I find it bothersome to share the list of Haskell dependencies between my
default.nix and shell.nix files. A few days ago, I created a THIRD file,
shared.nix, that defined the shared code b/w default.nix and shell.nix. This
DRY'd things up, but it also added a new file, which I didn't like.
Today I learned that direnv integrates with Nix using a function called
`use_nix`. Voila! I typically already have .envrc files per-project, so this
doesn't add any unnecessary files, and it allows me to delete my shell.nix
files.
I would use `lorri`, except that I encountered issues using Lorri on my work
computer, which I'm not interested in attempting to resolve now.
Problem: The JSON that Nginx outputs cannot be successfully parsed by
journaldriver because Nginx prefixes it with "socrates nginx:". Adding
`nohostname` to `access_log` should solve this problem.
I borrow this from @tazjin's most recent definition of `commonHttpConfig`.
Interact with Stripe's payment_intents API endpoint.
I'm not committing the index.html that contains client-side code that interacts
with the /create-payment-intent endpoint, but it contains sensitive information,
so I'm omitting it for now.
TL;DR:
- Define POST /create-payment-intent endpoint
- Include envStripeAPIKey in Context record
- Define a top-level Stripe module for making API calls
- Define types and instances that align with Stripes request and response types
- Depend on the Req library: a higher-level library than http-client
Today @tazjin told me about Emacs's built-in project.el library, which he
recommended that I extend to support monorepo-specific tooling. It worked like a
charm!
Now when I press "<leader>f", it will resolve to either the nearest file named
default.nix or directory name .git.
Use Nix and Briefcase to easily create Haskell executables.
I'd eventually like to support something like: briefcase.buildHaskell.project
that let me define a few top-level values (e.g. ghcExtensions) and would give me
a ghci environment with the proper `.ghci` settings so that my development
environment mirrored my build environment... baby steps, though.
Per the assignment's instructions, the `Shift n` operation should treat
the *entire keyboard* like a cycle and shift that. I was erroneously
treating *each row* like a cycle and shifting those one-by-one.
This change fixes that. In addition, it also:
- Updates README.md with expected inputs and outputs
- Updates test suite
- Adds `split` dependency to {default,shell}.nix
TL;DR:
- include a default.nix to allow users to build an named executable
- emphasize in the README that the user needs Nix to build this project
- pin nixpkgs to a specific commit and fetch it from GitHub
Per my take-home assignment's reviewer's comments, with which for the record I
agree, I should generate the character->coordinate table from my existing qwerty
keyboard definition.
The best part is: by doing this I found a bug: Notice how the original '0'
character was mapped to the Coordinate (0,0)... thus every subsequent digit
key (i.e. the first row) is off-by-one.
After burning a few hours wrestling with the type system, I decided to revert to
the simpler `Server API` type instead of the `ServantT` transformer type.
The problem is that I couldn't write a MonadError instance for `RIO Context`,
which is my `AppM` (i.e. application monad). Using `throwIO` in the server
handlers results in 500 errors, which is not what I wanted. I'm still pretty
fuzzy about what's happening; I now know that exception handling in Haskell is
pretty gnaryly. I may revisit this at a later time when my knowledge is more
extensive. For now: time to fry bigger fish.
An easier abstract is for me to pass `T.Context` into `server` as an argument,
which after all is what a Reader does.
TL;DR:
- Read server, client ports from .envrc
- Define a top-level Failure type (empty for now)
- Define a top-level Success type
- Define App as RIO Context (Either Failure Success)
Long story -> short: I'd like to access my App monad from within my Servant
handlers.
While this code type-checks, I'm not sure it's working as intended. Needing to
change throwError to throwIO fails the "smell test". I expect to refactor this
code, but I'm calling it a night for now.
I believe RIO stands for: "ReaderT <something-something> IO", which is a nod to
the top-level application data type:
```haskell
-- This is a simplification
newtype RIO env a = RIO { runRIO :: ReaderT env a () }
```
I read about RIO from an FP-Complete blog post a few months ago, and now I'm
excited to try it out for a real project. Bon voyage!
As the previous commit mentions, I'm attempting to build and deploy this project
with `nix-shell` and `nix-build` instead of `cabal` and `stack`.
I'm in the Hamburg airport right now, and my internet connection isn't stable
enough to test this, so I'm committing it until I can more robustly test it.
I'd like to see if I can avoid using `cabal` and `stack` and build and deploy
this application using `nix-shell` and `nix-build` only. Let's see how that
goes.
The JWT should match "accounts.google.com" or "https://accounts.google.com". If
it doesn't, we produce a validation error.
TL;DR:
- Group all failed stringOrURI function calls as StringOrURIParseFailure errors
I'm attempting to be an obedient boy and implement this and future features
using TDD.
TL;DR:
- Defined a few tests
- Defined an empty GoogleSignIn module
- Defined a Fixtures module to quickly create JWTs to test
TL;DR:
- Add common dependencies like Servant, Aeson, Warp, Cors
- Define a POST /verify endpoint for our client to hit
- POST to /verify client-side onSignIn
Using Haskell's Text.ParserCombinators.ReadP library for the first time, and I
enjoyed it thoroughly! It's nice avoiding a third-party library like MegaParsec.
