Description

For a good explanation of profunctors in Haskell see Dan Piponi's article:

Synopsis

Profunctors

class Profunctor p where Source

Formally, the class Profunctor represents a profunctor from Hask -> Hask.

Intuitively it is a bifunctor where the first argument is contravariant and the second argument is covariant.

You can define a Profunctor by either defining dimap or by defining both lmap and rmap.

If you supply dimap, you should ensure that:

dimap id id ≡ id

If you supply lmap and rmap, ensure:

lmap id ≡ id
rmap id ≡ id

If you supply both, you should also ensure:

dimap f g ≡ lmap f . rmap g

These ensure by parametricity:

dimap (f . g) (h . i) ≡ dimap g h . dimap f i
lmap (f . g) ≡ lmap g . lmap f
rmap (f . g) ≡ rmap f . rmap g

Minimal complete definition

dimap | lmap, rmap

Methods

dimap :: (a -> b) -> (c -> d) -> p b c -> p a d Source

Map over both arguments at the same time.

dimap f g ≡ lmap f . rmap g

lmap :: (a -> b) -> p b c -> p a c Source

Map the first argument contravariantly.

lmap f ≡ dimap f id

rmap :: (b -> c) -> p a b -> p a c Source

Map the second argument covariantly.

rmap ≡ dimap id

Instances

Profunctorial Strength

class Profunctor p => Strong p where Source

Generalizing Star of a strong Functor

Note: Every Functor in Haskell is strong with respect to (,).

This describes profunctor strength with respect to the product structure of Hask.

Minimal complete definition

first' | second'

Methods

first' :: p a b -> p (a, c) (b, c) Source

second' :: p a b -> p (c, a) (c, b) Source

Instances

class Profunctor p => Choice p where Source

The generalization of Costar of Functor that is strong with respect to Either.

Note: This is also a notion of strength, except with regards to another monoidal structure that we can choose to equip Hask with: the cocartesian coproduct.

Minimal complete definition

left' | right'

Methods

left' :: p a b -> p (Either a c) (Either b c) Source

right' :: p a b -> p (Either c a) (Either c b) Source

Instances

Profunctorial Costrength

class Profunctor p => Costrong p where Source

Analogous to ArrowLoop, loop = unfirst

Minimal complete definition

Methods

unfirst :: p (a, d) (b, d) -> p a b Source

unsecond :: p (d, a) (d, b) -> p a b Source

Instances

class Profunctor p => Cochoice p where Source

Minimal complete definition

Methods
