Control.Monad.Trans.Maybe

The MaybeT monad transformer extends a monad with the ability to exit the computation without returning a value.

A sequence of actions produces a value only if all the actions in the sequence do. If one exits, the rest of the sequence is skipped and the composite action exits.

For a variant allowing a range of exception values, see Control.Monad.Trans.Except.

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 exit.

The return function yields a computation that produces that value, while >>= sequences two subcomputations, exiting if either computation does.

runMaybeT :: MaybeT m a -> m (Maybe a)

The inverse of MaybeT.

mapMaybeT :: (m (Maybe a) -> n (Maybe b)) -> MaybeT m a -> MaybeT n b

Conversion

maybeToExceptT :: Functor m => e -> MaybeT m a -> ExceptT e m a

Convert a MaybeT computation to ExceptT, with a default exception value.

exceptToMaybeT :: Functor m => ExceptT e m a -> MaybeT m a

Convert a ExceptT computation to MaybeT, discarding the value of any exception.
