MonadTrans
class MonadTrans (t :: (* -> *) -> * -> *) where #
The class of monad transformers. Instances should satisfy the
following laws, which state that lift
is a monad transformation:
lift :: Monad m => m a -> t m a #
Lift a computation from the argument monad to the constructed monad.
Instances
Free monad transformer
data FreeF (f :: * -> *) a b #
The base functor for a free monad.
Instances
liftF :: (Functor f, MonadFree f m) => f a -> m a #
A version of lift that can be used with just a Functor for f.
newtype FreeT (f :: * -> *) (m :: * -> *) a #
The "free monad transformer" for a functor f
Instances
iterT :: (Functor f, Monad m) => (f (m a) -> m a) -> FreeT f m a -> m a #
Tear down a free monad transformer using iteration.
iterTM :: (Functor f, Monad m, MonadTrans t, Monad (t m)) => (f (t m a) -> t m a) -> FreeT f m a -> t m a #
Tear down a free monad transformer using iteration over a transformer.
foldFreeT :: (MonadTrans t, Monad (t m), Monad m) => (forall (n :: * -> *) x. Monad n => f x -> t n x) -> FreeT f m a -> t m a #
The very definition of a free monad transformer is that given a natural transformation you get a monad transformer homomorphism.
joinFreeT :: (Monad m, Traversable f) => FreeT f m a -> m (Free f a) #
Pull out and join m
layers of
.FreeT
f m a
retractT :: (MonadTrans t, Monad (t m), Monad m) => FreeT (t m) m a -> t m a #
Tear down a free monad transformer using Monad instance for t m
.
class Monad m => MonadFree (f :: * -> *) (m :: * -> *) | m -> f where #
Monads provide substitution (fmap
) and renormalization (join
):
m>>=
f =join
(fmap
f m)
A free Monad
is one that does no work during the normalization step beyond simply grafting the two monadic values together.
[]
is not a free Monad
(in this sense) because
smashes the lists flat.join
[[a]]
On the other hand, consider:
data Tree a = Bin (Tree a) (Tree a) | Tip a
instanceMonad
Tree wherereturn
= Tip Tip a>>=
f = f a Bin l r>>=
f = Bin (l>>=
f) (r>>=
f)
This Monad
is the free Monad
of Pair:
data Pair a = Pair a a
And we could make an instance of MonadFree
for it directly:
instanceMonadFree
Pair Tree wherewrap
(Pair l r) = Bin l r
Or we could choose to program with
instead of Free
PairTree
and thereby avoid having to define our own Monad
instance.
Moreover, Control.Monad.Free.Church provides a MonadFree
instance that can improve the asymptotic complexity of code that
constructs free monads by effectively reassociating the use of
(>>=
). You may also want to take a look at the kan-extensions
package (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/kan-extensions).
See Free
for a more formal definition of the free Monad
for a Functor
