title: Nix and Haskell
date: 2018-09-20
---
The simplest way you can use haskell and nix together is by calling
`callCabal2nix` on the cabal file and using the resulting artifacts.
I usually create two files `release.nix` and `default.nix`. At least when
developing, I avoid using the `cabal2nix` tool and instead let nix handle
calling it for me. If I ever published an actual package, I would probably
provide the autogenerated `default.nix` and nothing else.
**Build instructions** are managed by `default.nix`. At its simplest it's just
a call to `callCabal2nix`, but might contain for example some extra cabal flags
or adding patches.
```nix
# default.nix
{ haskellPackages }:
haskellPackages.callCabal2nix "foo" ./. {}
```
**Pinning** of haskell packages and system libraries are managed by this file.
Nixpkgs requires a bootstrap `<nixpkgs>` in scope so that we can pin to a
specific commit hash.
```nix
# release.nix
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
# No pinning yet
pkgs.callPackage ./default.nix {}
```
