Got it! Do you have a sample JSON file for testing? |
|
Eh, sure:
but I hope that sol/hackage-jsonp#3 gets applied soon, then you can test it with the real deal. |
|
Will this include API search eventually? What I mean is the ability to search individual functions/datatypes/typeclasses by name or, maybe even, by type -- not only package names. For example like in http://www.haskell.org/hoogle/ or http://holumbus.fh-wedel.de/hayoo/hayoo.html ? |
|
Not this web service – but if you want API search, then just use the hayoo spice..? |
|
Ok, the service is live, so from my side this pull request can be merged and deployed. |

@nomeata I think it would be better if the plugin would let users search in a case-insensitive way. The plugin that you submitted doesn't trigger with But it triggers with Maybe instead of calling one JSON, we could call two JSONs. If you take a look at the Twitter plugin, you'd see that different sub-plugins can function as one. I was thinking along the lines of making a sub-plugin that calls spice to => 'http://typeful.net/~tbot/hackage/latest-package-versions.jsonp';Why? Well, because it has a record of all the packages (I think). Your ...
root.hackagePackageVersionsCallback = function(packages) {
// Remove the trigger word.
var query = DDG.get_query().replace(/(^|\s)(hackage|haskell)($|\s)/, '');
// Convert multiple spaces into a single one.
query = query.replace(/[ ]+/, ' ');
// Remove trailing / leading spaces.
query = query.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/, '');
// Convert to lowercase.
query = query.toLowerCase();
var hasOwn = ({}).hasOwnProperty;
var all_packages = {};
// Key gets the lowercase, and the value gets the unmodified string.
for(var normal_case in packages) {
if(hasOwn.call(packages, normal_case)) {
all_packages[normal_case.toLowerCase()] = normal_case;
}
}
// If the query exists in the dictionary, call Hackage::PackageDetails.
if(all_packages[query.toLowerCase()]) {
nrj("/js/spice/hackage/package_details/" + all_packages[query.toLowerCase()]);
}
};
root.hackageDataCallback = function(re) { ... };If you look closely, you'd see a function called spice to => 'http://www.typeful.net/~tbot/hackage/packages/$1/$1.jsonp';To summarize the relationship between the two plugins:

Sounds feasible. Can we still get this version live first, or is this a hard requirement? I’m very much more motivated to work on code that is in use than code that just sits in a pull request. |
|
@nomeata It's not really a hard requirement, but people might not actually see the ZCI because the person might have entered the wrong case. I'll make a few modifications first before it can go live. |
|
What do you think of this? It was modeled after Hayoo! Should be live in a few days. 👍 Thanks for contributing! |
|
Cool, thanks! I would not worry too much about cases, despite the first few entries on the list, the large majority of packages have lowercase-only names. |
|
No problem! |
|
What’s the status of this? When will be live? |
|
Hi @nomeata. There's just a bit of a problem loading the JSON. https://jagtalon.duckduckgo.com/js/spice/hackage/package_details/GoogleChart shouldn't redirect, to http://typeful.net/~tbot/hackage/packages/GoogleChart/GoogleChart.json. We're trying to fix that. |
|
@nomeata Got it. Turns out that www.typeful.net redirects to typeful.net. |

Great, thanks! |
This is a code preview, the data source is not yet online (waiting for sol/hackage-jsonp#3). Then, this gives a nice short overview about the hackage package of the given name.
BTW, is there a way to avoid the „more at ...“ link and format that part directly?
