How do I enable hlint for haskell linting?

Question

I am trying to select hlint and use it as the default for haskell-mode. I recall accidentally finding the option for this once, but haven't been able to find it again. I am new to Emacs and do not know what to look for.

Have a search in this SE as well as on SO, for example: [this post](https://emacs.stackexchange.com/q/19454/17548) , You will need to configure haskell-mode requirements and hooks in your init file, so be prepared to learn how the init file works. — manandearth, Nov 03 '18 at 07:31

I found the option under SPC e s flycheck-select-checker haskell-hlint.

I could not find how to set haskell-hlint directly, so I instead disabled ghc and stack ghc from flycheck in my init, which causes flycheck to use hlint.

(setq-default flycheck-disabled-checkers '(haskell-ghc haskell-stack-ghc))

I'd like to know if there is a better way to directly state hlint as my preferred default.

Customizable variable `haskell-check-command` is set to hlint by default here by haskell-mode. – Andreas Röhler Nov 03 '18 at 17:52

I've just added support for hlint in Attrap.
