servant-dhall - Servant Dhall bindings

Note: accepting dhall expressions from untrusted sources is a security risk.

Example

Run example

cabal new-run example run

Get

% curl 'localhost:8000/get'

Type error: 
Error: ❰&&❱ only works on ❰Bool❱s

(input):1:1

Error case: Imports

As deserialisation is done in pure context type-checking Dhall expressions with imports is not possible.

% curl -D - -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/x-dhall' --data-raw 'http://example.com/dhall' 'localhost:8000/post'
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
