About:
Spago is the official build tool and package manager for PureScript, a strongly-typed functional programming language that compiles to JavaScript. It handles dependency management, project compilation, and test execution, streamlining the workflow for building robust web applications.
Key Features:
  • Dependency management using Spago Registry
  • Project scaffolding and compilation
  • Integrated test runner
  • Monorepo support
  • Native FFI support management
Use Cases:
  • Initializing and building new PureScript projects
  • Managing library dependencies for functional web apps
  • Running unit tests within a CI/CD pipeline
Alternatives:
  • psc-package – psc-package is an older, simpler package manager, while Spago offers a more comprehensive toolset including build orchestration.
  • npm – npm manages JavaScript dependencies; Spago manages PureScript source dependencies and orchestrates the PureScript compiler.
