Perform some operation on Just, given the field inside the Just.

whenJust Nothing  print == return ()
whenJust (Just 1) print == print 1

Like whenJust, but where the test can be monadic.

Like when, but return either Nothing if the predicate was False, of Just with the result of the computation.

whenMaybe True  (print 1) == fmap Just (print 1)
whenMaybe False (print 1) == return Nothing

Like whenMaybe, but where the test can be monadic.

The identity function which requires the inner argument to be (). Useful for functions with overloaded return types.

\(x :: Maybe ()) -> unit x == x

Monadic generalisation of maybe.

Monadic generalisation of either.

A looping operation, where the predicate returns Left as a seed for the next loop or Right to abort the loop.

loop (\x -> if x < 10 then Left $ x * 2 else Right $ show x) 1 == "16"

A monadic version of loop, where the predicate returns Left as a seed for the next loop or Right to abort the loop.

Keep running an operation until it becomes False. As an example:

whileM $ do sleep 0.1; notM $ doesFileExist "foo.txt"
readFile "foo.txt"

If you need some state persisted between each test, use loopM.

A version of partition that works with a monadic predicate.

partitionM (Just . even) [1,2,3] == Just ([2], [1,3])
partitionM (const Nothing) [1,2,3] == Nothing

A version of concatMap that works with a monadic predicate.

Like concatMapM, but has its arguments flipped, so can be used instead of the common fmap concat $ forM pattern.

A version of mconcatMap that works with a monadic predicate.

A version of mapMaybe that works with a monadic predicate.

Like find, but where the test can be monadic.

findM (Just . isUpper) "teST"             == Just (Just 'S')
findM (Just . isUpper) "test"             == Just Nothing
findM (Just . const True) ["x",undefined] == Just (Just "x")

Like findM, but also allows you to compute some additional information in the predicate.

A variant of foldM that has no base case, and thus may only be applied to non-empty lists.

fold1M (\x y -> Just x) [] == undefined
fold1M (\x y -> Just $ x + y) [1, 2, 3] == Just 6

Like fold1M but discards the result.

Like when, but where the test can be monadic.

Like unless, but where the test can be monadic.

Like if, but where the test can be monadic.

Like not, but where the test can be monadic.

The lazy || operator lifted to a monad. If the first argument evaluates to True the second argument will not be evaluated.

Just True  ||^ undefined  == Just True
Just False ||^ Just True  == Just True
Just False ||^ Just False == Just False

The lazy && operator lifted to a monad. If the first argument evaluates to False the second argument will not be evaluated.

Just False &&^ undefined  == Just False
Just True  &&^ Just True  == Just True
Just True  &&^ Just False == Just False

A version of or lifted to a monad. Retains the short-circuiting behaviour.

orM [Just False,Just True ,undefined] == Just True
orM [Just False,Just False,undefined] == undefined
\xs -> Just (or xs) == orM (map Just xs)

A version of and lifted to a monad. Retains the short-circuiting behaviour.

andM [Just True,Just False,undefined] == Just False
andM [Just True,Just True ,undefined] == undefined
\xs -> Just (and xs) == andM (map Just xs)

A version of any lifted to a monad. Retains the short-circuiting behaviour.

anyM Just [False,True ,undefined] == Just True
anyM Just [False,False,undefined] == undefined
\(f :: Int -> Maybe Bool) xs -> anyM f xs == orM (map f xs)

A version of all lifted to a monad. Retains the short-circuiting behaviour.

allM Just [True,False,undefined] == Just False
allM Just [True,True ,undefined] == undefined
\(f :: Int -> Maybe Bool) xs -> anyM f xs == orM (map f xs)
