Control.Monad.Trans.Writer.Lazy

Contents

Description

The lazy WriterT monad transformer, which adds collection of outputs (such as a count or string output) to a given monad.

This monad transformer provides only limited access to the output during the computation. For more general access, use Control.Monad.Trans.State instead.

This version builds its output lazily; for a strict version with the same interface, see Control.Monad.Trans.Writer.Strict.

Synopsis

The Writer monad

type Writer w = WriterT w IdentitySource

A writer monad parameterized by the type w of output to accumulate.

The return function produces the output mempty, while >>= combines the outputs of the subcomputations using mappend.

writer :: Monad m => (a, w) -> WriterT w m aSource

Construct a writer computation from a (result, output) pair. (The inverse of runWriter.)

runWriter :: Writer w a -> (a, w)Source

Unwrap a writer computation as a (result, output) pair. (The inverse of writer.)

execWriter :: Writer w a -> wSource

Extract the output from a writer computation.

mapWriter :: ((a, w) -> (b, w')) -> Writer w a -> Writer w' bSource

Map both the return value and output of a computation using the given function.

The WriterT monad transformer

newtype WriterT w m a Source

A writer monad parameterized by:

  • w - the output to accumulate.
  • m - The inner monad.

The return function produces the output mempty, while >>= combines the outputs of the subcomputations using mappend.

runWriterT :: WriterT w m a -> m (a, w)Source

The inverse of WriterT.

execWriterT :: Monad m => WriterT w m a -> m wSource

Extract the output from a writer computation.

mapWriterT :: (m (a, w) -> n (b, w')) -> WriterT w m a -> WriterT w' n bSource

Map both the return value and output of a computation using the given function.

Writer operations

tell :: (Monoid w, Monad m) => w -> WriterT w m ()Source

tell w is an action that produces the output w.

listen :: (Monoid w, Monad m) => WriterT w m a -> WriterT w m (a, w)Source

listen m is an action that executes the action m and adds its output to the value of the computation.

listens :: (Monoid w, Monad m) => (w -> b) -> WriterT w m a -> WriterT w m (a, b)Source

listens f m is an action that executes the action m and adds the result of applying f to the output to the value of the computation.

pass :: (Monoid w, Monad m) => WriterT w m (a, w -> w) -> WriterT w m aSource

pass m is an action that executes the action m, which returns a value and a function, and returns the value, applying the function to the output.

censor :: (Monoid w, Monad m) => (w -> w) -> WriterT w m a -> WriterT w m aSource

censor f m is an action that executes the action m and applies the function f to its output, leaving the return value unchanged.

Lifting other operations

liftCallCC :: Monoid w => CallCC m (a, w) (b, w) -> CallCC (WriterT w m) a bSource

Lift a callCC operation to the new monad.

liftCatch :: Catch e m (a, w) -> Catch e (WriterT w m) aSource

Lift a catchE operation to the new monad.
