The only LensLike law that can apply to a Setter l is that

 set l y (set l x a) ≡ set l y 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 id ≡ id
 over l f . over l g ≡ over l (f . g)

These can be stated more directly:

 l pure ≡ pure
 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.

>>> over traverse f [a,b,c,d]
[f a,f b,f c,f d]

>>> over _1 f (a,b)
(f a,b)

>>> over (traverse._1) f [(a,b),(c,d)]
[(f a,b),(f c,d)]

>>> over both f (a,b)
(f a,f b)

>>> over (traverse.both) f [(a,b),(c,d)]
[(f a,f b),(f c,f d)]

A 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 :: Setter' Text Char

 type Setter' = Setter'

Every IndexedSetter is a valid Setter.

The Setter laws are still required to hold.

 type IndexedSetter' i = Simple (IndexedSetter i)

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.

This is a useful alias for use when consuming a Setter'.

Most user code will never have to use this type.

 type ASetter' = Simple ASetter

Running an IndexedSetter 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.

 type AnIndexedSetter' i = Simple (AnIndexedSetter i)

This is a convenient alias when defining highly polymorphic code that takes both ASetter and AnIndexedSetter as appropriate. If a function takes this it is expecting one of those two things based on context.

This is a convenient alias when defining highly polymorphic code that takes both ASetter' and AnIndexedSetter' as appropriate. If a function takes this it is expecting one of those two things based on context.

Build a Setter, IndexedSetter or IndexPreservingSetter depending on your choice of Profunctor.

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

Build an index-preserving Setter from a map-like function.

Your supplied function f is required to satisfy:

 f id ≡ id
 f g . f h ≡ f (g . h)

Equational reasoning:

 setting . over ≡ id
 over . setting ≡ id

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

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

Restore ASetter to a full Setter.

Build an IndexPreservingSetter from any Setter.

Clone an IndexedSetter.

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

 fmap ≡ over mapped
 fmapDefault ≡ over traverse
 (<$) ≡ set mapped

>>> over mapped f [a,b,c]
[f a,f b,f c]

>>> over mapped (+1) [1,2,3]
[2,3,4]

>>> set mapped x [a,b,c]
[x,x,x]

>>> [[a,b],[c]] & mapped.mapped +~ x
[[a + x,b + x],[c + x]]

>>> over (mapped._2) length [("hello","world"),("leaders","!!!")]
[("hello",5),("leaders",3)]

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

If you want an IndexPreservingSetter use setting fmap.

This setter can be used to modify all of the values in a Monad.

You sometimes have to use this rather than mapped -- due to temporary insanity Functor is not a superclass of Monad.

 liftM ≡ over lifted

>>> over lifted f [a,b,c]
[f a,f b,f c]

>>> set lifted b (Just a)
Just b

If you want an IndexPreservingSetter use setting liftM.

This Setter can be used to map over all of the inputs to a Contravariant.

 contramap ≡ over contramapped

>>> getPredicate (over contramapped (*2) (Predicate even)) 5
True

>>> getOp (over contramapped (*5) (Op show)) 100
"500"

>>> Prelude.map ($ 1) $ over (mapped . _Unwrapping' Op . contramapped) (*12) [(*2),(+1),(^3)]
[24,13,1728]

This Setter can be used to map over the input of a Profunctor.

The most common Profunctor to use this with is (->).

>>> (argument %~ f) g x
g (f x)

>>> (argument %~ show) length [1,2,3]
7

>>> (argument %~ f) h x y
h (f x) y

Map over the argument of the result of a function -- i.e., its second argument:

>>> (mapped.argument %~ f) h x y
h x (f y)

 argument :: Setter (b -> r) (a -> r) a b

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

 fmap ≡ over mapped
 fmapDefault ≡ over traverse
 sets . over ≡ id
 over . sets ≡ id

Given any valid Setter l, you can also rely on the law:

 over l f . over l g = over l (f . g)

e.g.

