Haskell Web Framework

问题:

I'm creating simple web application using haskell. First I used Snap in front and I was able to run the application, but I want to add user input to the application.
I couldn't find a way to get user input parameters to the function. How might I do that?

Other thing, I also used Happstack framework, I can not import "Happstack.Server". I use cabal installation configure Happstack. It was successfully installed, but when I try to import to "Happstack.Server", it gives me an error:

<no location info>:
Could not find module `Happstack.Server':
  it is not a module in the current program, or in any known package.

If I run my program using ghc --make HelloWorld.hs -v, I get:

Snap's getParam function allows you to get HTTP request parameters specified by the user. These can come in the post body of a form submission or from the query string. For example, consider the following code:

site = dir "mypage" pageHandler
pageHandler = do
    val <- getParam "foo"
    writeBS $ maybe "no value" id val

If I request the url "myapp.com/mypage?foo=bar", then I will see "bar" as the response. If I leave off the "?foo=bar" part, then it will return "no value".

1) Check out that Happstack is actually installed and exposed:

ghc-pkg list | grep Happstack

2) What if you try to import Happstack.Server in ghci ?

3) Better use cabal-dev or capri for installing such things and making a sandbox

4) Snap and Yesod a quite new and they are under heavy development, Happstack is pretty stable and solid.

5) What OS are you using? How did your installed the haskell? Ubuntu + haskell 6.12 + Happstack work out of the box

Regarding to the log, seems that cabal packages are messed up somehow. I recommend you to remove all packages from the .cabal and .ghc, reinstall cabal, then install cabal-dev as explained here:

http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/f3ykj/psa_use_cabaldev_to_solve_dependency_problems/

and then have fun with Happstack. Some guys actually use capri, it works as well.

Your installation is messed up. Unfortunately, cabal does that sometimes.

Your best bet is use 'ghc-pkg unregister ' to remove all the happstack packages, hslogger, and sendfile. Make sure they are removed from the user and global package databases. (ghc-pkg list will show you what is installed). Once you have the old versions removed, do, cabal update and the cabal install happstack. Then things should work.

What do you mean by 'user input' ? Do you mean html forms? Or something else ?

This section of the crash course may address your needs:

It is also possible to use digestive-functors with Happstack to get type-safe form processing. Unfortunately, this is not well documented yet. Though I believe the disgestive-functors source code does include a working Happstack example.
