Indented queries in Yesod
I'm not sure what have you already tried, but since this is practically a join (and persistent's type-safe API doesn't support them), running a custom SQL query should be the most efficient solution. If your model looks something like this EntityA key Text value Text deriving Show EntityB foreignKey EntityAId...
compile-time vs. run-time cost of Hamlet templates
It's been a while since I worked on the code, so don't take this as authoratative (like Daniel mentioned, -ddump-simpl is a good call here). But I don't believe we're using the blaze-html combinators, just the data type. Hamlet itself concatenates strings as much as possible at compile time to...
Send 301 redirect in Yesod
You can find an example in the test/YesodCoreTest/Redirect.hs file available in the current Yesod 1.4.9.1 archive: import qualified Network.HTTP.Types as H myR :: Handler Html myR = redirectWith H.status301 HomeR For a list of available response codes, see the Network.HTTP.Types documentation....
Which form to run?
So, I'd probably advise moving your counter ID into the URL, so you're doing something like POSTing to /counters/1/increment or something. Feels slightly off to have the ID in a hidden field. However, if you did want to keep it in a hidden field, you can have the form take...
Yesod, getting name-value map, containing HTML form values
You can use runRequestBody to get direct access to all of the POST parameters and files.
Cabal build failure on ReadArgs when deploying to OpenShift
It turns out this was a bug in the cartridge and is fixed now.
How can I store request-local information in Yesod middleware and retrieve it from a Handler?
You can use cached and cachedBy for per-request caching.
What does the `import Some.Module as Import` in Yesod mean?
In the Haskell language report exporting a module is described as: The form “module M” names the set of all entities that are in scope with both an unqualified name “e” and a qualified name “M.e”. This set may be empty. §5.2 Export Lists An export list identifies the entities...
Using JS-variable in Yesod handler's code
No, there's no way to do that. The yesod code runs server side, and the JavaScript client side. The only way to achieve that kind if thing is to have the JavaScript send values back to the server.
Post and Get a variable using yesod server
Using global constants is trivial in Haskell: you just write foo = bla somewhere (preferrably with a signature foo :: FooType). foo can then be used anywhere in your module (or even outside, if you export it). Global variables OTOH aren't really possible in Haskell, as such. For the most...
SVG tags in hamlet shakespearean (yesod/haskell) templates?

