Documentation

Haddock

Haddock documentation for HEAD is available.

Adding inline-js as a dependency

cabal

Add a source-repository-package in the cabal.project file, see documentation for details.

stack

Add an extra-deps entry in the stack.yaml file, see documentation for details.

nix

Here's an example overlay.

pkgsSelf: pkgsSuper:
let
  src = pkgsSelf.fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "tweag";
    repo = "inline-js";
    rev = "<rev>";
    sha256 = pkgsSelf.lib.fakeSha256;
  };
in
{
  haskellPackages = pkgsSuper.haskellPackages.override {
    overrides = self: _: {
      inline-js-core = (self.callCabal2nixWithOptions "inline-js-core" src
        "--subpath inline-js-core"
        { }).overrideAttrs (_: {
        preBuild = ''
          substituteInPlace src/Language/JavaScript/Inline/Core/NodePath.hs --replace '"node"' '"${pkgsSelf.nodejs-16_x}/bin/node"'
        '';
      });
      inline-js =
        self.callCabal2nixWithOptions "inline-js" src "--subpath inline-js" { };
    };
  };
}

Implemented features

• Manage node sessions which run the eval server script for Haskell/JavaScript interop
• Evaluate expressions with require()/import() support
• Export Haskell functions to async/sync JavaScript functions
• Load third party libraries in user-specified node_modules
• Garbage-collected JSVal references in Haskell
• Support Promise-based async evaluation
• Type classes for Haskell/JavaScript data marshaling, with aeson support

• Doesn't require node native addon or third party libraries

Planned features

• Integrate with TypeScript compiler, generate Haskell code from TypeScript .d.ts code
• Integrate with headless browser testing frameworks like playwright/puppeteer for running JavaScript in browsers
