IHP – modern batteries-included Haskell web framework, built on top of Haskell and Nix

IHP is a modern batteries-included Haskell web framework, built on top of Haskell and Nix.

Setup of the fully-managed dev environment takes just 5 minutes. All dependencies (even database and compiler) are managed using the nix package manager.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

  • High quality type system:
    • High Velocity.
    • Functional software design.
  • Instant Live Reloading. The refresh uses a diff-based patch approach to avoid resetting the page state. This means: changes are reflected instantly.
  • HSX – write HTML code in your Haskell files. This will be transformed to actual type-checked Haskell code at compile time. In HSX common errors like having a typo in an HTML attribute name or missing a closing tag will show you a compile-time error.
  • Web-based Schema Designer – a full set of web based dev tools. Including a database schema designer. The visual tools are very much inspired by SmallTalk. When you start an IHP app, the first thing you see is the data structures.
  • Security – common security vulnerabilities like XSS or SQL-Injection are mitigated with Haskell’s powerful type system.
  • Promotes the use of plain SQL over higher-level abstractions on the persistance layer. Instead of fighting complex Data Mapper ORMs, IHP provides simple database access functions that have a clear and direct mapping to the anderlying SQL statements. IHP uses your SQL definitions to provide type-safe query builders.
  • Full set of web based dev tools. Including a database schema designer, a web-based code generator, a web-based repl, and much more.
  • IHP Auto Refresh.
