Control.Monad.Trans.Maybe

The MaybeT monad transformer adds the ability to fail to a monad.

A sequence of actions succeeds, producing a value, only if all the actions in the sequence are successful. If one fails, the rest of the sequence is skipped and the composite action fails.

For a variant allowing a range of error values, see Control.Monad.Trans.Error.

The MaybeT monad transformer

newtype MaybeT m a

The parameterizable maybe monad, obtained by composing an arbitrary monad with the Maybe monad.

Computations are actions that may produce a value or fail.

The return function yields a successful computation, while >>= sequences two subcomputations, failing on the first error.
