Happy Haskell programming on Vim, powered by ghc-mod

• http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4473
• https://github.com/eagletmt/ghcmod-vim/releases

Features

• Displaying the type of sub-expressions (ghc-mod type)
• Displaying error/warning messages and their locations (ghc-mod check and ghc-mod lint)
• Displaying the expansion of splices (ghc-mod expand)
• Insert split function cases (ghc-mod split)

Completions are supported by another plugin. See neco-ghc .

Requirements

Vim

ghcmod.vim contains ftplugin. Please make sure that filetype plugin is enabled. To check it, type :filetype and you would see something like this: filetype detection:ON plugin:ON indent:ON. You can enable it by :filetype plugin on. I highly recommend adding filetype plugin indent on to your vimrc. See :help :filetype-overview for more details.

vimproc

https://github.com/Shougo/vimproc

ghc-mod >= 5.0.0

cabal install ghc-mod

Details

If you'd like to give GHC options, set g:ghcmod_ghc_options.

let g:ghcmod_ghc_options = ['-idir1', '-idir2']

Also, there's buffer-local version b:ghcmod_ghc_options.

autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile ~/.xmonad/* call s:add_xmonad_path()
function! s:add_xmonad_path()
  if !exists('b:ghcmod_ghc_options')
    let b:ghcmod_ghc_options = []
  endif
  call add(b:ghcmod_ghc_options, '-i' . expand('~/.xmonad/lib'))
endfunction

:GhcModType, :GhcModTypeClear

Type :GhcModType on a expression, then the sub-expression is highlighted and its type is echoed. If you type :GhcModType multiple times, the sub-expression changes.

1. 
2. 
3. 
4. 
5. 

Since ghc-mod 1.10.8, not only sub-expressions but name bindings and sub-patterns are supported.

• 
• 

Type :GhcModTypeClear to clear sub-expression's highlight.

Sub-expressions are highlighted as Search by default. You can customize it by setting g:ghcmod_type_highlight .

hi ghcmodType ctermbg=yellow
let g:ghcmod_type_highlight = 'ghcmodType'

:GhcModCheck, :GhcModLint

You can get compiler errors/warnings by :GhcModCheck and they are available in quickfix window.

Similarly, type :GhcModLint to get suggestions by ghc-mod lint.

If you'd like to pass options to hlint, set g:ghcmod_hlint_options.

let g:ghcmod_hlint_options = ['--ignore=Redundant $']

If you'd like to open in another way the quickfix, set g:ghcmod_open_quickfix_function.

let g:ghcmod_open_quickfix_function = 'GhcModQuickFix'
function! GhcModQuickFix()
  " for unite.vim and unite-quickfix
  :Unite -no-empty quickfix

  " for ctrlp
  ":CtrlPQuickfix

  " for FuzzyFinder
  ":FufQuickfix
endfunction

:GhcModCheckAsync, :GhcModLintAsync, :GhcModCheckAndLintAsync

You can run check and/or lint asynchronously.

This would be useful when you'd like to run check and/or lint automatically (especially on BufWritePost). See Customize wiki page for more detail.

:GhcModExpand

You can see the expansion of splices by :GhcModExpand and they are available in quickfix window.

This feature was introduced since ghc-mod 1.10.10.

GhcModSplitFunCase

Split the function case by examining a type's constructors.

f :: [a] -> a
f x = _body

When you type :GhcModSplitFunCase at the x position, ghcmod-vim will replace it with:

f :: [a] -> a
f [] = _body
f (x:xs) = _body

GhcModSigCodegen

Insert initial code from the given signature.

func :: [a] -> Maybe b -> (a -> b) -> (a,b)

ghcmod-vim will insert initial code using typed holes.

func x y z f = _func_body

Instance declarations are also supported.

newtype D = D (Int,String)

class C a where
    cInt :: a -> Int
    cString :: a -> String

instance C D where

ghcmod-vim will insert:

    cInt x = _cInt_body
    cString x = _cString_body
