As ~@~, but first function is also parametrised with a, hence the name ^@~. Character ^ indicates which argument is parametrised with additional argument.

Pass additional argument to first two function arguments.

This function is defined as:

(f ^@~ g) h a b -> ((f $! a) ~@~ (g $! a)) h b

See also ^@~ to note the difference, most importantly that ^@~ passes the same argument to all its functional arguments. Since this function uses strict function composition and strict application it is not so simple to define it in terms of other combinators in this package and vice versa. See lazy ^@~ for details.

Apply function g to each argument of binary function and f to its result. In suffix "2l" the number is equal to arity of the function it accepts as a third argument and character "l" is for "left associative".

between2l f g = (f ~@~ g) ~@~ g

Interesting observation:

(\f g -> between2l id g f) === on

Apply function g to each argument of ternary function and f to its result. In suffix "3l" the number is equal to arity of the function it accepts as a third argument and character "l" is for "left associative".

Prefix version of common pattern:

\f -> a `f` b

Where a and b are fixed parameters. There is also infix version named ~$~. This function is defined as:

inbetween a b f = (f $! a) $! b

Based on the above definition one can think of it as a variant function application that deals with two arguments, where in example $ only deals with one.

Since version 0.11.0.0.

Infix version of common pattern:

\f -> (f $! a) $! b

Where a and b are fixed parameters. There is also prefix version named inbetween.

Since version 0.11.0.0.

Infix version of common pattern:

\f -> (f $! a) $! b   -- Notice the order of 'a' and 'b'.

Since version 0.11.0.0.

Construct a function that encodes idiom:

\f -> f $! a $! b   -- Notice the order of 'b' and 'a'.

Function inbetween can be redefined in terms of withIn as:

a `inbetween` b = withIn $ \f -> a `f` b

On one hand you can think of this function as a specialized id function and on the other as a function application $. All the following definitions work for lazy variant:

withIn f g = f g
withIn = id
withIn = ($)

For strict variant we use:

withIn f g = f $! g

Usage examples:

newtype Foo a = Foo a

inFoo :: ((a -> Foo a) -> (Foo t -> t) -> r) -> r
inFoo = withIn $ \f ->
    Foo `f` \(Foo a) -> Foo

data Coords2D = Coords2D {_x :: Int, _y :: Int}

inX :: ((Int -> Coords2D -> Coords2D) -> (Coords2D -> Int) -> r) -> r
inX = withIn $ \f ->
    (\b s -> s{_x = b}) `f` _x

Since version 0.11.0.0.

Construct a function that encodes idiom:

\f -> b `f` a     -- Notice the order of 'b' and 'a'.

Function ~$$~ can be redefined in terms of withReIn as:

b ~$$~ a = withReIn $ \f -> b `f` a

As withIn, but the function is flipped before applied. All of the following definitions work for lazy variant:

withReIn f g = f (flip g)
withReIn = (. flip)

For strict variant we can use:

withReIn f g = f $! \b a -> inbetween a b g
withReIn f g = f $! \b a -> (a ~$~ b) g
withReIn f g = f $! \b a -> (b ~$$~ a) g
withReIn f g = f $! \b a -> g $! a $! b
withReIn f g = withIn f (\b a -> g $! a $! b)
withReIn f g = withIn f $! flip $! g   -- With strict flip.

Usage examples:

newtype Foo a = Foo a

inFoo :: ((a -> Foo a) -> (Foo t -> t) -> r) -> r
inFoo = withReIn $ \f ->
    (\(Foo a) -> Foo) `f` Foo

data Coords2D = Coords2D {_x :: Int, _y :: Int}

inX :: ((Int -> Coords2D -> Coords2D) -> (Coords2D -> Int) -> r) -> r
inX = withReIn $ \f ->
    _x `f` \b s -> s{_x = b}

Family of types that can construct isomorphism between types.

Since version 0.11.0.0.

A simple PreIso.

Since version 0.11.0.0.

