Haskell Quickstart Guide

The MinIO Haskell Client SDK provides simple APIs to access MinIO and any Amazon S3 compatible object storage.

This guide assumes that you have a working Haskell development environment.

Simply add minio-hs to your project’s .cabal dependencies section or if you are using hpack, to your package.yaml file as usual.

Download the library source and change to the extracted directory:

$ cabal get minio-hs
$ cd minio-hs-1.6.0/ # directory name could be different

Then load the ghci REPL environment with the library and browse the available APIs:

$ cabal repl
ghci> :browse Network.Minio

From your home folder or any non-haskell project directory, just run:

stack install minio-hs

Then start an interpreter session and browse the available APIs with:

$ stack ghci
> :browse Network.Minio

The examples folder contains many examples that you can try out and use to learn and to help with developing your own projects.

This example program connects to a MinIO object storage server, makes a bucket on the server and then uploads a file to the bucket.

We will use the MinIO server running at https://play.min.io in this example. Feel free to use this service for testing and development. Access credentials are present in the library and are open to the public.

Contributors Guide

$ git clone https://github.com/minio/minio-hs.git
$ cd minio-hs/

With cabal:

$ # Configure cabal for development enabling all optional flags defined by the package.
$ cabal configure --enable-tests --test-show-details=direct -fexamples -fdev -flive-test
$ cabal build

With stack:

$ stack build --test --no-run-tests --flag minio-hs:live-test --flag minio-hs:dev --flag minio-hs:examples

A section of the tests use the remote MinIO Play server at https://play.min.io by default. For library development, using this remote server maybe slow. To run the tests against a locally running MinIO live server at http://localhost:9000 with the credentials access_key=minio and secret_key=minio123, just set the environment MINIO_LOCAL to any value (and unset it to switch back to Play).

With cabal:

$ export MINIO_LOCAL=1 # to run live tests against local MinIO server
$ cabal test

With stack:

$ export MINIO_LOCAL=1 # to run live tests against local MinIO server
stack test --flag minio-hs:live-test --flag minio-hs:dev

This will run all the test suites.
