-gen` from the `ghc-lib` directory with the command `cabal new-build` as you like. After creating `cabal.project.local`, you should be all set. Open `ghc-lib/ghc-lib-gen/src/Main.hs` in an Emacs buffer and, for example, hover should bring up type/definition info.
