Documentation.Haddock

The data structure used to render a Haddock page for a module - it is the interface of the module. The core of Haddock lies in creating this structure (see Haddock.Interface). The structure also holds intermediate data needed during its creation.

Constructors

Interface

ifaceMod :: Module	The module represented by this interface.
ifaceOrigFilename :: FilePath	Original file name of the module.
ifaceInfo :: !(HaddockModInfo Name)	Textual information about the module.
ifaceDoc :: !(Maybe (Doc Name))	Documentation header.
ifaceRnDoc :: Maybe (Doc DocName)	Documentation header with link information.
ifaceOptions :: ![DocOption]	Haddock options for this module (prune, ignore-exports, etc).
ifaceDeclMap :: Map Name DeclInfo	Declarations originating from the module. Excludes declarations without names (instances and stand-alone documentation comments). Includes names of subordinate declarations mapped to their parent declarations.
ifaceRnDocMap :: Map Name (DocForDecl DocName)	Documentation of declarations originating from the module (including subordinates).
ifaceSubMap :: Map Name [Name]
ifaceExportItems :: ![ExportItem Name]
ifaceRnExportItems :: [ExportItem DocName]
ifaceExports :: ![Name]	All names exported by the module.
ifaceVisibleExports :: ![Name]	All "visible" names exported by the module. A visible name is a name that will show up in the documentation of the module.
ifaceInstances :: ![Instance]	Instances exported by the module.
ifaceInstanceDocMap :: Map Name (Doc Name)	Documentation of instances defined in the module.

data InstalledInterface

Source

A smaller version of Interface that can be created from Haddock's interface files (InterfaceFile).

Constructors

InstalledInterface

instMod :: Module	The module represented by this interface.
instInfo :: HaddockModInfo Name	Textual information about the module.
instDocMap :: Map Name (DocForDecl Name)	Documentation of declarations originating from the module (including subordinates).
instExports :: [Name]	All names exported by this module.
instVisibleExports :: [Name]	All "visible" names exported by the module. A visible name is a name that will show up in the documentation of the module.
instOptions :: [DocOption]	Haddock options for this module (prune, ignore-exports, etc).
instSubMap :: Map Name [Name]

Instances

Binary InstalledInterface

createInterfaces

Source

:: Verbosity	Verbosity of logging to stdout
-> [String]	A list of file or module names sorted by module topology
-> [Flag]	Command-line flags
-> [InterfaceFile]	Interface files of package dependencies
-> Ghc ([Interface], LinkEnv)	Resulting list of interfaces and renaming environment
Create `Interface` structures by typechecking the list of modules using the GHC API and processing the resulting syntax trees.

Export items & declarations

data ExportItem name

Source

Constructors

ExportDecl

An exported declaration

expItemDecl :: LHsDecl name	A declaration
expItemMbDoc :: DocForDecl name	Maybe a doc comment, and possibly docs for arguments (if this decl is a function or type-synonym)
expItemSubDocs :: [(name, DocForDecl name)]	Subordinate names, possibly with documentation
expItemInstances :: [DocInstance name]	Instances relevant to this declaration, possibly with documentation

ExportNoDecl

An exported entity for which we have no documentation (perhaps because it resides in another package)

expItemName :: name
expItemSubs :: [name]	Subordinate names

ExportGroup

A section heading

expItemSectionLevel :: Int	Section level (1, 2, 3, ... )
expItemSectionId :: String	Section id (for hyperlinks)
expItemSectionText :: Doc name	Section heading text

ExportDoc (Doc name)

Some documentation

ExportModule Module

A cross-reference to another module

type DeclInfo = (Decl, DocForDecl Name, [(Name, DocForDecl Name)])

Source

A declaration that may have documentation, including its subordinates, which may also have documentation

type DocForDecl name = (Maybe (Doc name), FnArgsDoc name)

Source

type FnArgsDoc name = Map Int (Doc name)

Source

Arguments and result are indexed by Int, zero-based from the left, because that's the easiest to use when recursing over types.

Hyperlinking

type LinkEnv = Map Name Module

Source

An environment used to create hyper-linked syntax.

data DocName

Source

An extension of Name that may contain the preferred place to link to in the documentation.

Constructors

Documented Name Module
Undocumented Name

Instances

Eq DocName

NamedThing DocName

Binary DocName

docNameOcc :: DocName -> OccName

Source

The OccName of this name.

Instances

type DocInstance name = (InstHead name, Maybe (Doc name))

Source

An instance head that may have documentation.

type InstHead name = ([HsPred name], name, [HsType name])

Source

The head of an instance. Consists of a context, a class name and a list of instance types.

Interface files

(.haddock files)

data InterfaceFile

Source

Constructors

InterfaceFile

ifLinkEnv :: LinkEnv
ifInstalledIfaces :: [InstalledInterface]

Instances

Binary InterfaceFile

readInterfaceFile :: MonadIO m => NameCacheAccessor m -> FilePath -> m (Either String InterfaceFile)

Source

Read a Haddock (.haddock) interface file. Return either an InterfaceFile or an error message.

This function can be called in two ways. Within a GHC session it will update the use and update the session's name cache. Outside a GHC session a new empty name cache is used. The function is therefore generic in the monad being used. The exact monad is whichever monad the first argument, the getter and setter of the name cache, requires.

nameCacheFromGhc :: NameCacheAccessor Ghc

Source

freshNameCache :: NameCacheAccessor IO

Source

type NameCacheAccessor m = (m NameCache, NameCache -> m ())
