Control.Monad.Catch.Pure

This module supplies a 'pure' monad transformer that can be used for mock-testing code that throws exceptions, so long as those exceptions are always thrown with throwM.

Do not mix CatchT with IO. Choose one or the other for the bottom of your transformer stack!

Transformer

The transformers-style monad transfomer

newtype CatchT m a

Add Exception handling abilities to a Monad.

This should never be used in combination with IO. Think of CatchT as an alternative base monad for use with mocking code that solely throws exceptions via throwM.

Note: that IO monad has these abilities already, so stacking CatchT on top of it does not add any value and can possibly be confusing:

>>> (error "Hello!" :: IO ()) `catch` (\(e :: ErrorCall) -> liftIO $ print e)
Hello!

>>> runCatchT $ (error "Hello!" :: CatchT IO ()) `catch` (\(e :: ErrorCall) -> liftIO $ print e)
*** Exception: Hello!

>>> runCatchT $ (throwM (ErrorCall "Hello!") :: CatchT IO ()) `catch` (\(e :: ErrorCall) -> liftIO $ print e)
Hello!

type Catch = CatchT Identity

runCatch :: Catch a -> Either SomeException a

mapCatchT :: (m (Either SomeException a) -> n (Either SomeException b)) -> CatchT m a -> CatchT n b

Map the unwrapped computation using the given function.

runCatchT (mapCatchT f m) = f (runCatchT m)
