This repository contains a preconfigured Haskell development environment, allowing you to start coding in Haskell with zero installation using Gitpod and a browser-based version of VS Code.

The environment contains a skeleton for a simple Haskell project, designed as a starter for the solo project of EMURGO Academy's Haskell course.

1. Fork this repository
2. Copy the link to your new repository and prefix it with "https://gitpod.io/#" in your browser
3. Click Continue with GitHub and Authorize gitpod-io
4. Wait for the environment to build. This can take a while the first time.
5. Select "VS Code Browser" as your editor.

This template contains a basic structure for a simple Haskell project. Add your project code to the empty *.hs files:

• src/Lib.hs: this module is intended to contain the core business logic of your program - it should consist of pure functions (not IO actions). You can rename this or create additional modules as needed (be sure to adjust the other-modules section of emurgo-project.cabal to reflect any changes/additions)
• src/Types.hs: use this module to define any custom types and synonyms that you'll use in other modules
• src/Actions.hs: this module should contain helper IO actions that will be used inside the main action of app/Main.hs. Most of your effectful code should live in this module.
• app/Main.hs: compose a minimal main action using helper actions defined in src/Actions.hs to run your application (this is what will be used if you )

Add any additional packages you need for your project below base in the build-depends section of emurgo-project.cabal. Follow instructions if you encounter any errors due to a "hidden package": these refer to packages that are part of the standard library but aren't imported into a Haskell project by default. The editor tooling will identify the name of the package you need to add to build-depends in such cases.

Use cabal repl in the terminal and the :l command followed by a specific module name (Lib, Types, Actions, etc.) to test your code.

Use cabal run to run your completed program.

As you complete the assignments, stage, commit and push your changes to Github using the Source Control tab in the left panel.
