The identity functor and monad.
This trivial type constructor serves two purposes:
- It can be used with functions parameterized by functor or monad classes.
- It can be used as a base monad to which a series of monad
transformers may be applied to construct a composite monad.
Most monad transformer modules include the special case of
applying the transformer to
Identity
. For example,State s
is an abbreviation forStateT s

Identity [1,2,3,4,5,6]
>>> do x <- Identity 10 y <- Identity (x + 5) pure (x + y) Identity 25
