HList-0.3.4.1: Heterogeneous lists

Safe HaskellNone

Data.HList.Labelable

Description

A simple problem is being solved here, but unfortunately it is a bit involved. The idea is to use the same haskell identifier for a lens and for other purposes. In other words, get the same behavior as:

 x = hLens (Label :: Label "x")
 r ^. x

While still being able to extract the symbol "x" from x, so that things like x .=. 123 could be acceptable. In this case we don't overload .=., so instead you have to write x .==. 123.

Elaboration of some ideas from edwardk.

Synopsis

Documentation

makeLabelable :: String -> Q [Dec]Source

makeLabelable "x y z" will generate haskell identifiers that work with .==. and are also lenses.

 x = hLens' (Label :: Label "x")
 y = hLens' (Label :: Label "y")
 z = hLens' (Label :: Label "z")

class Labelable l p f s t a b | l s -> a, l t -> b, l s b -> t, l t a -> s whereSource

f s t a b type parameters are the same as those that make Control.Lens work.

n
is the index in the HList at which the value will be found
l
is the label for the field (tends to be Symbol)
p
is -> when the result is used as a lens, or Labeled when used as an argument to .==.

Methods

hLens' :: Label l -> p (a -> f b) (Record s -> f (Record t))Source

Instances

(Functor f, HasField k x (Record s) a, HasField k x (Record t) b, HFind k x (RecordLabels k t) n, HFind k x (RecordLabels k s) n, HUpdateAtHNat n (Tagged k x b) s, ~ [*] t (HUpdateAtHNatR n (Tagged k x b) s)) => Labelable k x (->) f s t a b

make a lens

(~ (* -> *) f Identity, ~ [*] s ([] *), ~ [*] t ([] *), ~ * a (), ~ * b (), ~ k x' x) => Labelable k x' (Labeled k x) f s t a b

make a data type that allows recovering the field name

(.==.) :: ToSym * Symbol t l => t -> v -> Tagged Symbol l vSource

modification of .=. which works with the labels from this module, and those from Data.HList.Label6. Note that this is not strictly a generalization of .=., since it does not work with labels like Data.HList.Label3 which have the wrong kind.

comparison with hLens

Note that passing around variables defined with hLens' doesn't get you exactly the same thing as calling hLens at the call-site:

The following code needs to apply the x for different Functor f =>, so you would have to write a type signature (rank-2) to allow this definition:

 -- with the x defined using hLens'
 let f x r = let
          a = r ^. x
          b = r & x .~ "6"
        in (a,b)

This alternative won't need a type signature

 -- with the x defined as x = Label :: Label "x"
 let f x r = let
          a = r ^. hLens x
          b = r & hLens x .~ "6"
        in (a,b)

It may work to use hLens' instead of hLens in the second code, but that is a bit beside the point being made here.
