Recently, I’ve made some various projects to make using PureScript with Nix easier, because I wanted to use the Nix package manager for the things it’s good for.
This lets people get tooling like the compiler binary, psc-package, spacchetti-cli, dhall+json binaries, and psc-package2nix.
Speaking of which, I have written this tool to generate derivations for packages from psc-package.json:
If you’d like to read a post on using these in a project, you might like to read this post I’ve written:
And if you’d like to just see some code examples, see this project:
You’ll mostly want to see how the tooling is set up in the shell environment in default.nix, and how the dependencies are prepared in install-deps.nix from the generated information from psc-package2nix. These allow me to do almost no setup in the Travis and Azure CI.
