1. Description

Spacemacs layer for ReasonML, based around reason-mode.

1.1. Features:

  • Syntax highlighting / indentation
  • Autocomplete (via merlin)
  • Lint / error display (via merlin, and flycheck if syntax-checking layer is enabled)
  • REPL via rtop
  • Auto-formatting (via refmt)

2. Install

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add reasonml to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

This layer depends on the `ocaml` layer which should be installed automatically.

2.1. Merlin

You'll need merlin (binaries ocamlmerlin and ocamlmerlin-reason) installed on your system and on your PATH for errors and auto-completion.

If you're familiar with opam you can

opam install merlin reason

to get ocamlmerlin and ocamlmerlin-reason on your current opam switch.

2.2. Refmt

Similarly to Merlin, you'll need the refmt binary on your path.

If you're familiar with opam you can

opam install reason

to get refmt in your current opam switch.

If your project depends on a specific version of refmt, you can set refmt-command (via customize-mode or (setq refmt-command ..)) to the path to a particular binary. You can also use the special values 'npm or 'opam to run refmt via npx or opam exec, which will keep you on the correct version for your current opam switch, or the project-local of node_modules.

You can toggle refmt on save with SPC m r t. To permanently enable it, add the layer variable:

(reasonml :variables reason-auto-refmt t)

in your dotspacemacs-configuration-layers.

3. Key bindings
