Using blaze to reverse engineer an HTML page

In this recipe, we will use a package blaze-from-html to reverse engineer an existing HTML page, to create Haskell code that uses blaze-html.

How to do it...

1. Install blaze-from-html using stack. Here we use the resolver lts-9.1. Feel free to use the latest or your favorite resolver:

        stack --resolver lts-9.1 install blaze-from-html

2. Check the location of the tool using stack:

        stack path --local-bin

3. Use curl to download the home page from haskell.org (http://www.haskell.org/):

       curl -X GET http://www.haskell.org -o index.html

4. Use blaze-from-html to engineer the blaze DSL from the HTML page:

        blaze-from-html -v html5 -s index.html > index.hs
