> [PureScript](http://www.purescript.org) loader for [webpack](http://webpack.github.io)
+- Supports hot-reloading and rebuilding of single source files
+- Dead code elimination using the `bundle` option
+- Colorized build output using `purescript-psa` and the `psc: "psa"` option
+
## Install
-Install with [npm](https://npmjs.org/package/purs-loader)
+Install with [npm](https://npmjs.org/package/purs-loader).
```
+// For PureScript 0.11 and newer
npm install purs-loader --save-dev
-```
-
-## Options
-###### `noPrelude` (Boolean)
+// For PureScript 0.9 and 0.10
+npm install purs-loader@purescript-0.9 --save-dev
-Toggles `--no-prelude` that omits the Prelude.
-
-###### `noTco` (Boolean)
-
-Toggles `--no-tco` that disables tail-call optimizations.
+// For PureScript 0.8
+npm install purs-loader@purescript-0.8 --save-dev
+```
-###### `noMagicDo` (Boolean)
+## Example
-Toggles `--no-magic-do` that disables optimizations overloading the do keyword generating efficient code for the `Eff` monad.
+```javascript
+const webpackConfig = {
+ // ...
+ loaders: [
+ // ...
+ {
+ test: /\.purs$/,
+ loader: 'purs-loader',
+ exclude: /node_modules/,
+ query: {
+ psc: 'psa',
+ src: ['bower_components/purescript-*/src/**/*.purs', 'src/**/*.purs']
+ }
+ }
+ // ...
+ ]
+ // ...
+}
+```
-###### `noOpts` (Boolean)
+Refer to the [purescript-webpack-example](https://github.com/ethul/purescript-webpack-example) for a more detailed example.
+
+### Options
+
+Default options:
+
+```javascript
+const loaderConfig = {
+ psc: null, // purs compile
+ pscArgs: {},
+ pscBundle: null, // purs bundle
+ pscBundleArgs: {},
+ pscIde: false, // instant rebuilds using psc-ide-server (experimental)
+ pscIdeClient: null, // purs ide client
+ pscIdeClientArgs: {}, // for example, to use different port {port: 4088}
+ pscIdeServer: null, // purs ide server
+ pscIdeServerArgs: {}, // for example, to change the port {port: 4088}
+ pscIdeRebuildArgs: {} // for example, for sourcemaps {codegen: ['js', 'sourcemaps']}
+ pscIdeColors: false, // defaults to true if psc === 'psa'
+ pscPackage: false, // include dependencies from psc-package
+ spago: false, // include dependencies from spago
+ bundleOutput: 'output/bundle.js',
+ bundleNamespace: 'PS',
+ bundle: false,
+ warnings: true,
+ watch: false, // indicates if webpack is in watch mode
+ output: 'output',
+ src: [
+ path.join('src', '**', '*.purs'),
+ // if pscPackage = true
+ // source paths reported by `psc-package sources`
+ // if spago = true
+ // source paths reported by `spago sources`
+ // if pscPackage = false and spago = false
+ path.join('bower_components', 'purescript-*', 'src', '**', '*.purs')
+ ]
+}
+```
-Toggles `--no-opts` that skips the optimization phase.
+### `psc-ide` support (experimental)
-###### `verboseErrors` (Boolean)
+Experimental support for instant rebuilds using `psc-ide-server` can be enabled
+via the `pscIde: true` option.
+You can use an already running `psc-ide-server` instance by specifying the port in `pscIdeArgs`,
+if there is no server running this loader will start one for you.
-Toggles `--verbose-errors` that displays verbose error messages.
+### `psc-package` support (experimental)
-###### `comments` (Boolean)
+Set `pscPackage` query parameter to `true` to enable `psc-package` support. The `psc-package`-supplied source paths
+will be appended to `src` parameter.
-Toggles `--comments` that includes comments in generated code.
+### `spago` support (experimental)
-###### `output` (String)
+Set `spago` query parameter to `true` to enable `spago` support. The `spago`-supplied source paths
+will be appended to `src` parameter.
-Sets `--output=<string>` the specifies the output directory, `output` by default.
+### Troubleshooting
-###### `noPrefix` (Boolean)
+#### Slower webpack startup after enabling psc-ide support?
-Toggles `--no-prefix` that does not include the comment header.
+By default, the psc-ide-server will be passed the globs from query.src, this is
+helpful for other tools using psc-ide-server (for example IDE plugins), however
+it might result in a slower initial webpack startup time (rebuilds are not
+affected). To override the default behaviour, add:
+`pscIdeServerArgs: { "_": ['your/*globs/here'] }` to the loader config
-###### `src` (String Array)
+#### Errors not being displayed in watch mode?
-Specifies PureScript source paths to be globbed for `.purs` files. By default, `bower_components` is search. Additional paths may be specified using this option. This option is specified as `src[]=path`.
+When the `watch` option is set to `true`, psc errors are appended to
+webpack's compilation instance errors array and not passed back as an
+error to the loader's callback. This may result in the error not being
+reported by webpack. To display errors, the following plugin may be added
+to the webpack config.
-## Example
+```javascript
+const webpackConfig = {
+ // ...
+ plugins: [
+ function(){
+ this.plugin('done', function(stats){
+ process.stderr.write(stats.toString('errors-only'));
+ });
+ }
+ ]
+ // ...
+}
+```
-See the [example](https://github.com/ethul/purs-loader/tree/master/example) directory for a complete example.
+#### Error `spawn ENOENT`
+
+This is caused when the loader tries to spawn a binary that does not exists
+(`file or directory not found`). If you call webpack like `webpack` or
+`webpack --watch`, then ensure that all required binaries that the
+loader depends on are available in your `$PATH`.
+
+If you run webpack through an npm script (e.g., npm run or npm start) on NixOS,
+then it will first attempt to find binaries in `node_packages/.bin`.
+If you have the compiler installed through `npm` and it finds it there, this will
+cause `ENOENT`on Nix, because [the binary needs to be patched first, but npm will
+install the binary that is linked with /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 - a file that
+will not exist at that path in NixOS](https://github.com/ethul/purescript-webpack-example/issues/5#issuecomment-282492131).
+The solution is to simply use the compiler from `haskellPackages.purescript` and
+make sure that it's available in `$PATH`. For more information about how to make
+it work on Nix, see [Purescript Webpack Example](https://github.com/ethul/purescript-webpack-example#using-globally-installed-binaries)
