[back to package description]

effectful-plugin

A GHC plugin for improving disambiguation of effects.

Usage

To enable the plugin, add the following GHC option to your project file:

ghc-options: -fplugin=Effectful.Plugin

What it does

The following code:

action :: (State Int :> es, State String :> es) => Eff es ()
action = do
  x <- get
  put (x + 1)

will not compile out of the box because GHC doesn't know that you meant to get an Int since the function + as well as the literal 1 are polymorphic. You have to write:

action :: (State Int :> es, State String :> es) => Eff es ()
action = do
  x <- get @Int
  put (x + 1)

Which is slightly annoying. This plugin tells GHC extra information so code like this can type-check without having to spell types to the compiler.
