Description

The core functionality for the Proxy monad transformer

Read Pipes.Tutorial if you want a beginners tutorial explaining how to use this library. The documentation in this module targets more advanced users who want to understand the theory behind this library.

This module is not exported by default, and I recommend you use the unidirectional operations exported by the Pipes module if you can. You should only use this module if you require advanced features like:

  • bidirectional communication, or:
  • push-based Pipes.

Synopsis

Proxy Monad Transformer

Diagrammatically, you can think of a Proxy as having the following shape:

 Upstream | Downstream
     +---------+
     |         |
 a' <==       <== b'
     |         |
 a  ==>       ==> b
     |    |    |
     +----|----+
          v
          r

You can connect proxies together in five different ways:

  • (>+>): connect pull-based streams
  • (>~>): connect push-based streams
  • (\>\): chain folds
  • (/>/): chain unfolds
  • (>=>): sequence proxies

data Proxy a' a b' b m r Source

A Proxy is a monad transformer that receives and sends information on both an upstream and downstream interface.

The type variables signify:

  • a' and a - The upstream interface, where (a')s go out and (a)s come in
  • b' and b - The downstream interface, where (b)s go out and (b')s come in
  • m - The base monad
  • r - The return value

Categories

A Category is a set of components that you can connect with a composition operator, (.), that has an identity, id. The (.) and id must satisfy the following three Category laws:

-- Left identity
id . f = f

-- Right identity
f . id = f

-- Associativity
(f . g) . h = f . (g . h)

The Proxy type sits at the intersection of five separate categories, four of which are named after their identity:

                     Identity   | Composition |  Point-ful
                  +-------------+-------------+-------------+
 respond category |   respond   |     />/     |     //>     |
 request category |   request   |     \>\     |     >\\     |
    push category |   push      |     >~>     |     >>~     |
    pull category |   pull      |     >+>     |     +>>     |
 Kleisli category |   return    |     >=>     |     >>=     |
                  +-------------+-------------+-------------+

Each composition operator has a "point-ful" version, analogous to how (>>=) is the point-ful version of (>=>). For example, (//>) is the point-ful version of (/>/). The convention is that the odd character out faces the argument that is a function.

Respond

The respond category closely corresponds to the generator design pattern.

The respond category obeys the category laws, where respond is the identity and (/>/) is composition:

-- Left identity
respond />/ f = f

-- Right identity
f />/ respond = f

-- Associativity
(f />/ g) />/ h = f />/ (g />/ h)

Concrete Type Synonyms

data X Source

The empty type, used to close output ends

When Data.Void is merged into base, this will change to:

type X = Void

type Effect = Proxy X () () X Source

An effect in the base monad

Effects neither await nor yield

type Producer b = Proxy X () () b Source

Producers can only yield

type Pipe a b = Proxy () a () b Source

Pipes can both await and yield

type Consumer a = Proxy () a () X Source

Consumers can only await

type Client a' a = Proxy a' a () X Source

Client a' a sends requests of type a' and receives responses of type a.

Clients only request and never respond.

type Server b' b = Proxy X () b' b Source

Server b' b receives requests of type b' and sends responses of type b.

Servers only respond and never request.

Polymorphic Type Synonyms

type Effect' m r = forall x' x y' y. Proxy x' x y' y m r Source
