Try PureScript is an online PureScript code editor for quickly experimenting with PureScript code snippets and ideas.

• Create a bower.json/psc-package.json file with all the dependencies you want to be available for the library backend and optionally an extra Try module if you want. Example PR
• Write an example in a github gist and name it Main.purs. Example Gist
• add a backend button and a backend option in index.html and index.js respectively. Example PR
  • Note to link the gist from the previous bullet in the mainGist field in index.js
• Ask phil to update the core main gist to link to the new backend

• Writing code using the Ace Editor
• Automatic compilation
• PureScript syntax highlighting
• Run and print output or show resulting JavaScript
• Multiple view modes: code, output or both
• Persistent session
• Load PureScript code from Github Gists
• Save PureScript code as anonymous Github Gists
  • (Note: These Gists are not associated with your GitHub account and are visible to anyone with a link to them)

Most of these features can be controlled not only from the toolbar, but also using the query parameters:

• Load From Gist: Load PureScript code from Gist id using the gist parameter

  • Example: gist=37c3c97f47a43f20c548 will load the code from this Gist if the file was named Main.purs

• View Mode: Control the view mode using the view parameter

  • Options are: code, output, both
  • Example: view=output will only display the output

• Backend: Control which backend will compile your code using the backend parameter

  • Options are: core, thermite, slides, flare, mathbox, behavior
  • Example: backend=thermite will use the thermite backend

• Auto Compile: Automatic compilation can be turned off using the compile parameter

  • Options are: true, false
  • Example: compile=false will turn auto compilation off

• JavaScript Code Generation: Print the resulting JavaScript code in the output window instead of the output of the program using the js parameter

  • Options are: true, false
  • Example: js=true will print JavaScript code instead of the program's output

• Session: Load code from a session which is stored with localStorage using the session parameter

  • Usually managed by Try PureScript
  • Example: session=9162f098-070f-4053-60ea-eba47021450d (Note: will probably not work for you)
  • When used with the gist query parameter the code will be loaded from the Gist and not the session
