editor-open: Open the user's $VISUAL or $EDITOR for text input.

[ apache, library, program, text ] [ Propose Tags ] [ Report a vulnerability ]

You know when you run git commit, and an editor pops open so you can enter a commit message? This is a Haskell library that does that.

This library isn't very portable. It relies on the $EDITOR environment variable. The concept only exists on *nix systems.

CHANGES

0.6.0.0: Support less common $VISUAL. vi is the fallback editor now instead of nano.
0.5.0.0: Now use conduits on the backend. Support base<4.8

editor-open
===========

You know when you run `git commit`, and an editor pops open so you can enter a
commit message? This is a Haskell library that does that.

This library isn't very portable. It relies on the `$EDITOR` environment
variable. The concept only exists on *nix systems.

Installing
----------

If you're using this library, I assume you're familiar with the basic
infrastructure of Haskell programs. If not, check out bitemyapp's guide
to learning Haskell: <https://github.com/bitemyapp/learnhaskell>.

Just add `editor-open` to the `build-depends:` field in your project's `.cabal`
file.

Alternatively, you can just do a one-off installation with:

    cabal install editor-open
