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.
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 🐀
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! 👏🏼
