Hexagain

It's a website? I guess?

Deployed to https://hexagain.com.

Building the site

Most of the dependencies are enumerated in shell.nix, so you can do this to get a working copy of the website:

$ nix-shell
[nix-shell]$ hugo server

But the OCaml stuff is separate:

cd app/
opam switch import deps --assume-depexts --switch .
eval $(opam env --switch .)

The --assume-depexts is necessary because opam doesn't detect that things are installed if you install them with Nix, for some reason.

Wow! Everything worked and you got no errors! Great. No further questions. Let's get to work.

Note that every time you interact with this project, you will need to start with eval $(opam env) from the app/ subdirectory, or else everything will be bad. Unless you configured the auto-hook-switchy thing when you set up opam.

To rebuild the JavaScript, cd into the app/ subdirectory and run:

dune build --profile=production client/hexagain_client.bc.js

Or, in development:

dune build --watch client/hexagain_client.bc.js

Before committing, make sure you run:

dune build --auto-promote @fmt
dune runtest --auto-promote

There is a server but it's not really a thing that... works. Just ignore that for now.

I've been using this really janky one-liner to move the build artifact into the hugo assets directory (also from the app/ subdirectory):

while true; do if cmp -s _build/default/client/hexagain_client.bc.js ../assets/main.js; then : ; else echo update $(date); cp _build/default/client/hexagain_client.bc.js ../assets/main.js; fi; sleep 1; done

There's probably some real way to do this.
