This repository contains a number of Docker files to build images for ghcjs, libraries to use with ghjcs (e.g. canvas or virtual-dom) and an auto-recompiling development environment. I'm trying to combine the best of javascript (fast feedback on changes to a browser UI) with the best of haskell (mistake-proofing through type safety, a great set of libraries, and wonderful testing tools such as quickcheck).
This repository is experimental, have fun at your own risk.
On your host machine:
cabal install shake
./build.sh
This takes a while, and will build the full chain of images, based on the standard haskell:7.8 docker image.
on a ubuntu host, in your projects' directory, run
docker run -it -v $(pwd):/home/curry/app atddio/ghcjs-sample-devenv
Download from dockerhub and run in one go
docker run -i -t atddio/docker-ghcjs
For compiling against a directory on the host machine, run it with -v, see Docker volumes for instructions.
docker build .
Head over to ghcjs for the latest official version of the Dockerfile to build ghcjs.
This repository is used to experiment with docker files for ghcjs, the haskell to javascript compiler ghcjs, as minimal as possible against the latest ghcjs, built from the ghjcs installation instructions. Based on standard haskell:7.8 container with alex and happy.
You can use this container to play around with ghcjs, or use it as a source to build a more specific image in a FROM chain. Unlike https://github.com/rvl/ghcjs-docker, which uses git submodules I chose to download the relevant ghcjs git repositories in the Docker file, so whenever you run docker build you can get the latest versions. As long as the installation instructions don't change this should work.
That repository, on the upside, has a normal user instead of the root user. So far, for building things I haven't found much of an upside for adding a regular users. for running a service perhaps. YMMV.
Suggestions and pull requests welcome. Happy hacking!
