This package is not currently in any snapshots. If you're interested in using it, we recommend adding it to Stackage Nightly. Doing so will make builds more reliable, and allow stackage.org to host generated Haddocks.

IMPORTANT! Development of AutoForms has stopped. In stead use
WxGeneric (see
http:/lindstroem.wordpress.com20080503introducing-wxgeneric )
which is based upon AutoForms. Nonetheless, AutoForms may still a good
resource for ideas.
AutoForms is a library to ease the creation of Graphical User
Interfaces (GUI). It does this by using generic programming to
construct GUI components.
The AutoForms user creates an ordinary algebraic data type (ADT),
which should reflect the data model of an application. From this ADT
AutoForms automatically constructs a GUI component, by using the
structure and identifiers of the ADT. To facilitate this construction,
AutoForms uses the 'Scrap your boilerplate' approach to generic
programming.
This component can be displayed using WxHaskell or by an AutoForms
custom monad called WxM.. The first facilitates that people who
already knows WxHaskell quickly will be able to make GUIs. The second
is our attempt at a more type-safe and easier to use GUI toolkit.
