dhall-bash 1.0.16

This repository has moved to https://github.com/dhall-lang/dhall-haskell/tree/master/dhall-bash

This dhall-bash package provides a Dhall to Bash compiler so that you can easily marshall Dhall values into your Bash scripts

This does not compile all available Dhall language constructs into Bash and only supports extracting primitive values, lists, optional values and records from normalized expressions.

Quick start

If you have Nix installed, then you can build and install this package using:

$ nix-env -iA dhall-bash -f release.nix
$ dhall-to-bash <<< '1'
1
$ dhall-to-bash <<< '"ABC" ++ "DEF"'
ABCDEF
$ dhall-to-bash --declare FOO <<< '"ABC" ++ "DEF"'
declare -r FOO=ABCDEF
$ eval $(dhall-to-bash --declare FOO <<< '"ABC" ++ "DEF"')
$ echo "${FOO}"
ABCDEF
$ dhall-to-bash --declare BAR
let replicate = https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmcTbCdS21pCxXysTzEiucDuwwLWbLUWNSKwkJVfwpy2zK/Prelude/List/replicate
in  replicate +10 Integer 1
<Ctrl-D>
declare -r -a BAR=(1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1)
$ dhall-to-bash --declare BAZ <<< '{ qux = 1, xyzzy = True }'
declare -r -A BAZ=([qux]=1 [xyzzy]=true)

Development status

I don't expect this library to change unless:

• ... the Dhall language changes, which is possible but not very likely
• ... there are bugs, which is unlikely given how simple the implementation is
