Changes Header, ReqBody and QueryParam to take a modifier list.
Resolves https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/issues/856
ResponseHeader story turns to be somewhat ugly, but it can be made
elegant when https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/issues/841 is
implemnted, then we can omit HList aka Header Heterogenous List
implementation.
- servant-server changes:
Writing server side intepretations is quite simple using
`unfoldRequestArgument`, which makes Header and QueryParam look quite
the same.
`ReqBody` cannot be easily made optional with current design (what that
would mean: No Content-Type Header?), so that dimensions isn't used
there.
- Add HasLink for all the rest ComprehensiveAPI combinators
- Add 'tricky' Header', QueryParam' endpoints to ComprehensiveAPI
- servant-docs: Quick'n'dirty implementation. Don't use modifiers information (yet).
The changelog for `servant` contains changes across core packages,
as we release them as a suite.
Also added links to the GitHub master as we might update entries
for old versions, as changelogs are written by humans.
- Add build-tool-depends, so new-build can use hspec-discover
- Add mtl bounds in tutorial (and dependency on mtl-compact)
- Add extra-source-files to tutorial, so it's buildable from sdist
We allow a user-specified type to represent the foreign type of haskell
types encountered in the API. This lets users map Integer, Date etc. to
representations other than Text, and have those representations
available in the returned list of Req.
For example, we might want to map a type which has an instance of
Generic to both a foreign type name and a class declaration for that
foreign type such that it can encode/decode itself to JSON. The previous
limitation to a single Text output prevented this case.
