Module Travesty_base_exts.Or_errorSource

Or-error monad extensions.

This module contains various extensions for Base's Or_error monad, including monadic traversal over successful values and monad extensions.

Sourcetype 'a t = 'a Base.Or_error.t

Defined to let this module be used directly in chaining operations etc.

Travesty signatures

Sourcemodule On_ok : Travesty.Traversable.S1 with type 'a t = 'a t

On_ok treats an Or_error value as a traversable container, containing one value when it is Ok and none otherwise.

Monad extensions for Or_error.

include Travesty.Monad_exts.S with type 'a t := 'a t

Haskell-style operators

Sourceval then_m : _ t -> 'a t -> 'a t

then_m x y sequentially composes the actions x and y as with >>=, but, rather than using the returned value of x, it instead just returns y.

Sourceval (>>) : _ t -> 'a t -> 'a t

x >> y is then_m x y.

Sourceval compose_m : ('a -> 'b t) -> ('b -> 'c t) -> 'a -> 'c t

compose_m f g is the Kleisli composition of f and g.

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

x >=> y is k_compose x y.

Guarded monadic computations

Sourceval map_when_m : ?otherwise:('a -> 'a t) -> bool -> 'a -> f:('a -> 'a t) -> 'a t

map_when_m ?otherwise condition ~f a is f a when condition is true, and otherwise a (by default, return) otherwise.

Sourceval when_m : ?otherwise:(unit -> unit t) -> bool -> f:(unit -> unit t) -> unit t

when_m ?otherwise condition ~f is f () when condition is true, and otherwise () (by default, return) otherwise.

Sourceval map_unless_m : ?otherwise:('a -> 'a t) -> bool -> 'a -> f:('a -> 'a t) -> 'a t

map_unless_m ?otherwise condition ~f a is f a when condition is false, and otherwise a (by default, return) otherwise.

Sourceval unless_m : ?otherwise:(unit -> unit t) -> bool -> f:(unit -> unit t) -> unit t

unless_m ?otherwise condition ~f is f () when condition is false, and otherwise () (by default, return) otherwise.

Executing monadic effects in the middle of pipelines

Sourceval tee_m : 'a -> f:('a -> unit t) -> 'a t

tee_m val ~f executes f val for its monadic action, then returns val.

Example (using an extended Or_error):

  let fail_if_negative x =
    On_error.when_m (Int.is_negative x)
      ~f:(fun () -> Or_error.error_string "value is negative!")
  in
  Or_error.(
    42 |> tee_m ~f:fail_if_negative >>| (fun x -> x * x)
  ) (* Ok (1764) *)
Sourceval tee : 'a -> f:('a -> unit) -> 'a t

tee val ~f behaves as tee, but takes a non-monadic f.

Example (using an extended Or_error):

  let print_if_negative x =
    if Int.negative x then Stdio.print_string "value is negative!"
  in
  Or_error.(
    try_get_value ()
    >>= tee ~f:print_if_negative
    >>= try_use_value ()
  )

Or_error is a bi-mappable type, with the right type fixed to Error.t. (This is backwards from Haskell conventions, but matches the position Error.t takes in Result in Base.

include Travesty.Bi_mappable.S1_left with type 'l t := 'l t and type right = Base.Error.t
include Travesty.Types_intf.Bi_left with type 'l t := 'l t with type right = Base.Error.t
Sourcetype right = Base.Error.t

Fixed type of right elements.

include Travesty.Bi_mappable.Generic with type ('l, 'r) t := 'l t and type 'l left := 'l and type 'r right := right
include Travesty.Bi_mappable.Basic_generic with type ('l, 'r) t := 'l t with type 'l left := 'l with type 'r right := right
include Travesty.Types_intf.Bi_generic with type ('l, 'r) t := 'l t with type 'l left := 'l with type 'r right := right
Sourceval bi_map : 'l1 t -> left:('l1 -> 'l2) -> right:(right -> right) -> 'l2 t

bi_map c ~left ~right maps left over every 'l1 left, and right over every 'r1 right, in c.

Sourceval map_left : 'l1 t -> f:('l1 -> 'l2) -> 'l2 t

map_left c ~f maps f over the left type of c only.

Sourceval map_right : 'l t -> f:(right -> right) -> 'l t

map_right c ~f maps f over the right type of c only.

Shortcuts for combining errors

These functions are just shorthand for mapping over a list, then using the various combine_errors functions in Base.

Prefer using these, where possible, over the analogous functions in T_list.With_errors; these ones correctly merge errors.

Sourceval combine_map : 'a list -> f:('a -> 'b t) -> 'b list t

combine_map xs ~f is short for map xs ~f followed by combine_errors.

Sourceval combine_map_unit : 'a list -> f:('a -> unit t) -> unit t

combine_map_unit xs ~f is short for map xs ~f followed by combine_errors_unit.
