- <longdescription>
- @text-show@ offers a replacement for the @Show@ typeclass intended
- for use with @Text@ instead of @String@s. This package was created
- in the spirit of
- @&lt;http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bytestring-show bytestring-show&gt;@.
-
- At the moment, @text-show@ provides instances for most data
- types in the @&lt;http://hackage.haskell.org/package/array array&gt;@,
- @&lt;http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base base&gt;@,
- @&lt;http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bytestring bytestring&gt;@, and
- @&lt;http://hackage.haskell.org/package/text text&gt;@ packages.
- Therefore, much of the source code for @text-show@ consists of
- borrowed code from those packages in order to ensure that the
- behaviors of @Show@ and @TextShow@ coincide.
-
- For most uses, simply importing "TextShow"
- will suffice:
-
- @
- module Main where
-
- import TextShow
-
- main :: IO ()
- main = printT (Just \"Hello, World!\")
- @
-
- If you desire it, there are also monomorphic versions of the @showb@
- function available in the submodules of "TextShow". See the
- &lt;https://github.com/RyanGlScott/text-show/wiki/Naming-conventions naming conventions&gt;
- page for more information.
-
- Support for automatically deriving @TextShow@ instances can be found
- in the "TextShow.TH" and "TextShow.Generic" modules. If you don't
- know which one to use, use "TextShow.TH".
