Learn purescript-halogen, (v5.0.0-rc.5) from a bottom-up approach

Requirements

Before learning Halogen via this project, you will need to install the following. (If you don't have them already installed, see my purescript learning repo's Install Guide

• purescript (v0.13.6)
• spago (v0.14.0)
• parcel (v1.12.4)

Or, to install them in one line

npm i -g [email protected] [email protected] parcel

Or, instead of install globally, install relatively to this project

npm i

If you choose this approach, all aftermentioned commond like spago ... and parcel ... shall be prefix with npm run. e.g.

• npm run spago bundle-app -m ...
• npm run parcel serve ...

Target Audience

Required: You are already familiar with...

• PureScript's "Basic" syntax. (If not, see my Basic Syntax overview)

• "smart constructors." (If not, read my explanation on Smart Constructors)
