# hakyll-nix-template

[![Github Actions](https://github.com/kutyel/kutyel-hakyll/actions/workflows/main.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/kutyel/kutyel-hakyll/actions/workflows/main.yml)

[Hakyll](https://jaspervdj.be/hakyll/) + [Nix](https://nixos.org) template

## Features

- Build your site into the `./result/dist` folder:
```
λ nix build
```
- Start hakyll's dev server that reloads when changes are made:
```
λ nix run . watch
Listening on http://127.0.0.1:8000
...more logs
```
- Run any hakyll command through `nix run .`!
```
λ nix run . clean
Removing dist...
Removing ssg/_cache...
Removing ssg/_tmp...
```
- Start a development environment that

- has your shell environment
- has `hakyll-site` (for building/watching/cleaning hakyll projects)
- has `hakyll-init` (for generating new projects)
- can have anything else you put in the `shell.buildInputs` of the
`hakyllProject` in `flake.nix`
- is set up to run `ghci` with some defaults and the modules loaded so you can
make your own changes and test them out in the ghci REPL

```
λ nix develop

[hakyll-nix]λ hakyll-site build
...
Success

[hakyll-nix]λ ghci
...
[1 of 1] Compiling Main ( ssg/src/Main.hs, interpreted )

### hakyll

All of this is custmomizable, and here are some things that are already done for
you:

- [pandoc](https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/) markdown customization to make it as
close to GitHub's markdown style as possible
- [`slugger`](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/slugger) module is included that makes nice link URIs based on post titles
- RSS & Atom XML feed generation
- Sitemap generation
- Code syntax highlighting customization
- ...other reasonable defaults

Configure the dev server, cache & tmp directories, and more in
`./ssg/src/Main.hs`.

### Deployment

Deployment is set up through a [GitHub
Action](https://github.com/features/actions) with [cachix](https://cachix.org),
and it deploys to a [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/) branch,
`gh-pages`, when you merge code into your main branch.

Setup information can be found below in the "Cachix" section.

Note: If your main branch's name isn't `main`, ensure `'refs/heads/main'` gets
updated to `'refs/heads/my-main-branch'` in `./github/workflows/main.yml`.

## Setup

### Nix & Flakes

If you don't have [nix](https://nixos.org), follow [the nix installation
instructions](https://nixos.org/download.html).

Once you have nix installed, follow the instructions here to get access to
flakes: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes.

### Cachix

The `./.github/workflows/main.yml` file builds with help from
[cachix](https://app.cachix.org), so you'll need to generate a signing key to be
able to do this.

1. Create a cache on cachix for your project
1. Follow cachix's instructions to generate a signing keypair
1. Copy the signing keypair value to a new `CACHIX_SIGNING_KEY` secret on
https://github.com/settings/secrets
