Control.Monad.Reader.Class
Description
- Computation type:
- Computations which read values from a shared environment.
- Binding strategy:
- Monad values are functions from the environment to a value. The bound function is applied to the bound value, and both have access to the shared environment.
- Useful for:
- Maintaining variable bindings, or other shared environment.
- Zero and plus:
- None.
- Example type:
-
Reader[(String,Value)] a
The Reader monad (also called the Environment monad).
Represents a computation, which can read values from
a shared environment, pass values from function to function,
and execute sub-computations in a modified environment.
Using Reader monad for such computations is often clearer and easier
than using the Control.Monad.State.State monad.
Inspired by the paper /Functional Programming with Overloading and Higher-Order Polymorphism/, Mark P Jones (http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~mpj/) Advanced School of Functional Programming, 1995.

- asks :: MonadReader r m => (r -> a) -> m a
Documentation
class Monad m => MonadReader r m | m -> r whereSource
See examples in Control.Monad.Reader.
Note, the partially applied function type (->) r is a simple reader monad.
See the instance declaration below.
