Description

Applicative functor transformers for free

Synopsis

Documentation

Compared to the free monad transformers, they are less expressive. However, they are also more flexible to inspect and interpret, as the number of ways in which the values can be nested is more limited.

See Free Applicative Functors, by Paolo Capriotti and Ambrus Kaposi, for some applications.

newtype ApT f g a Source

The free Applicative transformer for a Functor f over Applicative g.

Constructors

ApT 

Fields

getApT :: g (ApF f g a)
 

data ApF f g a where Source

The free Applicative for a Functor f.

Constructors

Pure :: a -> ApF f g a 
Ap :: f a -> ApT f g (a -> b) -> ApF f g b 

Instances

liftApT :: Applicative g => f a -> ApT f g a Source

A version of lift that can be used with no constraint for f.

liftApO :: Functor g => g a -> ApT f g a Source

Lift an action of the "outer" Functor g a to ApT f g a.

runApT :: (Applicative h, Functor g) => (forall a. f a -> h a) -> (forall a. g (h a) -> h a) -> ApT f g b -> h b Source

Given natural transformations f ~> h and g . h ~> h this gives a natural transformation ApT f g ~> h.

runApF :: (Applicative h, Functor g) => (forall a. f a -> h a) -> (forall a. g (h a) -> h a) -> ApF f g b -> h b Source

Given natural transformations f ~> h and g . h ~> h this gives a natural transformation ApF f g ~> h.

runApT_ :: (Functor g, Monoid m) => (forall a. f a -> m) -> (g m -> m) -> ApT f g b -> m Source

Perform a monoidal analysis over ApT f g b value.

Examples:

height :: (Functor g, Foldable g) => ApT f g a -> Int
height = getSum . runApT_ (_ -> Sum 1) maximum
size :: (Functor g, Foldable g) => ApT f g a -> Int
size = getSum . runApT_ (_ -> Sum 1) fold

hoistApT :: Functor g => (forall a. f a -> f' a) -> ApT f g b -> ApT f' g b Source

Given a natural transformation from f to f' this gives a monoidal natural transformation from ApT f g to ApT f' g.

hoistApF :: Functor g => (forall a. f a -> f' a) -> ApF f g b -> ApF f' g b Source

Given a natural transformation from f to f' this gives a monoidal natural transformation from ApF f g to ApF f' g.

transApT :: Functor g => (forall a. g a -> g' a) -> ApT f g b -> ApT f g' b Source

Given a natural transformation from g to g' this gives a monoidal natural transformation from ApT f g to ApT f g'.

transApF :: Functor g => (forall a. g a -> g' a) -> ApF f g b -> ApF f g' b Source

Given a natural transformation from g to g' this gives a monoidal natural transformation from ApF f g to ApF f g'.

joinApT :: Monad m => ApT f m a -> m (Ap f a) Source

Pull out and join m layers of ApT f m a.

Free Applicative

type Ap f = ApT f Identity Source

The free Applicative for a Functor f.

runAp :: Applicative g => (forall x. f x -> g x) -> Ap f a -> g a Source

Given a natural transformation from f to g, this gives a canonical monoidal natural transformation from Ap f to g.

runAp t == retractApp . hoistApp t

runAp_ :: Monoid m => (forall x. f x -> m) -> Ap f a -> m Source

Perform a monoidal analysis over free applicative value.

Example:

count :: Ap f a -> Int
count = getSum . runAp_ (\_ -> Sum 1)

retractAp :: Applicative f => Ap f a -> f a Source

Interprets the free applicative functor over f using the semantics for pure and <*> given by the Applicative instance for f.

retractApp == runAp id

Free Alternative

type Alt f = ApT f [] Source

The free Alternative for a Functor f.

runAlt :: (Alternative g, Foldable t) => (forall x. f x -> g x) -> ApT f t a -> g a Source

Given a natural transformation from f to g, this gives a canonical monoidal natural transformation from Alt f to g.
