Overview of this book

Haskell is a purely functional language that has the great ability to develop large and difficult, but easily maintainable software. Haskell Cookbook provides recipes that start by illustrating the principles of functional programming in Haskell, and then gradually build up your expertise in creating industrial-strength programs to accomplish any goal. The book covers topics such as Functors, Applicatives, Monads, and Transformers. You will learn various ways to handle state in your application and explore advanced topics such as Generalized Algebraic Data Types, higher kind types, existential types, and type families. The book will discuss the association of lenses with type classes such as Functor, Foldable, and Traversable to help you manage deep data structures. With the help of the wide selection of examples in this book, you will be able to upgrade your Haskell programming skills and develop scalable software idiomatically.

Use blaze-html with Bootstrap to create HTML template

In this recipe, we will use Blaze HTML to create bootstrap based HTML. In this recipe, we will create a Navbar (which is actually one of the examples at http://getbootstrap.com).

How to do it...

Create a new folder blaze-html. We will not be creating a separate project. Instead, create a new file called index.hs file. Open the file and enable the extension OverloadedStrings for being able to use a generic string syntax for supporting text as well as ByteString:

        {-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

Add the necessary imports:

 import Prelude
 import qualified Prelude as P
 import Data.Monoid (mempty,(<>))

 import Text.Blaze.Html5 hiding (main)
 import...
