Starting

Now that you have a working project you should use the Yesod book to learn more.

You can also use this scaffolded site to explore some concepts, and best practices.

• This page was generated by the getHomeR handler in Handler/Home.hs.
• The getHomeR handler is set to generate your site's home screen in the Routes file config/routes.yesodroutes
• We can link to other handlers, like the Profile. Try it out as an anonymous user and see the access denied. Then, try to login with the dummy authentication added while in development.
• The HTML you are seeing now is actually composed by a number of widgets, most of them are brought together by the defaultLayout function which is defined in the Foundation.hs module, and used by getHomeR. All the files for templates and widgets are in templates.
• A Widget's Html, Css and Javascript are separated in three files with the .hamlet, .lucius and .julius extensions.
• If you had javascript enabled then you wouldn't be seeing this.

Forms

This is an example of a form. Read the Forms chapter in the yesod book to learn more about them.

JSON

Yesod has JSON support baked-in. The form below makes an AJAX request with Javascript, then updates the page with your submission. (see Handler/Comment.hs, templates/homepage.julius, and Handler/Home.hs for the implementation).

Testing

And last but not least, Testing. In test/Spec.hs you will find a test suite that performs tests on this page.

You can run your tests by doing: stack test
