Synopsis

Getter

type Getter s a = forall (f :: * -> *). (Contravariant f, Functor f) => (a -> f a) -> s -> f s #

A Getter describes how to retrieve a single value in a way that can be composed with other LensLike constructions.

Unlike a Lens a Getter is read-only. Since a Getter cannot be used to write back there are no Lens laws that can be applied to it. In fact, it is isomorphic to an arbitrary function from (s -> a).

Moreover, a Getter can be used directly as a Fold, since it just ignores the Applicative.

to :: (Profunctor p, Contravariant f) => (s -> a) -> Optic' p f s a #

Build an (index-preserving) Getter from an arbitrary Haskell function.
