The regular-web package

This package implements generic functions for web programming. Based on the regular library [1], we provide generic functions for generating HTML, Formlets, and JSON. For a larger example, see the Example.lhs [2] file on github.

Example

Consider the following datatypes:

 data Person = Person
     _name   :: String
   , _age    :: Int
   , _isMale :: Bool
   , _place  :: Place

 data Place = Place
     _city      :: String
   , _country   :: String
   , _continent :: String

We can now derive a Regular instance for the Person datatype using Template Haskell:

 $(deriveAll ''Place  "PFPlace")
 $(deriveAll ''Person "PFPerson")

 type instance PF Place  = PFPlace
 type instance PF Person = PFPerson

We can construct an example person:

 location :: Place
 location = Place "Utrecht" "The Netherlands" "Europe"
 chris    :: Person
 chris    = Person "chris" 25 True location

 And, as an example, we can generate |HTML| and |JSON| values:

 locationHtml :: X.Html
 locationHtml = ghtml location

 personHtml :: X.Html
 personHtml = ghtml chris

 locationJSON :: JSValue
 locationJSON = gto location
