Control.Selective.Rigid.Free

This is a library for selective applicative functors, or just selective functors for short, an abstraction between applicative functors and monads, introduced in this paper: https://www.staff.ncl.ac.uk/andrey.mokhov/selective-functors.pdf.

This module defines free rigid selective functors. Rigid selective functors are those that satisfy the property <*> = apS.

Free rigid selective functors

Free rigid selective functors.

(<$) :: a -> Select f b -> Select f a

Functor f => Applicative (Select f)

Defined in Control.Selective.Rigid.Free

Methods

pure :: a -> Select f a

(<*>) :: Select f (a -> b) -> Select f a -> Select f b

liftA2 :: (a -> b -> c) -> Select f a -> Select f b -> Select f c

(*>) :: Select f a -> Select f b -> Select f b

Functor f => Selective (Select f)

Defined in Control.Selective.Rigid.Free

Methods

select :: Select f (Either a b) -> Select f (a -> b) -> Select f b

liftSelect :: Functor f => f a -> Select f a

Lift a functor into a free selective computation.

Static analysis

getPure :: Select f a -> Maybe a

Extract the resulting value if there are no necessary effects.

getEffects :: Functor f => Select f a -> [f ()]

Collect all possible effects in the order they appear in a free selective computation.

getNecessaryEffect :: Functor f => Select f a -> Maybe (f ())

Extract the necessary effect from a free selective computation. Note: there can be at most one effect that is statically guaranteed to be necessary.

runSelect :: Selective g => (forall x. f x -> g x) -> Select f a -> g a

Given a natural transformation from f to g, this gives a canonical natural transformation from Select f to g.

foldSelect :: Monoid m => (forall x. f x -> m) -> Select f a -> m

Concatenate all effects of a free selective computation.
