{-# LANGUAGE DeriveDataTypeable #-} {-# LANGUAGE ExistentialQuantification #-} -- | Transient implements an event handling mechanism ("backtracking") which -- allows registration of one or more event handlers to be executed when an -- event occurs. This common underlying mechanism called is used to handle -- three different types of events: -- -- * User initiated actions to run undo and retry actions on failures -- * Finalization actions to run at the end of a task -- * Exception handlers to run when exceptions are raised -- -- Backtracking works seamlessly across thread boundaries. The freedom to put -- the undo, exception handling and finalization code where we want it allows -- us to write modular and composable code. -- -- Note that backtracking (undo, finalization or exception handling) does not -- roll back the user defined state in any way. It only -- executes the user-defined handlers. State changes are only caused via user -- defined actions. These actions also can change the state as it was when backtracking started. -- -- This example prints the final state as "world". -- -- @ -- import Transient.Base (keep, setState, getState) -- import Transient.Backtrack (onUndo, undo) -- import Control.Monad.IO.Class (liftIO) -- -- main = keep $ do -- setState "hello" -- oldState <- getState -- -- liftIO (putStrLn "Register undo") \`onUndo\` (do -- curState <- getState -- liftIO $ putStrLn $ "Final state: " ++ curState -- liftIO $ putStrLn $ "Old state: " ++ oldState) -- -- setState "world" >> undo >> return () -- @ -- -- See -- <https://www.fpcomplete.com/user/agocorona/the-hardworking-programmer-ii-practical-backtracking-to-undo-actions this blog post> -- for more details. module Transient.Backtrack ( -- * Multi-track Undo -- $multitrack onBack, back, forward, backCut, -- * Default Track Undo -- $defaulttrack onUndo, undo, retry, undoCut, -- * Finalization Primitives -- $finalization onFinish, onFinish', finish, noFinish, initFinish ) where import Transient.Internals -- Code moved to Internals in order to manage exceptions in spawned threads.
