Syntax Highlighting and Indentation for Haskell and Cabal
=========================================================

I was unhappy with the Haskell scripts that are
shipped with vim, therefore I decided to make my
own based on [idris-vim][].

I hope you find this useful.

## Features

* Covers a broader spectrum of keywords
* Highlighting for new features like type families, pattern synonyms, arrow syntax, recursive do, role annotations, QuasiQuotation
* More contextual highlighting (e.g. highlight 'as' or 'family' only in appropriate places)
* Smarter indentation
* Better Cabal support

## Installation

I recommend using [Pathogen][] for installation. Simply clone
this repo into your `~/.vim/bundle` directory and you are ready to go.

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/neovimhaskell/haskell-vim.git

Be sure that the following lines are in your
`.vimrc`

syntax on
filetype plugin indent on

### Manual Installation

Copy content into your `~/.vim` directory.

## Configuration

### Features

To enable the features you would like to use, just add the according line to your
`.vimrc`.

```viml
let g:haskell_enable_quantification = 1 " to enable highlighting of `forall`
let g:haskell_enable_recursivedo = 1 " to enable highlighting of `mdo` and `rec`
let g:haskell_enable_arrowsyntax = 1 " to enable highlighting of `proc`
let g:haskell_enable_pattern_synonyms = 1 " to enable highlighting of `pattern`
let g:haskell_enable_typeroles = 1 " to enable highlighting of type roles
let g:haskell_enable_static_pointers = 1 " to enable highlighting of `static`
let g:haskell_backpack = 1 " to enable highlighting of backpack keywords
```

### Highlighting

`haskell-vim` has an opinionated highlighting. If you do not like that you can switch to
a more traditional mode by setting `g:haskell_classic_highlighting` to `1`.

Disabling Template Haskell and Quasiquoting syntax is possible by setting
`g:haskell_disable_TH` to `1`.

### Indentation

To configure indentation in `haskell-vim` you can use the following variables to change indentation depth, just add the according line to your `.vimrc`.

If you dislike how indentation works you can disable it by setting `g:haskell_indent_disable` to
`1`.

Additionally you can use the
[vim-hindent](https://github.com/alx741/vim-hindent) plugin to achieve automatic
indentation using *hindent*.

#### Haskell

* `let g:haskell_indent_if = 3`

if bool
>>>then ...
>>>else ...

* `let g:haskell_indent_case = 2`

case xs of
>>[] -> ...
>>(y:ys) -> ...

* `let g:haskell_indent_let = 4`

let x = 0 in
>>>>x

* `let g:haskell_indent_where = 6`

where f :: Int -> Int
>>>>>>f x = x

* `let g:haskell_indent_before_where = 2`

foo
>>where

* `let g:haskell_indent_after_bare_where = 2`

where
>>foo

* `let g:haskell_indent_do = 3`

do x <- a
>>>y <- b

* `let g:haskell_indent_in = 1`

let x = 1
>in x

* `let g:haskell_indent_guard = 2`

f x y
>>|

`haskell-vim` also supports an alterative style for `case` indentation.

* `let g:haskell_indent_case_alternative = 1`

f xs ys = case xs of
>>[] -> ...
>>(y:ys) -> ...

#### Cabal

* `let g:cabal_indent_section = 2` (limited to max. 4 spaces)
