Their main issues are: -- -- (1) Inability to define multiple data types sharing field names in the same -- module. -- -- (2) Pollution of global namespace as every field accessor is also a top-level -- function. -- -- (3) Clunky update syntax, especially when nested fields get involved. -- -- Over the years multiple language extensions were proposed and implemented to -- alleviate these issues. We're quite close to having a reasonable solution -- with the following trifecta: -- -- - @<https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/glasgow_exts.html#extension-DuplicateRecordFields DuplicateRecordFields>@ - introduced in GHC 8.0.1, addresses (1) -- -- - @<https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/160 NoFieldSelectors>@ - accepted GHC proposal, addresses (2) -- -- - @<https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/282 RecordDotSyntax>@ - accepted GHC proposal, addresses (3) -- -- It needs to be noted however that both @NoFieldSelectors@ and -- @RecordDotSyntax@ are not yet implemented, with the latter depending on -- adding @setField@ to @HasField@ -- (<https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/16232 ghc/16232>), not yet -- merged. -- -- Is there no hope then for people who would like to work with records in a -- reasonable way without waiting for these extensions? Not necessarily, as by -- following a couple of simple patterns we can get pretty much the same (and -- more) features with labels as optics, just with a slightly more verbose -- syntax. -- $solution -- -- === Prefixless fields with @DuplicateRecordFields@ -- -- We necessarily want field names to be prefixless, i.e. @field@ to be a field -- name and @#field@ to be an overloaded label that becomes an optic refering to -- this field in the appropriate context. With this approach we get working -- autocompletion and jump-to-definition in editors supporting @ctags@/@etags@ -- in combination with @<https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hasktags hasktags>@, -- both of which (especially the latter) are very important for developer's -- productivity in real-world code bases. -- -- Let's look at data types defined with this approach in mind: -- -- @ -- {-\# LANGUAGE DuplicateRecordFields \#-} -- -- import Data.Time -- -- data User = User { id :: Int -- , name :: String -- , joined :: UTCTime -- , movies :: [Movie] -- } -- -- data Movie = Movie { id :: Int -- , name :: String -- , releaseDate :: UTCTime -- } -- @ -- -- Then appropriate 'LabelOptic' instances can be either written by hand, -- seamlessly derived via generic representation (see the -- <Optics-Label.html#usage Sample usage> section for more details) -- or generated with Template Haskell functions -- (defined in -- <https://hackage.haskell.org/package/optics-th/docs/Optics-TH.html Optics.TH> -- module from <https://hackage.haskell.org/package/optics-th optics-th> -- package) with -- -- @ -- makeFieldLabelsNoPrefix ''User -- makeFieldLabelsNoPrefix ''Movie -- @ -- -- For production software the recommended approach is generation with Template -- Haskell as it scales well in terms of compilation time and provides the best -- performance in general. -- -- /Note:/ there exists a similar approach that involves prefixing field names -- (either with the underscore or name of the data type) and generation of -- lenses as ordinary functions so that @prefixField@ is the ordinary field name -- and @field@ is the lens referencing it. The drawback of such solution is -- inability to get working jump-to-definition for field names, which makes -- navigation in unfamiliar code bases significantly harder, so it's not -- recommended. -- -- === Emulation of @NoFieldSelectors@ -- -- Prefixless fields (especially ones with common names such as @id@ or @name@) -- leak into global namespace as accessor functions and can generate a lot of -- name clashes. Before @NoFieldSelectors@ is available, this can be alleviated by -- splitting modules defining types into two, namely: -- -- (1) A private one that exports full type definitions, i.e. with their fields -- and constructors. -- -- (2) A public one that exports only constructors (or no constructors at all if -- the data type in question is opaque). -- -- There is no notion of private and public modules within a single cabal -- target, but we can hint at it e.g. by naming the public module @T@ and -- private @T.Internal@. -- -- An example: -- -- Private module: -- -- @ -- {-\# LANGUAGE DataKinds \#-} -- {-\# LANGUAGE FlexibleInstances \#-} -- {-\# LANGUAGE MultiParamTypeClasses \#-} -- {-\# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell \#-} -- {-\# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies \#-} -- {-\# LANGUAGE UndecidableInstances \#-} -- module User.Internal (User(..)) where -- -- import Optics.TH -- -- data User = User { id :: Int -- , name :: String -- } -- -- makeFieldLabelsNoPrefix ''User -- -- ... -- @ -- -- Public module: -- -- @ -- module User (User(User)) where -- -- import User.Internal -- -- ... -- @ -- -- Then, whenever we're dealing with a value of type @User@ and want to read or -- modify its fields, we can use corresponding labels without having to import -- @User.Internal@. Importing @User@ is enough because it provides appropriate -- 'LabelOptic' instances through @User.Internal@ which enables labels to be -- interpreted as optics in the appropriate context. -- -- /Note:/ if you plan to completely hide (some of) the fields of a data type, -- you need to skip defining the corresponding 'LabelOptic' instances for them -- (in case you want fields to be read only, you can make the optic kind of the -- coresponding 'LabelOptic' 'A_Getter' instead of 'A_Lens'). It's because -- Haskell makes it impossible to selectively hide instances, so once a -- 'LabelOptic' instance is defined, it'll always be possible to use a label -- that desugars to its usage whenever a module with its definition is -- (transitively) imported. -- -- @ -- {-\# LANGUAGE OverloadedLabels #-} -- -- import Optics -- import User -- -- greetUser :: User -> String -- greetUser user = "Hello " ++ user ^. #name ++ "!" -- -- addSurname :: String -> User -> User -- addSurname surname user = user & #name %~ (++ " " ++ surname) -- @ -- -- But what if we want to create a new @User@ with the record syntax? Importing -- @User@ module is not sufficient since it doesn't export @User@'s -- fields. However, if we import @User.Internal@ /fully qualified/ and make use -- of the fact that field names used within the record syntax don't have to be -- prefixed when @DisambiguateRecordFields@ language extension is enabled, it -- works out: -- -- @ -- {-\# LANGUAGE DisambiguateRecordFields \#-} -- -- import User -- import qualified User.Internal -- -- newUser :: User -- newUser = User { id = 1 -- not User.Internal.id -- , name = \"Ian\" -- not User.Internal.name -- } -- @ -- -- This way top-level field accessor functions stay in their own qualified -- namespace and don't generate name clashes, yet they can be used without -- prefix within the record syntax. -- $result -- -- When we follow the above conventions for data types in our application, we -- get: -- -- (1) Prefixless field names that don't pollute global namespace (with the -- internal module qualification trick). -- -- (2) Working tags based jump-to-definition for field names (as @field@ is the -- ordinary field, whereas @#field@ is the lens referencing it). -- -- (3) The full power of optics at our disposal, should we ever need it. -- $instanceStructure #structure# -- -- You might wonder why instances generated with Template Haskell have the -- following form: -- -- @ -- instance (k ~ A_Lens, a ~ [Pet], b ~ [Pet]) => LabelOptic "pets" k Human Human a b where -- ... -- @ -- -- instead of -- -- @ -- instance LabelOptic "pets" A_Lens Human Human [Pet] [Pet] where -- ... -- @ -- -- The reason is that using the first form ensures that it is enough for GHC to -- match on the instance if either @s@ or @t@ is known (as equality constraints -- are solved after the instance matches), which not only makes type inference -- better, but also allows it to generate better error messages. -- -- >>> :set -XDataKinds -- >>> :set -XFlexibleInstances -- >>> :set -XMultiParamTypeClasses -- >>> :set -XTypeFamilies -- >>> :set -XUndecidableInstances -- >>> :{ -- data Pet = Dog { name :: String } -- | Cat { name :: String } -- deriving Show -- :} -- -- >>> :{ -- data Human1 = Human1 { pets :: [Pet] } -- deriving Show -- instance LabelOptic "pets" A_Lens Human1 Human1 [Pet] [Pet] where -- labelOptic = lensVL $ \f (Human1 pets) -> Human1 <$> f pets -- :} -- -- >>> :{ -- data Human2 = Human2 { pets :: [Pet] } -- deriving Show -- instance (k ~ A_Lens, a ~ [Pet], b ~ [Pet]) => LabelOptic "pets" k Human2 Human2 a b where -- labelOptic = lensVL $ \f (Human2 pets) -> Human2 <$> f pets -- :} -- -- >>> let human1 = Human1 [Dog "Lucky"] -- >>> let human2 = Human2 [Cat "Sleepy"] -- -- Let's have a look how these two instance definitions differ. -- -- >>> human1 & #pets .~ [] -- ... -- ...No instance for LabelOptic "pets" ‘A_Lens’ ‘Human1’ ‘()’ ‘[Pet]’ ‘[a0]’ -- ... -- -- >>> human2 & #pets .~ [] -- Human2 {pets = []} -- -- That's because an empty list doesn't have a type @[Pet]@, it has a type @[r]@ -- and GHC doesn't have enough information to match on the instance we -- provided.
