Readme for hiedb-0.7.0.0
[back to package description]HIE DB - A tool to index and query .hie files
Compiling
Prerequisites
- Recent version of GHC 8.8/HEAD which includes support for .hie files
- cabal >= 2.4.1.0
Procedure
$ cabal install hiedb
Usage
Generating .hie files
Compile any package with ghc options -fwrite-ide-info and optionally,
-hiedir <dir>. This will generate .hie files and save them in <dir>
Indexing
$ hiedb -D <db-loc> index <hiedir>
You can omit <db-loc>, in which case it will default to the environment variable
HIEDB, or if that is not defined, $XDG_DATA_DIR/default_$DBVERSION.hiedb
Querying
- Looking up references for a name(value/data constructor):
$ hiedb -D <db-loc> name-refs <NAME> [MODULE] - Looking up references for a type:
$ hiedb -D <db-loc> type-refs <NAME> [MODULE]
MODULE is the module the name was originaly defined in.
- Looking up references for a symbol at a particular location:
$ hiedb -D -<db-loc> point-refs (-f|--hiefile HIEFILE) SLINE SCOL [ELINE] [ECOL] $ hiedb -D -<db-loc> point-refs MODULE [-u|--unit-id UNITID] SLINE SCOL [ELINE] [ECOL]
You can either lookup references for a Module that is already indexed, or lookup references for a point in a .hie file directly, which will be (re)indexed.
