## Installation

```
git clone https://github.com/kokobd/cabal-hoogle.git
cd cabal-hoogle
cabal install exe:cabal-hoogle
```

## Usage

### Generate
Within your project, run:

```
cabal-hoogle generate
```

This generates a hoogle database for all the local packages and their dependencies.

You may specify targets, like below:
```
cabal-hoogle generate exe:haskell-language-server hls-code-range-plugin
```
See [Cabal Docs](https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/3.8/cabal-commands.html#target-forms) for target syntax

### Run Hoogle

With `cabal-hoogle run --`, extra arguments are passed directly to `hoogle`.

You may start an http server like this:
```
cabal-hoogle run -- server --local --port 9000
```

Or directly search in command line like this:
```
cabal-hoogle run -- search catMaybes
```
