loli :: Unit -> Application
- It's recommended to use your own html combinator / template engine, loli's template system is for completeness rather then usefulness... The author has removed the section on view from this readme. Examples can still be found in
src/Test/Test.hs. Try DIY with, e.g. moe. The template code will stay for, say, a few years, but will eventually fade away. - Example view using custom html combinator (moe in this case)
- When inspecting the request, use
askdefined inReaderTmonad to get theHack.Environment, then use helper method defined inHack.Contrib.Requestto query it. Responseis inStateT,htmlandtextare simply helper methods that update the state, i.e. setting the response body, content-type, etc.- You do need to understand monad transformers to reach the full power of
loli. - For mac users, use
GHC 6.12.1if you have trouble running the server.
