Yet another prelude library

calico-hs

Quick links: documentation

An experimental prelude library.

Using this prelude

There are two ways to do this.

As a library: suitable for executables

You can build this as an ordinary library using Cabal:

git clone https://github.com/Rufflewind/calico-hs
cd calico-hs
cabal install

Afterwards, all you have to do is to

import Calico

and you'll get everything and the kitchen sink.

This approach is suitable for writing executables and rapid development/prototyping. It will bring in a lot of dependencies, however.

By embedding: suitable for libraries

Assuming you're already inside your project directory, run

git submodule add https://github.com/Rufflewind/calico-hs calico

and then append calico to hs-source-dirs in the .cabal file. Then create your customized prelude module that imports the modules that you care about. Be sure to include the relevant modules in other-modules of the .cabal file as well.

This approach is suitable for writing libraries as it gives you more flexibility in the choice of dependencies.
