Haskell Scotty Spike

Try to get a minimum useful REST service from Scotty

Get Ready

1. You need stack installed: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack
2. Clone this repo
3. You might need the right GHC. From the project dir: stack setup
4. The build will try to create the mysql library, for that you need mysql_config, on Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
5. Also, right now you need a local mysql DB with a non-password-protected root account and a database called 'test'. Sorry. Fixing it shortly.

Run It

From the project dir: stack exec haskell-scotty-spike-exe

Feel Its Power!
