blaze-html, reform and web-routes in Yesod

[Corentin Dupont]

Hi guys,
I wondered if it would be difficult to translate an application from Happstack to Yesod.
My app uses blaze-html, reform and web-routes. Are these compatible with Yesod?
I also use happstack-authenticate, is there an equivavlent?
Thanks,
Corentin

Hopefully someone with more experience here can provide more insight, but:

* blaze-html: absolutely, it's what Yesod itself is using (with Hamlet as an alternative syntax, but the same datatypes)

* reform: it should probably work, but I've never used it myself

* web-routes: possible, but tricky, and you'd end up missing out on a lot of the features of Yesod when it comes to routing

* happstack-authenticate: yesod-auth (https://www.stackage.org/package/yesod-auth)? The book also has a chapter on auth (http://www.yesodweb.com/book/authentication-and-authorization)

It would be great to see a blog post on using reform with yesod since I am under the impression it is nicer than yesod-forms.

You should be able to convert web-routes to yesod style routing manually without issue.
