Hi,  I am learning to use cabal for my code.  Just when I start, I met a question, is there an easy way to find out what packages my code depends?

Thanks.

Not really. The easiest way is to just build your code and add every package Cabal complains about being hid into your build-depends. (Usually this won't take more than a minute or 3 if you're toggling between a terminal and an editor.)
