Control.Monad.Trans.Reader

Declaration of the ReaderT monad transformer, which adds a static environment to a given monad.

If the computation is to modify the stored information, use Control.Monad.Trans.State instead.

The Reader monad

type Reader r = ReaderT r Identity

The parameterizable reader monad.

Computations are functions of a shared environment.

The return function ignores the environment, while >>= passes the inherited environment to both subcomputations.

reader :: Monad m => (r -> a) -> ReaderT r m a

Constructor for computations in the reader monad (equivalent to asks).

runReader

Arguments

:: Reader r a

A Reader to run.

-> r

An initial environment.

-> a

Runs a Reader and extracts the final value from it. (The inverse of reader.)

mapReader :: (a -> b) -> Reader r a -> Reader r b

Transform the value returned by a Reader.

• runReader (mapReader f m) = f . runReader m

withReader

Arguments

:: (r' -> r)

The function to modify the environment.

-> Reader r a

Computation to run in the modified environment.

-> Reader r' a

Execute a computation in a modified environment (a specialization of withReaderT).

• runReader (withReader f m) = runReader m . f

The ReaderT monad transformer

newtype ReaderT r m a

The reader monad transformer, which adds a read-only environment to the given monad.

The return function ignores the environment, while >>= passes the inherited environment to both subcomputations.