Construct a PreIso; this function similar to Iso constructor function from lens package:

iso :: (s -> a) -> (b -> t) -> Iso s t a b

Usage example:

data Foo a = Foo a

preFoo :: PreIso r (Foo a) (Foo b) a b
preFoo = Foo `preIso` \(Foo a) -> a

Flipped variant of preIso.

Usage example:

data Foo a = Foo {_getFoo :: a}

preFoo :: PreIso r (Foo a) (Foo b) a b
preFoo = _getFoo `preIso'` Foo

We can also view PreLens as a special kind of PreIso:

PreLens r s t a b = PreIso r s (s -> t) a b

Since version 0.11.0.0.

A simple PreLens, where we can not change the type of the information we are focusing on. As a consequence neither the type of the container data type can be changed.

Since version 0.11.0.0.

Construct a PreLens; this function is similar to Lens constructor function from lens package:

lens :: (s -> b -> t) -> (s -> a) -> Lens' s t a b

Usage example:

data Coords2D = Coords2D {_x :: Int, _y :: Int}

preX :: PreLens' r Coords2D Int
preX = (\s b -> s{_x = b}) `preLens` _x

Flipped version of preLens that takes getter first and setter second.

data Coords2D = Coords2D {_x :: Int, _y :: Int}

preX :: PreLens' r Coords2D Int
preX = _x `preLens'` \s b -> s{_x = b}

Convert PreIso in to PreLens by injecting const to a setter function.

preIsoToPreLens aPreIso f = aPreIso $ \fbt fsa -> const fbt `f` fsa

Construct a Lens out of a PreLens.

data Coords2D = Coords2D {_x :: Int, _y :: Int}

preX :: PreLens' r Coords2D Int
preX = _x `preLens'` \s b -> s{_x = b}

x :: Lens' Coords2D Int
x = le preX

We can also get PrePrism by specializing PreIso:

PrePrism r s t a b = PreIso r s t (Either t a) b

This fact is not surprising, since Prisms are actually a special case of isomorphism between two types.

Let's have a type s, and we want to extract specific information out of it, but that information may not be there. Because of the fact that the type s can be a sum type. Imagine e.g. standard Maybe data type:

Maybe a = Nothing | Just a

How do we create something that can extrat that information from a sum type, and if necessary, also reconstructs that sum type. The answer is Prism, which is defined as an isomorphism between that type s and Either t a where a is the information we want to extract and t is the rest that we don't care about.

You may have noticed, that definition of PrePrism contains some type variables that aren't mentioned in the above definition. The reason for this is that, as with Lenses we may want to extract value of type a, but when constructing new data type we may want to change the type of that value in to b and therefore type s may not fit, which is the reason why we have type t in there. Once again we can ilustrate this with Maybe. Lets say that we have a value of s = Maybe a, but if we change the type of a in to b, and try to create Maybe again, then it would have type Maybe b = t.

Since version 0.11.0.0.

A simple PrePrism, where we can not change the type of the information we are focusing on. As a consequence neither the type of the container data type can be changed.

If we define PrePrism' in terms of PreIso' then we have even better ilustration of Prism concept in terms of isomorphism:

PrePrism' r s a = PreIso' r s (Either t a)

Since version 0.11.0.0.

Constract a PrePrism; this function is similar to Prism constructor function from lens package:

prism :: (b -> t) -> (s -> Either t a) -> Prism s t a b

Usage example:

{-# LANGUAGE LambdaCase #-}
data Sum a b = A a | B b

preA :: PrePrism r (Sum a c) (Sum b c) a b
preA = prePrism A $ \case
    A a -> Right a
    B b -> Left (B b)

Simplified construction of PrePrism, which can be used in following situations:

• Constructing Prism for types isomorphic to Maybe or
• when using cast operation, or similar, which either returns what you want or Nothing.

Alternative type signature of this function is also:

prePrism' :: PreIso r s s (Maybe a) b -> PrePrism r s s a b
