<h1 id="compile">Compile</h1>
<p>Use Cabal to compile and install; ./configure uses Cabal underneath, and that
path is not yet well tested. Thrift&#8217;s library and generated code should compile
with pretty much any GHC extensions or warnings you enable (or disable).
Please report this not being the case as a bug on
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa</p>
<p>Chances you&#8217;ll need to muck a bit with Cabal flags to install Thrift:</p>
<p>CABAL_CONFIGURE_FLAGS=&#8221;&#8211;user&#8221; ./configure</p>
<h1 id="base-types">Base Types</h1>
<p>The mapping from Thrift types to Haskell&#8217;s is:</p>
<ul>
<li>double -&gt; Double</li>
<li>byte -&gt; Data.Int.Int8</li>
<li>i16 -&gt; Data.Int.Int16</li>
<li>i32 -&gt; Data.Int.Int32</li>
<li>i64 -&gt; Data.Int.Int64</li>
<li>string -&gt; Text</li>
<li>binary -&gt; Data.ByteString.Lazy</li>
<li>bool -&gt; Boolean</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="enums">Enums</h1>
<p>Become Haskell &#8216;data&#8217; types. Use fromEnum to get out the int value.</p>
<h1 id="lists">Lists</h1>
<p>Become Data.Vector.Vector from the vector package.</p>
<h1 id="maps-and-sets">Maps and Sets</h1>
<p>Become Data.HashMap.Strict.Map and Data.HashSet.Set from the
unordered-containers package.</p>
<h1 id="structs">Structs</h1>
<p>Become records. Field labels are ugly, of the form f_STRUCTNAME_FIELDNAME. All
fields are Maybe types.</p>
<h1 id="exceptions">Exceptions</h1>
<p>Identical to structs. Use them with throw and catch from Control.Exception.</p>
<h1 id="client">Client</h1>
<p>Just a bunch of functions. You may have to import a bunch of client files to
deal with inheritance.</p>
<h1 id="interface">Interface</h1>
<p>You should only have to import the last one in the chain of inheritors. To make
an interface, declare a label:</p>
<p>data MyIface = MyIface</p>
<p>and then declare it an instance of each iface class, starting with the superest
class and proceeding down (all the while defining the methods). Then pass your
label to process as the handler.</p>
<h1 id="processor">Processor</h1>
<p>Just a function that takes a handler label, protocols. It calls the
superclasses process if there is a superclass.</p>
<h1 id="releasing-to-hackage">Releasing to Hackage</h1>
<p>Using the <a href="../../build/docker/README.md">Docker Container for Ubuntu Bionic</a>, run:</p>
<pre><code>root@e941f5311545:/thrift/src# ./bootstrap.sh &amp;&amp; ./configure
root@e941f5311545:/thrift/src# cd lib/hs &amp;&amp; make dist-local
</code></pre>
<p>This will produce a <code>lib/hs/dist/thrift-&lt;version&gt;.tar.gz</code> file. Take this
file and upload it as a Haskell Hackage
<a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/upload#candidates">package candidate</a> and
check to make sure all the information is correct. Assuming all is satisfactory,
you can upload the package as official using the link at the top of the page.</p>