Automatically declaration yesod handlers using Template Haskell
haskell,yesod,template-haskell
EDIT: Simple type signature parameterization example added I think there is a problem with function name binding in your mkDeleteHandler. I would try something like this for example (example simplified): mkHandler :: String -> String -> Q [Dec] mkHandler typeName funcName = do funDecl <- [d| funcName :: String ->...
Is there a way to pass a Hamlet block as an argument to a function?
No, such syntax does not exist.
In yesod (haskell), how do I load a plain html-formatted file (not a hamlet) as a widget?
haskell,yesod,shakespeare-text
For this you use sendFile in your handler function (see its definition) The first argument is the Mime Type while the second is the file path. For example, you could code something like: getMyFileR :: Handler () getMyFileR = sendFile "text/html" "myfile.html" Here’s Another example. Say I have the following...
How can I run Yesod's DB actions in the REPL?
If you're using the Yesod scaffolding, the handler and db functions are provided to let you run handler actions and database queries, respectively, from the repl: $ cabal repl db $ selectList [UserName ==. "foo"] [] Edit: I've also updated Yesod's wiki page on GHCi with this information. It includes...
Coercing types in Persistent
As you probably already know, one of Haskell's strengths is strong typing. The persistent-sqlite package takes this to an extreme (which, in my opinion, is a good thing) by requiring that table entries have their own data type. For instance, if you have a table which holds fruits that looks...
Reading the run mode in Yesod
In the newest versions of the scaffolding, we no longer have the concept of environments. Command line arguments can be used to switch which config files we read from, but that's it. If you'd like access to that information, you could use getArgs.
How to Read Contents of an Uploaded File
This is what I do: postSomethingR = do ((res, _), _) <- runFormPost form case res of FormSuccess (account, file) -> do bytes <- runResourceT $ fileSource file $$ sinkLbs -- Parse the ByteString in another thread parseHandler <- handlerToIO liftIO $ forkIO $ parseHandler $ do case CSV.parseCSV csvSettings...
Composite Primary Key in Yesod
haskell,yesod,template-haskell
I haven't actually used the composite primary key feature myself, but this error makes sense to me. There's not obvious serialization to Text for arbitrary composite keys, and so persistent doesn't generate it for you. If you'd like to use a MovieId inside your URLs, you'll need to manually define...
Different web server on one domain
You can use (a) and (b) behind a proxy (c) -- NGINX is my personal preferred server for that purpose because it is insanely fast and good on resources. http://nginx.org/en/docs/beginners_guide.html#proxy You'd do something like this: server { location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:{port for a}/; } location /wp { proxy_pass http://localhost:{port...
use runDB in a SubSite Yesod
You need to add the following constraint to the postDemoNewR declaration: YesodPersist master => YesodPersistBackend master ~ SqlBackend => … The first constraint tells master must have persistent abilities while the second constraint tells the backend used for persistent should be an SQL backend. You can find something similar in...
Error when starting Yesod app on openshift - command line args?
I'm assuming based on the question that you're using the standard scaffolding. If you look in the code, you'll find that uses loadAppSettingsArgs, which is described as: Same as loadAppSettings, but get the list of runtime config files from the command line arguments. If you don't want to pay attention...
Yesod and dynamic Bootstrap/jQuery form
The function you're looking for is runRequestBody: http://www.stackage.org/haddock/lts-2.7/yesod-core-1.4.9.1/Yesod-Core-Handler.html#v:runRequestBody
Put static files on “/” in Yesod
ms's comment is correct: you should put FooR before StaticR. In addition, you'll need to turn off overlap checking. The easiest way is probably to use parseRoutesFileNoCheck instead of parseRoutesFile (or parseRoutesNoCheck instead of parseRoutes if you're using the quasiquoter).
How can I create a foreign key constraint using Yesod/Persistent?
postgresql,migration,yesod,persistent
Persistent does not currently have any built-in support for triggers, though it's something we've been wanting to add (simply lacking manpower). For now, you'll have to add the trigger manually.
Where to store API keys and other 'secrets' in a yesod app
There are many approaches to this, mostly depending on what flavor of devops/hosting your prefer. One option is to put a dummy value in the config file and override it with an environment variable at runtime (see: https://github.com/yesodweb/yesod/wiki/Configuration#overriding-configuration-values-with-environment-variables). You can also having an extra settings file for production that overrides...
Kind mismatch in YesodPersist instance declaration
It looks like you originally wrote the code using Persistent 2, and are now using Persistent 1.3. On 1.3, you'd need something like type YesodPersistBackend App = SqlPersistT.
Is there a reference for the syntax of the persistent quasiquoter?
There's a Wiki page covering the syntax. The Gt and Desc is an old syntax that's no longer needed, I'll remove the references from the chapter (I thought I'd caught them all already).
Type mismatch using Yesod and Persistent
You need to use runDB around your persistent call.
In Yesod/Haskell, how do I use data from IO with the variable interpolation functionality?
When working with monad transformers, to convert from some monad m to a transformer t m, you have to use the lift function: lift :: (MonadTrans t, Monad m) => m a -> t m a This is actually the defining method of the MonadTrans typeclass, so the implementation is...
Yesod Mform and hamlet
I got it. I was not clear of what "tableMform extra" has to return. I know that it has to return something of type [(FormResult a, xml)][1] . But then I was not sure what the type of "forM lis ((w,h) -> mopt intField (fromString w) (Just h) )" --...
why is the cabal sandbox inited after installing yesod-bin?
Because it generally confuses people when they can't run yesod directly; installing the executables into ~/.cabal/bin means that the user can always access them. It does leak some information outside of the sandbox, but it's typically the right trade-off to take.
haskell - How to check one default radio in a radioFieldList in yesod
I presume you're using something like areq (radioField ...) "Some Name" Nothing right now. That Nothing value means "no default." To provide a default, replace it with (Just someDefault).

