Documentation
data ModuleName
A valid Haskell module name.
fromString :: String -> ModuleName
Construct a ModuleName from a valid module name String.
This is just a convenience function intended for valid module strings. It is
an error if it is used with a string that is not a valid module name. If you
are parsing user input then use simpleParse instead.
components :: ModuleName -> [String]
The individual components of a hierarchical module name. For example
components (fromString "A.B.C") = ["A", "B", "C"]
toFilePath :: ModuleName -> FilePath
Convert a module name to a file path, but without any file extension. For example:
toFilePath (fromString "A.B.C") = "A/B/C"
main :: ModuleName
The module name Main.
simple :: String -> ModuleName
Deprecated: use ModuleName.fromString instead