>>> over mapped f (over mapped g [a,b,c]) == over mapped (f . g) [a,b,c]
True

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

>>> over mapped f (Just a)
Just (f a)

>>> over mapped (*10) [1,2,3]
[10,20,30]

>>> over _1 f (a,b)
(f a,b)

>>> over _1 show (10,20)
("10",20)

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

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 :: Setter s t a b    -> b -> s -> t
 set :: Iso s t a b       -> b -> s -> t
 set :: Lens s t a b      -> b -> s -> t
 set :: Traversal s t a b -> b -> s -> t

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

This is an infix version of set, provided for consistency with (.=).

 f <$ a ≡ mapped .~ f $ a

>>> (a,b,c,d) & _4 .~ e
(a,b,c,e)

>>> (42,"world") & _1 .~ "hello"
("hello","world")

>>> (a,b) & both .~ c

(f a,f b)

>>> _2 %~ length $ (1,"hello")

This is a generalization of censor that alows you to censor just a portion of the resulting MonadWriter, with access to the index of an IndexedSetter.

Replace the target of a Lens or all of the targets of a Setter' or Traversal with a constant value, without changing its type.

This is a type restricted version of set, which retains the type of the original.

>>> set' mapped x [a,b,c,d]
[x,x,x,x]

>>> set' _2 "hello" (1,"world")
(1,"hello")

>>> set' mapped 0 [1,2,3,4]
[0,0,0,0]

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

 set' :: Setter' s a    -> a -> s -> s
 set' :: Iso' s a       -> a -> s -> s
 set' :: Lens' s a      -> a -> s -> s
 set' :: Traversal' s a -> a -> s -> s

Map with index. (Deprecated alias for iover).

When you do not need access to the index, then mapOf is more liberal in what it can accept.

 mapOf l ≡ imapOf l . const

 imapOf :: IndexedSetter i s t a b    -> (i -> a -> b) -> s -> t
 imapOf :: IndexedLens i s t a b      -> (i -> a -> b) -> s -> t
 imapOf :: IndexedTraversal i s t a b -> (i -> a -> b) -> s -> t

Map with index. This is an alias for imapOf.

When you do not need access to the index, then over is more liberal in what it can accept.

 over l ≡ iover l . const
 iover l ≡ over l . Indexed

 iover :: IndexedSetter i s t a b    -> (i -> a -> b) -> s -> t
 iover :: IndexedLens i s t a b      -> (i -> a -> b) -> s -> t
 iover :: IndexedTraversal i s t a b -> (i -> a -> b) -> s -> t

Build an IndexedSetter from an imap-like function.

Your supplied function f is required to satisfy:

 f id ≡ id
 f g . f h ≡ f (g . h)

Equational reasoning:

 isets . iover ≡ id
 iover . isets ≡ id

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

Adjust every target of an IndexedSetter, IndexedLens or IndexedTraversal with access to the index.

 (%@~) ≡ imapOf

When you do not need access to the index then (%@~) is more liberal in what it can accept.

 l %~ f ≡ l %@~ const f

 (%@~) :: IndexedSetter i s t a b    -> (i -> a -> b) -> s -> t
 (%@~) :: IndexedLens i s t a b      -> (i -> a -> b) -> s -> t
 (%@~) :: IndexedTraversal i s t a b -> (i -> a -> b) -> s -> t

Adjust every target in the current state of an IndexedSetter, IndexedLens or IndexedTraversal with access to the index.

When you do not need access to the index then (%=) is more liberal in what it can accept.

 l %= f ≡ l %@= const f

 (%@=) :: MonadState s m => IndexedSetter i s s a b    -> (i -> a -> b) -> m ()
 (%@=) :: MonadState s m => IndexedLens i s s a b      -> (i -> a -> b) -> m ()
 (%@=) :: MonadState s m => IndexedTraversal i s t a b -> (i -> a -> b) -> m ()

Run an arrow command and use the output to set all the targets of a Lens, Setter or Traversal to the result.

assignA can be used very similarly to (<~), except that the type of the object being modified can change; for example:

 runKleisli action ((), (), ()) where
   action =      assignA _1 (Kleisli (const getVal1))
            >>> assignA _2 (Kleisli (const getVal2))
            >>> assignA _3 (Kleisli (const getVal3))
   getVal1 :: Either String Int
   getVal1 = ...
   getVal2 :: Either String Bool
   getVal2 = ...
   getVal3 :: Either String Char
   getVal3 = ...

has the type Either String (Int, Bool, Char)

 assignA :: Arrow p => Iso s t a b       -> p s b -> p s t
 assignA :: Arrow p => Lens s t a b      -> p s b -> p s t
 assignA :: Arrow p => Traversal s t a b -> p s b -> p s t
 assignA :: Arrow p => Setter s t a b    -> p s b -> p s t

Anything Settable must be isomorphic to the Identity Functor.

Identity functor and monad. (a non-strict monad)

mapOf is a deprecated alias for over.
