PureScript npm package

PureScript binary wrapper that makes it seamlessly available via npm

Installation

Use npm.

npm install purescript

Note that this package makes maximum use of postinstall script, so please make sure that ignore-scripts npm-config is not enabled before installation.

Once the command above is executed,

1. First, it checks if a PureScript binary has been already cached in your machine, and restores that if available.

2. The second plan: if no cache is available, it downloads a prebuilt binary from the PureScript release page.

3. The last resort: if no prebuilt binary is provided for your platform or the downloaded binary doesn't work correctly, it downloads the PureScript source code and compile it with Stack.

API

Type: string

execFile(purs, ['compile', 'input.purs', '--output', 'output.purs'], () => {
  console.log('Compiled.');
});

You can use it via CLI by installing it globally.
