# agda-kernel
An experimental Agda kernel for Jupyter.
Used at [Nextjournal](https://nextjournal.com/plfa/ToC) [[nextjournal kernel]](https://github.com/nextjournal/agda-kernel).

Examples
--------

You can launch the following examples directly via the mybinder interface:

- [example/LabImp.ipynb](https://github.com/lclem/agda-kernel/blob/master/example/LabImp.ipynb) [[binder]](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/lclem/agda-kernel/master?filepath=example/LabImp.ipynb).

Alternatively, if you have [binder](https://github.com/jupyterhub/binderhub),
then you can use [repo2docker](https://github.com/jupyter/repo2docker) locally:

repo2docker https://github.com/lclem/agda-kernel

Installation
------------

pip install agda_kernel
python -m agda_kernel.install

### Syntax highlighting

Syntax highlighting is done separately by [Codemirror](https://codemirror.net/),
but unfortunately there is no Agda mode packaged with it.
A rudimentary Agda mode for Codemirror can be found in ``codemirror-agda/agda.js``.
In order to install it, type

make codemirror-install

### Agda extension

In order to improve the Jupyter interface,
it is strongly recommended to also install [`agda-extension`](https://github.com/lclem/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions).

Functionality
-------------

Each code cell must contain a line of the form ``module A.B.C where``.
For instance:

```agda
module A.B.C where

id : {A : Set} → A → A
id x = x
```

Upon execution, the file `A/B/C.agda` is created containing the cell's contents,
and it is fed to the Agda interpreter (via `agda --interaction`).
The results of typechecking the cell are then displayed.

After a cell has been evaluated, one can

- Run Agsy (auto) by putting the cursor next to a goal `?` and hitting TAB.
The hole `?` is replaced by the result returned by Agsy, if any,
or by `{! !}` if no result was found.
If there is more than one result, the first ten of them are presented for the user to choose from.

- Refine the current goal by putting the cursor next to a goal `{! !}` and hitting TAB.
An optional variable can be provided for case-splitting `{! m !}`.

- Show information about the current context, goal, etc.: putting the cursor near a goal/literal and hit SHIFT-TAB.

Editing
-------

Inputting common UNICODE characters is facilitated by the code-completion feature of Jupyter.

- When the cursor is immediately to the right of one of the `base form` symbols
hitting TAB will replace it by the corresponding `alternate form`.
Hitting TAB again will go back to the base form.
