Contents

Description

Text.ProtocolBuffers.Basic defines or re-exports most of the basic field types; Maybe,Bool, Double, and Float come from the Prelude instead. This module also defined the Mergeable and Default classes. The Wire class is not defined here to avoid orphans.

Synopsis

Basic types for protocol buffer fields in Haskell

data Double

Double-precision floating point numbers. It is desirable that this type be at least equal in range and precision to the IEEE double-precision type.

Instances

data Float

Single-precision floating point numbers. It is desirable that this type be at least equal in range and precision to the IEEE single-precision type.

Instances

data Bool

Instances

data Maybe a

The Maybe type encapsulates an optional value. A value of type Maybe a either contains a value of type a (represented as Just a), or it is empty (represented as Nothing). Using Maybe is a good way to deal with errors or exceptional cases without resorting to drastic measures such as error.

The Maybe type is also a monad. It is a simple kind of error monad, where all errors are represented by Nothing. A richer error monad can be built using the Either type.

Instances

Data a => Data (Maybe a) 
Ord a => Ord (Maybe a) 
Read a => Read (Maybe a) 
Show a => Show (Maybe a) 
Generic (Maybe a) 
Monoid a => Monoid (Maybe a)

Lift a semigroup into Maybe forming a Monoid according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoid: "Any semigroup S may be turned into a monoid simply by adjoining an element e not in S and defining e*e = e and e*s = s = s*e for all s ∈ S." Since there is no "Semigroup" typeclass providing just mappend, we use Monoid instead.

Mergeable a => Mergeable (Maybe a)

newtype FieldType Source

FieldType is the integer associated with the FieldDescriptorProto's Type. The allowed range is currently 1 to 18, as shown below (excerpt from descritor.proto)

                               // take 10 bytes.  Use TYPE_SINT64 if negative

type WireSize = Int64Source

Some of the type classes implemented messages and fields

class Default a => Mergeable a whereSource

The Mergeable class is not a Monoid, mergeEmpty is not a left or right unit like mempty. The default mergeAppend is to take the second parameter and discard the first one. The mergeConcat defaults to foldl associativity.

NOTE: mergeEmpty has been removed in protocol buffers version 2. Use defaultValue instead. New strict fields would mean that required fields in messages will be automatic errors with mergeEmpty.

Methods

mergeAppend :: a -> a -> aSource

mergeAppend is the right-biased merge of two values. A message (or group) is merged recursively. Required field are always taken from the second message. Optional field values are taken from the most defined message or the second message if both are set. Repeated fields have the sequences concatenated. Note that strings and bytes are NOT concatenated.

mergeConcat :: Foldable t => t a -> aSource

mergeConcat is F.foldl mergeAppend defaultValue and this default definition is not overridden in any of the code except for the (Seq a) instance.

Instances

class Default a whereSource

The Default class has the default-default values of types. See http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/proto.html#optional and also note that Enum types have a defaultValue that is the first one in the .proto file (there is always at least one value). Instances of this for messages hold any default value defined in the .proto file. defaultValue is where the MessageAPI function getVal looks when an optional field is not set.

Methods

defaultValue :: aSource

The defaultValue is never undefined or an error to evalute. This makes it much more useful compared to mergeEmpty. In a default message all Optional field values are set to Nothing and Repeated field values are empty.
