Input
:: Type a | The type of value to decode from Dhall to Haskell |
-> Text | The Dhall program |
-> IO a | The decoded value in Haskell |
Type-check and evaluate a Dhall program, decoding the result into Haskell
The first argument determines the type of value that you decode:
>>>
input integer "2"
2>>>
input (vector double) "[1.0, 2.0]"
[1.0,2.0]
Use auto
to automatically select which type to decode based on the
inferred return type:
>>>
input auto "True" :: IO Bool
True
:: Type a | The type of value to decode from Dhall to Haskell |
-> Context (Expr Src X) | The starting context for type-checking |
-> Normalizer X | |
-> Text | The Dhall program |
-> IO a | The decoded value in Haskell |
Extend input
with a custom typing context and normalization process.

Use this to provide more detailed error messages
> input auto "True" :: IO Integer *** Exception: Error: Expression doesn't match annotation True : Integer (input):1:1
> detailed (input auto "True") :: IO Integer *** Exception: Error: Expression doesn't match annotation Explanation: You can annotate an expression with its type or kind using the ❰:❱ symbol, like this: ┌───────┐ │ x : t │ ❰x❱ is an expression and ❰t❱ is the annotated type or kind of ❰x❱ └───────┘ The type checker verifies that the expression's type or kind matches the provided annotation For example, all of the following are valid annotations that the type checker accepts: ┌─────────────┐ │ 1 : Integer │ ❰1❱ is an expression that has type ❰Integer❱, so the type └─────────────┘ checker accepts the annotation ┌────────────────────────┐ │ Natural/even +2 : Bool │ ❰Natural/even +2❱ has type ❰Bool❱, so the type └────────────────────────┘ checker accepts the annotation ┌────────────────────┐ │ List : Type → Type │ ❰List❱ is an expression that has kind ❰Type → Type❱, └────────────────────┘ so the type checker accepts the annotation ┌──────────────────┐ │ List Text : Type │ ❰List Text❱ is an expression that has kind ❰Type❱, so └──────────────────┘ the type checker accepts the annotation However, the following annotations are not valid and the type checker will reject them: ┌──────────┐ │ 1 : Text │ The type checker rejects this because ❰1❱ does not have type └──────────┘ ❰Text❱ ┌─────────────┐ │ List : Type │ ❰List❱ does not have kind ❰Type❱ └─────────────┘ You or the interpreter annotated this expression: ↳ True ... with this type or kind: ↳ Integer ... but the inferred type or kind of the expression is actually: ↳ Bool Some common reasons why you might get this error: ● The Haskell Dhall interpreter implicitly inserts a top-level annotation matching the expected type For example, if you run the following Haskell code: ┌───────────────────────────────┐ │ >>> input auto "1" :: IO Text │ └───────────────────────────────┘ ... then the interpreter will actually type check the following annotated expression: ┌──────────┐ │ 1 : Text │ └──────────┘ ... and then type-checking will fail ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── True : Integer (input):1:1
Types
A (Type a)
represents a way to marshal a value of type 'a'
from Dhall
into Haskell
You can produce Type
s either explicitly:
example :: Type (Vector Text) example = vector text
... or implicitly using auto
:
example :: Type (Vector Text) example = auto
You can consume Type
s using the input
function:
input :: Type a -> Text -> IO a
An (InputType a)
represents a way to marshal a value of type 'a'
from
Haskell into Dhall
class Interpret a where Source #
Any value that implements Interpret
can be automatically decoded based on
the inferred return type of input
>>>
input auto "[1, 2, 3]" :: IO (Vector Integer)
[1,2,3]
This class auto-generates a default implementation for records that
implement Generic
. This does not auto-generate an instance for recursive
types.

genericAuto :: (Generic a, GenericInterpret (Rep a)) => Type a Source #
genericAuto
is the default implementation for auto
if you derive
Interpret
. The difference is that you can use genericAuto
without
having to explicitly provide an Interpret
instance for a type as long as
the type derives Generic
data InterpretOptions Source #
Use these options to tweak how Dhall derives a generic implementation of
Interpret

Default interpret options, which you can tweak or override, like this:

This class is used by Interpret
instance for functions:
instance (Inject a, Interpret b) => Interpret (a -> b)
You can convert Dhall functions with "simple" inputs (i.e. instances of this class) into Haskell functions. This works by:
- Marshaling the input to the Haskell function into a Dhall expression (i.e.
x :: Expr Src X
) - Applying the Dhall function (i.e.
f :: Expr Src X
) to the Dhall input (i.e.App f x
) - Normalizing the syntax tree (i.e.
normalize (App f x)
) - Marshaling the resulting Dhall expression back into a Haskell value

Miscellaneous

=> Type a | The type of value to decode from Dhall to Haskell |
-> Expr s X | a closed form Dhall program, which evaluates to the expected type |
-> f a | The decoded value in Haskell |
Use this function to extract Haskell values directly from Dhall AST.
The intended use case is to allow easy extraction of Dhall values for
making the function normalizeWith
easier to use.
For other use cases, use input
from Dhall
module. It will give you
a much better user experience.
