{-| This library only exports a single `dhallToNix` function for translating a
    Dhall syntax tree to a Nix syntax tree for the @hnix@ library

    See the @dhall@ package if you would like to transform Dhall source code
    into a Dhall syntax tree.  Similarly, see the @hnix@ package if you would
    like to translate a Nix syntax tree into Nix source code.

    This package also provides a @dhall-to-nix@ executable which you can use to
    compile Dhall source code directly to Nix source code for your convenience.

    Any Dhall expression can be converted into an equivalent Nix expression.
    For example, Dhall records can be converted into Nix records:

> $ dhall-to-nix <<< "{ foo = 1, bar = True }"
> { bar = true; foo = 1; }

    ... and you can also convert Dhall functions to Nix functions, too:

> $ dhall-to-nix <<< "λ(x : Bool) → x == False"
> x: x == false

    Many Dhall expressions have a straightforward translation to Nix expressions
    but there are some translations that are not as obvious.  The following
    section documents these trickier conversions:

    First, all Dhall types translate to an empty record:

> $ dhall-to-nix <<< "Integer"
> {}

    Polymorphic Dhall functions translate to Nix functions that ignore their
    type argument:

> $ dhall-to-nix <<< "List/head"
> t: xs: if xs == []
>       then null
>       else builtins.head xs

    `Optional` values translate to @null@ if missing or the unwrapped value if
    present:

> $ dhall-to-nix <<< "None Natural"
> null

> $ dhall-to-nix <<< "Some 1"
> 1

    Unions are Church-encoded:

> $ dhall-to-nix <<< "< Left : Bool | Right : Natural >.Left True"
> { Left, Right }: Left true

    Also, all Dhall expressions are normalized before translation to Nix:

> $ dhall-to-nix <<< "True == False"
> false

    You can use the @dhall-to-nix@ executable within Nix to assemble Nix
    expressions from Dhall expressions using the following @dhallToNix@ utility
    function:

> dhallToNix = code :
>   let
>     file = builtins.toFile "dhall-expr" code;
>
>     drv = pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
>       name = "dhall-expr-as-nix";
>
>       buildCommand = ''
>         dhall-to-nix <<< "${file}" > $out
>       '';
>
>       buildInputs = [ pkgs.haskellPackages.dhall-nix ];
>     };
>   in
>     import "${drv}";

$_ERROR: Cannot reference shadowed variable

Explanation: Whenever you introduce two variables of the same name, the latter
variable takes precedence:


                                  This ❰x❱ ...
                                  ⇩
    ┌───────────────────────────────┐
    │ λ(x : Text) → λ(x : Text) → x │
    └───────────────────────────────┘
                      ⇧
                      ... refers to this ❰x❱


The former variable is "shadowed":


    ┌───────────────────────────────┐
    │ λ(x : Text) → λ(x : Text) → x │
    └───────────────────────────────┘
        ⇧
        This ❰x❱ is shadowed


... and Dhall lets you reference shadowed variables using the ❰@❱ notation:


                                  This ❰x❱ ...
                                  ⇩
    ┌─────────────────────────────────┐
    │ λ(x : Text) → λ(x : Text) → x@1 │
    └─────────────────────────────────┘
        ⇧
        ... now refers to this ❰x❱


However, the Nix language does not let you reference shadowed variables and
there is nothing analogous to ❰@❱ in Nix

Your code contains the following expression:

↳ $txt

... which references a shadowed variable and therefore cannot be translated to
Nix
|]
      where
        txt = Dhall.Core.pretty v

    show CannotProjectByType =
        Data.Text.unpack [NeatInterpolation.text|
$_ERROR: Cannot project by type

The ❰dhall-to-nix❱ compiler does not support projecting out a subset of a record
by the expected type (i.e. ❰someRecord.(someType)❱ 
    |]

    show CannotShowConstructor =
        Data.Text.unpack [NeatInterpolation.text|
$_ERROR: Cannot translate the ❰showConstructor❱ keyword

The ❰dhall-to-nix❱ compiler does not support the ❰showConstructor❱ keyword.

In theory this keyword shouldn't need to be translated anyway since the keyword
doesn't survive β-normalization, so if you see this error message there might be
an internal error in ❰dhall-to-nix❱ that you should report.
