Class type

The complete interface of a Freer monad.

type 'a f

The parametric type (which, unlike a Preface_specs.Free_monad don't need to be a Preface_specs.Functor).

type _ t =
  1. | Return : 'a -> 'a t
  2. | Bind : 'b f * ('b -> 'a t) -> 'a t

The type held by Freer monad.

type 'a handler = {
  1. handler : 'b. ('b -> 'a) -> 'b f -> 'a;
}

The handler type. Which is a Natural transformation from the Freer Monad to an unwrapped Identity monad.

val perform : 'a f -> 'a t

Create a new 'a t from a 'a f.

val run : 'a handler -> 'a t -> 'a

Execute a given handler for given data

Functor API

A Freer monad is also an Preface_specs.Functor.

module Functor : Functor.API with type 'a t = 'a t

Applicative API

A Freer monad is also an Preface_specs.Applicative.

module Applicative : Applicative.API with type 'a t = 'a t

Monad API

A Freer monad is also (obviously) a Preface_specs.Monad.

module Monad : Monad.API with type 'a t = 'a t

Type

Functions

val bind : ('a -> 'b t) -> 'a t -> 'b t

bind f m passes the result of computation m to function f.

val map : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a t -> 'b t

Mapping over from 'a to 'b over 'a t to 'b t.

val join : 'a t t -> 'a t

join remove one level of monadic structure, projecting its bound argument into the outer level.

val return : 'a -> 'a t

Create a new 'a t.

val compose_left_to_right : ('a -> 'b t) -> ('b -> 'c t) -> 'a -> 'c t

Composing monadic functions using Kleisli Arrow (from left to right).

val compose_right_to_left : ('b -> 'c t) -> ('a -> 'b t) -> 'a -> 'c t

Composing monadic functions using Kleisli Arrow (from right to left).

val lift : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a t -> 'b t

Mapping over from 'a to 'b over 'a t to 'b t.

val lift2 : ('a -> 'b -> 'c) -> 'a t -> 'b t -> 'c t

Mapping over from 'a and 'b to 'c over 'a t and 'b t to 'c t.

val lift3 : ('a -> 'b -> 'c -> 'd) -> 'a t -> 'b t -> 'c t -> 'd t

Mapping over from 'a and 'b and 'c to 'd over 'a t and 'b t and 'c t to 'd t.

val replace : 'a -> 'b t -> 'a t

Create a new 'a t, replacing all values in the 'b t by given a value of 'a.

val void : 'a t -> unit t

Create a new unit t, replacing all values in the 'a t by unit.

Infix operators

module Infix : Monad.INFIX with type 'a t := 'a t
val (=|<) : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a t -> 'b t

Infix version of CORE.map.

val (>|=) : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b t

Infix flipped version of CORE.map.

val (>>=) : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b t) -> 'b t

Infix flipped version of CORE.bind.

val (=<<) : ('a -> 'b t) -> 'a t -> 'b t

Infix version of CORE.bind.

val (>=>) : ('a -> 'b t) -> ('b -> 'c t) -> 'a -> 'c t

Infix version of CORE.compose_left_to_right.

val (<=<) : ('b -> 'c t) -> ('a -> 'b t) -> 'a -> 'c t

Infix version of OPERATION.compose_right_to_left.

val (>>) : unit t -> 'b t -> 'b t

Sequentially compose two actions, discarding any value produced by the first.

val (<<) : 'a t -> unit t -> 'a t

Sequentially compose two actions, discarding any value produced by the second.

val (<$>) : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a t -> 'b t
val (<&>) : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b t

Flipped and infix version of Preface_specs.Functor.CORE.map.

val (<$) : 'a -> 'b t -> 'a t
val ($>) : 'a t -> 'b -> 'b t

Flipped and infix version of Preface_specs.Functor.OPERATION.replace.

Syntax

module Syntax : Monad.SYNTAX with type 'a t := 'a t
val let* : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b t) -> 'b t

Syntaxic shortcuts for flipped version of CORE.bind:

let* x = e in f is equals to bind (fun x -> f) e.

val let+ : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b t

Syntaxic shortcuts for flipped version of CORE.map:

let+ x = e in f is equals to map (fun x -> f) e.
