# purescript-bridge

Translate your Haskell types to PureScript types. It should in theory work for almost all Haskell types, including type constructors!
You just have to instantiate it with dummy parameters from e.g. "Language.PureScript.Bridge.TypeParameters". 

For compatible JSON representations you should be using [aeson](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/aeson)'s generic encoding/decoding with default options
and `gAesonEncodeJson` and `gAesonDecodeJson` from the [purescript-argonaut-codecs](https://github.com/purescript-contrib/purescript-argonaut-codecs)
package, (Data.Argonaut.Aeson).

At the time of this writing the PR providing `Data.Argonaut.Aeson` was not yet merged.
In the meantime, you can find the PR
[here](https://github.com/purescript-contrib/purescript-argonaut-codecs/pull/12).

Usage of this library is documented in [`Language.Purescript.Bridge`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/purescript-bridge/docs/Language-PureScript-Bridge.html).

All you should need to get started is: [`writePSTypes`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/purescript-bridge/docs/Language-PureScript-Bridge.html#writePSTypes).

You can customize data type translation by providing your own `TypeBridge`.

This library is at a really early stage. It works for my use case at the moment and I will fix bugs when they come along.

Expect bugs - especially for more advanced use cases!
