This is a tool for collecting github data to feed the Haskell Tools website backend. In the folder frontend there is also a Elm frontend to present the data.

First make sure you have the requirements to build:

• PostgreSQL (with libpq develeopment files)
• Stack - to build the data collector.
• PostgREST - to run the REST api server.

Then follow the steps:

1. First setup the database (the double and single-quotes sequence is not a typo)

   psql -v password="'password_for_postgrest_user'" postgres < db/haskell-tools.sql

2. Compile the data collector

   stack setup stack build

3. Now to collect some data from Github repos use the command haskell-tools-load replacing DBUSER, DBPASS and DBHOST for the approprite values for the target database:

   stack exec haskell-tools-load "postgres://DBUSER:DBPAS@DBHOST/haskell_tools"

4. Start the API server using the password from step 1:

   postgrest postgres://postgrest:password_for_postgrest_user@localhost/haskell_tools -a anonymous

This will open the API server in the port 3000. Having done this the frontend is compiled to connect on localhost:3000 by default, so compiling the elm application and opening it in a browser should work.
