Description

A Setter s t a b is a generalization of fmap from Functor. It allows you to map into a structure and change out the contents, but it isn't strong enough to allow you to enumerate those contents. Starting with fmap :: Functor f => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b we monomorphize the type to obtain (a -> b) -> s -> t and then decorate it with Identity to obtain

type Setter s t a b = (a -> Identity b) -> s -> Identity t

Every Traversal is a valid Setter, since Identity is Applicative.

Everything you can do with a Functor, you can do with a Setter. There are combinators that generalize fmap and (<$).

Synopsis

Setters

type Setter s t a b = forall f. Settable f => (a -> f b) -> s -> f tSource

The only Lens-like law that can apply to a Setter l is that

set l y (set l x a) ≡ set l x a

You can't view a Setter in general, so the other two laws are irrelevant.

However, two Functor laws apply to a Setter:

 over l idid
 over l f . over l g ≡ over l (f . g)

These an be stated more directly:

 l purepure
 l f . untainted . l g ≡ l (f . untainted . g)

You can compose a Setter with a Lens or a Traversal using (.) from the Prelude and the result is always only a Setter and nothing more.

Building Setters

sets :: ((a -> b) -> s -> t) -> Setter s t a bSource

Build a Setter from a map-like function.

Your supplied function f is required to satisfy:

 f idid
 f g . f h ≡ f (g . h)

Equational reasoning:

 sets . overid
 over . setsid

Another way to view sets is that it takes a "semantic editor combinator" and transforms it into a Setter.

Common Setters

mapped :: Functor f => Setter (f a) (f b) a bSource

This setter can be used to map over all of the values in a Functor.

 fmapover mapped
 fmapDefaultover traverse
 (<$) ≡ set mapped
>>> over mapped (+1) [1,2,3]
[2,3,4]
>>> set mapped () [1,2,3]
[(),(),()]
>>> mapped.mapped %~ (+1) $ [[1,2],[3]]
[[2,3],[4]]
>>> over (mapped._2) length [("hello","world"),("leaders","!!!")]
[("hello",5),("leaders",3)]

Functional Combinators

over :: Setting s t a b -> (a -> b) -> s -> tSource

Modify the target of a Lens or all the targets of a Setter or Traversal with a function.

 fmapover mapped
 fmapDefaultover traverse
 sets . overid
 over . setsid
>>> over mapped (*10) [1,2,3]
[10,20,30]
>>> over _1 show (10,20)
("10",20)

Another way to view over is to say that it transformers a Setter into a "semantic editor combinator".

over :: Setter s t a b -> (a -> b) -> s -> t

mapOf :: Setting s t a b -> (a -> b) -> s -> tSource

Modify the target of a Lens or all the targets of a Setter or Traversal with a function. This is an alias for over that is provided for consistency.

 mapOf :: Iso s t a b         -> (a -> b) -> s -> t
 mapOf :: Lens s t a b        -> (a -> b) -> s -> t
 mapOf :: Traversal s t a b   -> (a -> b) -> s -> t

set :: Setting s t a b -> b -> s -> tSource

Replace the target of a Lens or all of the targets of a Setter or Traversal with a constant value.

(<$) ≡ set mapped
>>> set _2 "hello" (1,())
(1,"hello")
>>> set mapped () [1,2,3,4]
[(),(),(),()]

Note: Attempting to set a Fold or Getter will fail at compile time with an relatively nice error message.

Set with pass-through

This is useful for chaining assignment without round-tripping through your monad stack.

do x <- _2 <.= ninety_nine_bottles_of_beer_on_the_wall

If you do not need a copy of the intermediate result, then using l .= d will avoid unused binding warnings

 (<.=) :: MonadState s m => Setter s s a b -> b -> m b

 (<?=) :: MonadState s m => Setter s s a (Maybe b) -> b -> m b
 (<?=) :: MonadState s m => Iso s s a (Maybe b) -> b -> m b
 (<?=) :: MonadState s m => Lens s s a (Maybe b) -> b -> m b

(<~) :: MonadState s m => Setting s s a b -> m b -> m ()Source

Run a monadic action, and set all of the targets of a Lens, Setter or Traversal to its result.

 (<~) :: MonadState s m => Iso s s a b       -> m b -> m ()
 (<~) :: MonadState s m => Lens s s a b      -> m b -> m ()
 (<~) :: MonadState s m => Traversal s s a b -> m b -> m ()
 (<~) :: MonadState s m => Setter s s a b    -> m b -> m ()

As a reasonable mnemonic, this lets you store the result of a monadic action in a lens rather than in a local variable.

 do foo <- bar
    ...

will store the result in a variable, while

 do foo <~ bar
    ...

will store the result in a Lens, Setter, or Traversal.

Storing Setters

newtype ReifiedSetter s t a b Source

Reify a setter so it can be stored safely in a container.

Constructors

ReifySetter 

Fields

reflectSetter :: Setter s t a b
 

Setter Internals

type Setting s t a b = (a -> Mutator b) -> s -> Mutator tSource

Running a Setter instantiates it to a concrete type.

When consuming a setter directly to perform a mapping, you can use this type, but most user code will not need to use this type.

By choosing Mutator rather than Identity, we get nicer error messages.

type SimpleSetting s a = Setting s s a aSource

This is a useful alias for use when consuming a SimpleSetter.

Most user code will never have to use this type.

type SimpleSetting m = Simple Setting

Simplicity

type SimpleSetter s a = Setter s s a aSource

A Simple Setter is just a Setter that doesn't change the types.

These are particularly common when talking about monomorphic containers. e.g.

sets Data.Text.map :: SimpleSetter Text Char
type SimpleSetter = Simple Setter

Exported for legible error messages

class Applicative f => Settable f Source

Anything Settable must be isomorphic to the Identity Functor.

Instances

Settable Identity

so you can pass our a Setter into combinators from other lens libraries

Settable Mutator 
(Applicative (Backwards f), Settable f) => Settable (Backwards f)

backwards

(Applicative (Compose f g), Settable f, Settable g) => Settable (Compose f g) 

data Mutator a Source

Mutator is just a renamed Identity functor to give better error messages when someone attempts to use a getter as a setter.

Most user code will never need to see this type.
