Description

Repline exposes an additional monad transformer on top of Haskeline called HaskelineT. It simplifies several aspects of composing Haskeline with State and Exception monads in modern versions of mtl.

type Repl a = HaskelineT IO a

The evaluator evalRepl evaluates a HaskelineT monad transformer by constructing a shell with several custom functions and evaluating it inside of IO:

  • Commands: Handled on ordinary input.
  • Completions: Handled when tab key is pressed.
  • Options: Handled when a command prefixed by a prefix character is entered.
  • Command prefix character: Optional command prefix ( passing Nothing ignores the Options argument ).
  • Banner: Text Displayed at initialization.
  • Initializer: Run at initialization.

A simple evaluation function might simply echo the output back to the screen.

-- Evaluation : handle each line user inputs
cmd :: String -> Repl ()
cmd input = liftIO $ print input

Several tab completion options are available, the most common is the WordCompleter which completes on single words separated by spaces from a list of matches. The internal logic can be whatever is required and can also access a StateT instance to query application state.

-- Tab Completion: return a completion for partial words entered
completer :: Monad m => WordCompleter m
completer n = do
  let names = ["kirk", "spock", "mccoy"]
  return $ filter (isPrefixOf n) names

Input which is prefixed by a colon (commands like ":type" and ":help") queries an association list of functions which map to custom logic. The function takes a space-separated list of augments in it's first argument. If the entire line is desired then the unwords function can be used to concatenate.

-- Commands
help :: [String] -> Repl ()
help args = liftIO $ print $ "Help: " ++ show args

say :: [String] -> Repl ()
say args = do
  _ <- liftIO $ system $ "cowsay" ++ " " ++ (unwords args)
  return ()

Now we need only map these functions to their commands.

options :: [(String, [String] -> Repl ())]
options = [
    ("help", help)  -- :help
  , ("say", say)    -- :say
  ]

The banner function is simply an IO action that is called at the start of the shell.

ini :: Repl ()
ini = liftIO $ putStrLn "Welcome!"

Putting it all together we have a little shell.

main :: IO ()
main = evalRepl (pure ">>> ") cmd options (Just ':') (Word completer) ini

Putting this in a file we can test out our cow-trek shell.

$ runhaskell Main.hs
Welcome!
