Auto generate hie-bios cradles & hie.yaml.

Auto generate a stack or cabal multi component hie.yaml file

implicit-hie

cd your-stack-or-cabal-package
stack install implicit-hie # or cabal install implicit-hie
gen-hie > hie.yaml

gen-hie should be run the root of a cabal or stack project. The config type (cabal or stack) is determined by the existence of dist-newstyle, .stack-work, stack.yaml, if none are found the default is cabal. You can use --cabal, or --stack options to override config type.

Cabal Multi project example

❯ git clone https://github.com/well-typed/optics.git
❯ cd optics
❯ gen-hie
cradle:
  cabal:
    - path: "indexed-profunctors/src"
      component: "lib:indexed-profunctors"

    - path: "optics-th/src"
      component: "lib:optics-th"

    - path: "optics-th/tests"
      component: "optics-th:test:optics-th-tests"

    - path: "optics-vl/src"
      component: "lib:optics-vl"

    - path: "codegen/./Subtypes.hs"
      component: "optics-codegen:exe:optics-codegen-subtypes"

    - path: "optics-core/src"
      component: "lib:optics-core"

    - path: "optics-sop/src"
      component: "lib:optics-sop"

    - path: "optics-extra/src"
      component: "lib:optics-extra"

    - path: "template-haskell-optics/src"
      component: "lib:template-haskell-optics"

    - path: "optics/src"
      component: "lib:optics"

    - path: "optics/tests"
      component: "optics:test:optics-tests"

    - path: "metametapost/src/Cli.hs"
      component: "metametapost:exe:metametapost-optics"

Features

All common Cabal and Stack configurations should just work. If you use more advanced features, the generated config may not be complete.

• [x] multi component cabal, stack projects
• [x] multiple executables under a single path
• [x] multiple paths provided to hs-source-dirs
• [x] lookup nested packages in cabal.project or stack.yaml
• [x] Handle Exe and Bench other-modules
• [ ] common stanzas
