Development recommendations
Most of our developers use using Visual Studio Code. In that case, you just have to open the project, and install the recommended extensions. Before continuing, make sure you've read:
- Alejandro's post on setting up a Haskell development environment, but forget about the Visual Studio Code configuration outlined there.
- Kowainik's Haskell Style Guide.
Visual Studio Code extensions
To make our lives easier while developing in Haskell, we use a set of recommended extensions. The first time you open the project, the editor should suggest to install all those you do not have,
- Haskell, the best thing that happened to Haskell for editors/IDEs! ❤️
- hlint, another great extension to have suggestions and refactors in Haskell 🛠
- stylish-haskell, the formatter we use to prettify the code 💅🏼
- editorconfig, to have consistency between different editors and envs 🐀
Styling 💅🏼
We loosely follow Kowainik's Haskell Style Guide. In order to automate styling, we use stylish-haskell, for which we provide a .stylish-haskell.yaml configuration file.
We don't provide any git hook or tool that enforces our style. By default the provided .vscode/settings.json file runs styling on every save. However, before you propose any PR please make sure to run stylish-haskell yourself, and to follow our style guide mentioned above to the extent possible. 😊
Happy hacking! 👏🏼
