HaskRead

HaskRead is a web-based blogging application designed to facilitate hands-on learning with the Scotty Web-Framework. This application allows users to experience the simplicity and power of Scotty alongside other technologies like Blaze-html for templating and PostgreSQL for database management.

Technologies Used

• Scotty: A lightweight web framework for Haskell, inspired by Ruby's Sinatra.
• Blaze-html: A library for Haskell that provides an HTML templating engine.
• PostgreSQL: An open-source relational database system.

Features

1. User Authentication using JWT.
2. CRUD on POST.
3. Nested Comments.

Getting Started

To get HaskRead up and running on your local machine, follow these simple steps:

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Git
• Cabal
• PostgreSQL

Installation

1. Clone the repository

   Open your terminal and clone the Scotty-Crud repository using Git:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/HaskRead.git
   

   Navigate into the project directory:

   cd HaskRead
   

2. Set up the database

   Make sure PostgreSQL is running. Create a new database for the project and note down the credentials; you'll need to configure these in the code.
