Data.Typeable

Description

The Typeable class reifies types to some extent by associating type representations to types. These type representations can be compared, and one can in turn define a type-safe cast operation. To this end, an unsafe cast is guarded by a test for type (representation) equivalence. The module Data.Dynamic uses Typeable for an implementation of dynamics. The module Data.Data uses Typeable and type-safe cast (but not dynamics) to support the "Scrap your boilerplate" style of generic programming.

Compatibility Notes

Since GHC 8.2, GHC has supported type-indexed type representations. Data.Typeable provides type representations which are qualified over this index, providing an interface very similar to the Typeable notion seen in previous releases. For the type-indexed interface, see Type.Reflection.

Since GHC 7.10, all types automatically have Typeable instances derived. This is in contrast to previous releases where Typeable had to be explicitly derived using the DeriveDataTypeable language extension.

Since GHC 7.8, Typeable is poly-kinded. The changes required for this might break some old programs involving Typeable. More details on this, including how to fix your code, can be found on the PolyTypeable wiki page

Synopsis

The Typeable class

class Typeable (a :: k) Source #

The class Typeable allows a concrete representation of a type to be calculated.

Minimal complete definition

typeRep#

typeOf :: forall a. Typeable a => a -> TypeRep Source #

Observe a type representation for the type of a value.

typeRep :: forall proxy a. Typeable a => proxy a -> TypeRep Source #

Takes a value of type a and returns a concrete representation of that type.

Since: base-4.7.0.0

Propositional equality

data a :~: b where infix 4 Source #

Propositional equality. If a :~: b is inhabited by some terminating value, then the type a is the same as the type b. To use this equality in practice, pattern-match on the a :~: b to get out the Refl constructor; in the body of the pattern-match, the compiler knows that a ~ b.

A canonical proxy type

data Proxy t Source #

Proxy is a type that holds no data, but has a phantom parameter of arbitrary type (or even kind). Its use is to provide type information, even though there is no value available of that type (or it may be too costly to create one).

Historically, Proxy :: Proxy a is a safer alternative to the undefined :: a idiom.

>>> Proxy :: Proxy (Void, Int -> Int)
Proxy

Proxy can even hold types of higher kinds,

>>> Proxy :: Proxy Either
Proxy
>>> Proxy :: Proxy Functor
Proxy
>>> Proxy :: Proxy complicatedStructure
