How to link to a static file in Hamlet?
hamlet, haskell, static-files, yesod
Solution
The solution for me was to add
import Yesod.Static
at the top of the file, and
staticFiles "static"
before the handler function declaration, rather than inside of it.
Problem
I looked at a previous question that sounds like it’s the same question, but it seems to skip over a part that I must be missing. I added the `import Settings.StaticFiles` line at the top of the handler file. I copied a file called `chunk.png` into the `static` folder of the yesod project. However, no matter what I try, I always get: Not in scope: 'chunk_png' I’ve tried adding `staticSite "static"` or `$(staticSite "static")` before the whamlet, but to no avail. Here’s the full code: ``` module Handler.Foo where import Import import Data.List import Settings.StaticFiles getFooR :: Int -> Int -> Handler Html getFooR param1 param2 = do staticSite "static" defaultLayout [whamlet| <img src=@{StaticR chunk_png}> |] ``` I’ve also tried `staticFiles "static"` (instead of `staticSite`) but that gives me the error: Not in scope: 'staticFiles' Perhaps you meant 'staticSite' (imported from Settings.StaticFiles) There is an entry for `/static StaticR Static getStatic` in `config/routes`. Any ideas?
