Provide a Hoogle app output #71
Description
It’s ostensibly easy to get Hoogle working with Nix – in stacklock2nix, just devShellArgsModifier = args: args // {withHoogle = true;} will get you a working server … however, it’s always more of a pain to get rid of the final annoyances than I like. E.g., the default dev shell’s Hoogle won’t have access to your local packages.
I‘d like to be able to do
nix run .#hoogleand have my full pkgSet available. I was also thinking the app should specifically run hoogle server, since the tests & db generation would already be handled by the existing Nix Haskell infrastructure. However, it’s probably also useful for searching (again, since the hoogle in the default shell won’t have access to the local packages), so maybe it should be nix run .#hoogle -- server.
All I should have to do to get that is add the following to my flake.nix outputs:
apps.hoogle = pkgs.my-haskell-stacklock.hoogleApp;I.e., I should be able to remove devShellArgsModifier = args: args // {withHoogle = true;}.
