Halogen Template

This is a template for starting a fresh project with the Halogen library for writing declarative, type-safe user interfaces.

You can learn more about Halogen with these resources:

• The Halogen documentation, which includes a quick start guide and a concepts reference.
• The Learn Halogen learning repository.
• The Real World Halogen application and guide.
• The API documentation on Pursuit

You can chat with other Halogen users on the PureScript Discourse, or join the Functional Programming Slack (invite link) in the #purescript and #purescript-beginners channels.

What does this offer over the original template

1. This uses pnpm instead of npm as the package manager
2. This uses esbuild for compile times 10x-100x times faster than webpack

Getting started

Prerequisites: This template assumes you already have Git and Node.js installed with pnpm somewhere on your path.

First, clone the repository and step into it:

git clone [email protected]:Mateiadrielrafael/purescript-halogen-template.git halogen-project
cd halogen-project

I personally use nix to install purescript and spago, but if you want to install them with pnpm run:

pnpm i -D purescript spago

Then install the rest of the dependencies with:

pnpm install

Building

To start the development server run the following command and then open a browser at localhost:8080:

pnpm run dev

To generate a production bundle run:

pnpm run build
