Easy Haskell Language Server Nix
Easy Haskell Language Server tooling with Nix!
Example Usage
Quickstart
The quickest way to start using this project is to import the derivation directly from this GitHub project and load up all versions of the Haskell Language Server in a shell.nix file.
NOTE: This README may be out of date, and the rev and sha256 provided below might not be the latest version!
Remember to check the latest revision and update it if necessary, substituting the sha256 value with pkgs.lib.fakeSha256 to get the latest SHA256 hash.
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { } }:
let
inherit (pkgs) callPackage fetchFromGitHub mkShell;
easy-hls-src = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "jkachmar";
repo = "easy-hls-nix";
rev = "b0ceb9277963eb39a8bb279f187e38b36d7d63db";
sha256 = "1UD7GIHLZyJueRMPpUiV1SoeBEwFyz6tgCRijDvfWkU=";
};
easy-hls = callPackage easy-hls-src {};
in
mkShell {
buildInputs = [ easy-hls ];
}
Explicitly Selecting GHC Versions
This project includes all of the binaries associated with a particular version of the Haskell Language Server.
While this can be convenient for a global installation (e.g. with nix-env or nix profile), some projects may only need to support a single version of GHC and the maintainer may not want to carry around any unnecessary dependencies.
In that case, the supported GHC versions can be overridden by explicitly supplying a ghcVersions argument, as follows:
# ...see the Quickstart example above for details...
easy-hls = callPackage easy-hls-src {
ghcVersions = [ "8.8.4" ];
};
This will provide the haskell-language-server-wrapper and haskell-language-server-8.8.4 binaries and no others.
Flakes (Advanced)
This project supports Nix Flakes!
Contributors familiar with Nix Flakes are welcome to use it directly (via nix profile or their own flake.nix file) and invited to contribute user-friendly documentation if they find Flakes support to be particularly helpful.
