  45 ### Options
  46
  47 Default options:
  48
  49 ```javascript
  50 const loaderConfig = {
  51   psc: 'psc',
  52   pscArgs: {},
  53   pscBundle: 'psc-bundle',
  54   pscBundleArgs: {},
  55   pscIde: false, // instant rebuilds using psc-ide-server (experimental)
  56   pscIdeArgs: {}, // for example, to use different psc-ide-server port: {port: 4088}
  57   pscIdeServerArgs: {}, // for example, to change the port { port: 4088 }
  58   pscIdeColors: false, // defaults to true if psc === 'psa'
  59   pscPackage: false,
  60   bundleOutput: 'output/bundle.js',
  61   bundleNamespace: 'PS',
  62   bundle: false,
  63   warnings: true,
  64   output: 'output',
  65   src: [
  66     path.join('src', '**', '*.purs'),
  67     // if pscPackage = false
  68     path.join('bower_components', 'purescript-*', 'src', '**', '*.purs')
  69     // if pscPackage = true
  70     // source paths reported by `psc-package sources`
  71   ]
  72 }
  73 ```
  74
  75 ### `psc-ide` support (experimental)
  76
  77 Experimental support for instant rebuilds using `psc-ide-server` can be enabled
  78 via the `pscIde: true` option.
  79 You can use an already running `psc-ide-server` instance by specifying the port in `pscIdeArgs`,
  80 if there is no server running this loader will start one for you.
  81
  82
  83 #### Slower webpack startup after using purs-loader ?
  84
  85 By default, the psc-ide-server will be passed the globs from query.src, this is
  86 helpful for other tools using psc-ide-server (for example IDE plugins), however
  87 it might result in a slower initial webpack startup time (rebuilds are not
  88 affected). To override the default behaviour, add:
  89 `pscIdeServerArgs: { "_": ['your/*globs/here'] }` to the loader config
  90
  91 ### `psc-package` support (experimental)
  92
  93 Set `pscPackage` query parameter to `true` to enable `psc-package` support. The `psc-package`-supplied source paths
  94 will be appended to `src` parameter.
