# Haskell + Nix with haskell-flake
Use [haskell-flake](https://github.com/srid/haskell-flake) — a flake-parts module. Start from [haskell-template](https://github.com/srid/haskell-template). Requires a `.cabal` or `cabal.project` file; haskell-flake scans for it automatically.
## Starting a new project
**You MUST use `git clone https://github.com/srid/haskell-template <project-dir>` to start a new project.** Do NOT fetch individual files, do NOT use `om init`, do NOT write flake.nix from scratch. Clone the template, then rename the package in `.cabal` and `nix/modules/flake/haskell.nix`.
## Project structure
Projects based on haskell-template use [nixos-unified](https://nixos-unified.org) autowiring. **Do NOT write Nix configuration inline in `flake.nix`.** The `flake.nix` delegates entirely to `nixos-unified`, and all Nix configuration goes in **`./nix/modules/flake/*.nix`** files.
