my-reflex-recipes

A collection of worked reflex-dom exercises. See them running here.

Installation

Building the dependencies is still tricky.

Use try-reflex nix environment, or see buildUbuntu.md in this repository

For this package, build a javascript app:

cabal sandbox init
cabal install --ghcjs --only-dependencies
cabal configure --ghcjs
cabal build
cabal install --ghcjs

Or build a Haskell app that will render the DOM in a GTK+ window:

cabal sandbox init
cabal install --only-dependencies
cabal configure
cabal build
cabal install

Switch between a ghc or ghcjs build with the --ghcjs flag when configuring. Building for ghc seems to work better with cabal repl, ghc-mod, haskell-mode

Purpose

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around reflex-dom, but it looks awesome and I want to invest some energy in it. So I'll try to do some simple exercises here. Perhaps useful to others in the same boat. I'll hopefully be able to contribute documentation to them as I figure things out, and I hope you'll consider doing the same!
