Initial sketch of main function support

Sketch on resolving #33. Initial thoughts?

Thanks!

Thanks for taking a look. I am still experimenting with this, but it seems useful to pass in the module to the main in order to allow the entry to invoke "accept" when HMR for webpack is enabled. I didn't immediately see a way to do this strictly in an FFI function. I am open to ideas though!

Why does this call the function with module? Isn't module.exports.${main} an Eff?

To clarify, here is the example entry I was working with:

Example.purs

module Example (Module, example) where

import Prelude (Unit, (>>=), bind, unit, void)

import Control.Monad.Eff (Eff)
import Control.Monad.Eff.Console (CONSOLE, log)

import DOM.Node.Types (Element)
import DOM (DOM)

import React (createElement)
import ReactDOM (render, renderToString)

import Example.App (app)

example :: forall eff. Module -> Eff (dom :: DOM, console :: CONSOLE | eff) Unit
example module_ = do
  let appEl = createElement app unit []

  if isServerSide
     then void (log (renderToString appEl))
     else void (getElementById "app" >>= render appEl)

  hot module_

foreign import isServerSide :: Boolean

foreign import getElementById :: forall eff. String -> Eff eff Element

foreign import hot :: forall eff. Module -> Eff eff Unit

foreign import data Module :: *

Example.js

'use strict';

exports.isServerSide = typeof document === 'undefined';

exports.getElementById = function(id) {
  return function(){
    return document.getElementById(id);
  };
};

exports.hot = function(module) {
  return function(){
    if (module.hot) {
      module.hot.accept();
    }
  };
}

webpack.config.js

...
{ test: /\.purs$/
, loader: 'purs-loader'
, query: { src: [ 'bower_components/purescript-*/src/**/*.purs', 'src/**/*.purs' ]
          ...
          , mainModule: { Example: 'example' }
          }
}
