How to run Yesod interactively in GHCi (Haskell)

#haskell
#interactive
#ghci
#yesod

After scaffolding your Yesod app:

ghci -XTemplateHaskell -XTypeFamilies -XDeriveDataTypeable -XOverloadedStrings -XGADTs -XMultiParamTypeClasses -XQuasiQuotes -XCPP Import.hs

That will load all the exports from Import.hs, allowing you to examine your data types and try out stuff interactively in the REPL. You may then want to load some additional modules:

:l Model
:l Application
#haskell
#interactive
#ghci
#yesod

What if we are using a cabal sandbox? I get a bunch of "Could not find module" errors.

Answering my own question. -- Use "cabal repl" -- However, it is possible to continue using ghci following the information in: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12546757/how-do-i-use-cabals-min-version-and-other-macros-with-ghci/12546758#12546758
