Config.Dyre.Params

Defines the Params datatype which Dyre uses to define all program-specific configuration data. Shouldn't be imported directly, as Config.Dyre re-exports it.

Documentation

data Params cfgType

This structure is how all kinds of useful data is fed into Dyre. Of course, only the projectName, realMain, and showError fields are really necessary. By using the set of default values provided as Config.Dyre.defaultParams, you can get all the benefits of using Dyre to configure your program in only five or six lines of code.

Constructors

Params

Fields

projectName :: String

The name of the project. This needs to also be the name of the executable, and the name of the configuration file.

configCheck :: Bool

Should Dyre look for and attempt to compile custom configurations? Useful for creating program entry points that bypass Dyre's recompilation, for testing purposes.

configDir :: Maybe (IO FilePath)

The directory to look for a configuration file in.

cacheDir :: Maybe (IO FilePath)

The directory to store build files in, including the final generated executable.

realMain :: cfgType -> IO ()

The main function of the program. When Dyre has completed all of its recompilation, it passes the configuration data to this function and gets out of the way.

showError :: cfgType -> String -> cfgType

This function is used to display error messages that occur during recompilation, by allowing the program to modify its initial configuration.

hidePackages :: [String]

Packages that need to be hidden during compilation

ghcOpts :: [String]

Miscellaneous GHC compilation settings go here

statusOut :: String -> IO ()

A status output function. Will be called with messages when Dyre recompiles or launches anything. A good value is 'hPutStrLn stderr', assuming there is no pressing reason to not put messages on stderr.