Haskell Yesod: How to read text from file and apply variable interpolation to its content?
haskell,markdown,interpolation,yesod
Well, finally I've found really simple solution. Any quasi quoter could be easily switched to file input rather than inline text with quoteFile function from Language.Haskell.TH.Quote module1. Let's describe in Foundation module following function: import Language.Haskell.TH.Quote (QuasiQuoter, quoteFile) import Text.Shakespeare.Text (st) stFile :: QuasiQuoter stFile = quoteFile st Now we...
Hosting a static site with Yesod

Yesod's shakespearean templates (hamlet) and IO
Hamlet is just providing an alternate syntax for normal Haskell code, so like normal Haskell, you have to keep your impure actions separate. In other words, you need to run the IO action outside of the template.
fromPathPiece has type ()

Is it possible to order a query by primary key?
I' wasn't sure about the SelectOpts only being applicable to entity value, so I checked that in a small snippet of code. Assuming an entity looks like this: EntityA key Text time UTCTime deriving Show you can just list SelectOpts you're interested in and get the desirable output. The sample...
How to include a comment in an inline yesod javascript template
templates,comments,yesod,shakespeare-text,julius
If you're asking specifically about Julius templates, the answer is that there isn't any built-in commenting syntax, and therefore the only option is JavaScript style comments. However, as you've mentioned, this can conflict with the CPP language extension. One option to work around this is to put the template in...
Couldn't match type Data.Enumerator.Internal.Iteratee with IO
Probably you are trying to run old code that does not work with current Yesod. You can get this to compile and run (ghc-7.10.1, yesod-1.4.1.5) with import Data.Enumerator (run_) ... bss <- run_ consume but I'm not sure what you want it to do. As is, it will return an...

How can I get a type safe route to a static dir (not a static file)?
In order to do that, you'll need to use the StaticRoute constructor directly. The identifier generation only generates identifiers for files, not directories, since that's normally what people want (as @zudov explains). You should be able to do something like: @{StaticR $ StaticRoute ["images"] []} ...
Yeson.json.object is applied to too many arguments
object is not in scope in prelude. Which package/module defines this? Yesod.Json Why doesn't it take the key-value pair in the above case? It takes the key value pair just fine. The error message is telling you that object gives you a Value, but you declared getHome to be...

How do you add logic into the following `myApp` haskell function?
myApp has this type: myApp :: Request -> (Response -> IO ResponseReceived) -> IO ResponseReceived so you can add your own IO action before returning the response like this: myApp _ respond = do putStrLn "processing request" respond $ responseLBS status200 [("Content-Type", "text/plain")] "Hello World" ...
How can I embed both Text and Widget in another Widget in Yesod?
I wouldn't go this route, specifically because of the type inference issue you already discovered. Explicitly having to call toWidget occasionally is probably the best compromise here.

how to break up the monolithic mkYesod block safely

You are correct, but that point is also addressed in the yesod book. For example have a look at http://www.yesodweb.com/book/scaffolding-and-the-site-template, the section called "Foundation and Application modules". Usually you have a Foundation module that defines route types and handler functions, and an Application module that defines the dispatching. So all...

Yesod: Stuck in book “Seven Web frameworks in seven weeks”

How to Use Group By and Sum in an Esqueleto Query
The from table parameters types are sometimes deduced from the result type which must be explicit. Other ambiguities arise about the monad type usually.

Is there a Yesod alternative to the Rails' `link_to foo, bar, method: “delete”?
