2014-07-17 15:05:03     darthdeus       guys I'm getting  No instance for (Text.Julius.ToJavascript …Data.ByteString.Lazy.Internal.ByteString) when using aeson's encode ... how should I convert things to json so that I can interpolate them in julius?
2014-07-17 15:05:38     darthdeus       should i unpack the bytestring and pack it into Text? (seems inefficient)
2014-07-17 15:09:25     darthdeus       hmm seems lazy Text doesn't work either
2014-07-17 15:16:40     darthdeus       aaargh, string doesn't work either
2014-07-17 15:16:55     brisbin         String and Text should both be interpolatable
2014-07-17 15:17:10     darthdeus        No instance for (Text.Julius.ToJavascript String) …  arising from a use of ‘Text.Julius.toJavascript’
2014-07-17 15:17:18     darthdeus       after doing this
2014-07-17 15:17:25     darthdeus           let json = TL.unpack $ decodeUtf8 $ encode reports :: String
2014-07-17 15:17:32     darthdeus       inside the .julius file just #{json}
2014-07-17 15:21:52     brisbin         just looking at the docs, RawJavascript has an instance for ToJavascript
2014-07-17 15:22:00     brisbin         and Text/String have instances for RawJS
2014-07-17 15:22:17     brisbin         so #{rawJS json} may work for you
2014-07-17 15:22:36     brisbin         however
2014-07-17 15:22:43     brisbin         Value also has an instance for ToJavascript
2014-07-17 15:22:50     brisbin         so you don't need the encode/unpack dance
2014-07-17 15:22:55     brisbin         just put the Value in the interpolation
2014-07-17 15:23:13     darthdeus       it will automatically serialize to json?
2014-07-17 15:23:25     brisbin         i'm just looking at the types, i have no idea what it will do
2014-07-17 15:24:27     brisbin         #{toJSON reports}, see what happens
2014-07-17 15:26:26     darthdeus       oh wow that works, thanks :)
