PureScript API

Very basic web service which wraps the PureScript compiler.

Client code

API

Compile PureScript code

POST /compile

• Request body: PureScript code
• Response body: Either { js: "..." } or { error: "..." }
• Status code: 200 (success)

The response does not use error codes, to make it easier to use the API from another domain using CORS.

The output code will contain references to preloaded modules using require calls. To run these files in the browser, it is necessary to either use a require shim (such as require1k), or replace these calls and deploy a bundle of precompiled modules (the Try PureScript client uses the second approach).

Configuration

The application takes the following arguments on the command line:

• port number
• a list of input source files

Example

dist/build/trypurescript/trypurescript 8081 'bower_components/purescript-*/src/**/*.purs'
