Install with [npm](https://npmjs.org/package/purs-loader).
```
+// For PureScript 0.11 and newer
npm install purs-loader --save-dev
+
+// For PureScript 0.9 and 0.10
+npm install purs-loader@purescript-0.9 --save-dev
+
+// For PureScript 0.8
+npm install purs-loader@purescript-0.8 --save-dev
```
## Example
exclude: /node_modules/,
query: {
psc: 'psa',
- src: ['bower_components/purescript-*/src/**/*.purs', 'src/**/*.purs'],
- ffi: ['bower_components/purescript-*/src/**/*.js', 'src/**/*.js'],
+ src: ['bower_components/purescript-*/src/**/*.purs', 'src/**/*.purs']
}
}
// ...
}
```

### Options
Default options:
```javascript
-{
+const loaderConfig = {
psc: 'psc',
pscArgs: {},
pscBundle: 'psc-bundle',
pscBundleArgs: {},
pscIde: false, // instant rebuilds using psc-ide-server (experimental)
+ pscIdeArgs: {}, // for example, to use different psc-ide-server port: {port: 4088}
+ pscIdeServerArgs: {}, // for example, to change the port { port: 4088 }
pscIdeColors: false, // defaults to true if psc === 'psa'
+ pscPackage: false,
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 = false
path.join('bower_components', 'purescript-*', 'src', '**', '*.purs')
- ],
- ffi: [
- path.join('src', '**', '*.js'),
- path.join('bower_components', 'purescript-*', 'src', '**', '*.js')
- ],
+ // if pscPackage = true
+ // source paths reported by `psc-package sources`
+ ]
}
```
-### Instant rebuilds (experimental)
+### `psc-ide` support (experimental)
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.
+
+### `psc-package` support (experimental)
+
+Set `pscPackage` query parameter to `true` to enable `psc-package` support. The `psc-package`-supplied source paths
+will be appended to `src` parameter.
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+#### Slower webpack startup after enabling psc-ide support?
+
+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
+
+#### Errors not being displayed in watch mode?
+
+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.
+
+```javascript
+const webpackConfig = {
+ // ...
+ plugins: [
+ function(){
+ this.plugin('done', function(stats){
+ process.stderr.write(stats.toString('errors-only'));
+ });
+ }
+ ]
+ // ...
+}
+```
+
+#### 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)
