Or-error monad extensions.

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

type 'a t = 'a Base.Or_error.t

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

Travesty signatures

Monad extensions for Or_error.

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

S subsumes S_let.

include Travesty.Monad_exts_types.S_let with type 'a t := 'a t
val let+ : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b t

let+ is map.

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

let* is bind.

Haskell-style operators

val 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.

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

x >> y is then_m x y.

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

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

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

x >=> y is compose_m x y.

Guarded monadic computations

val 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.

val 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.

val 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.

val 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

val 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) *)
val tee : 'a -> f:('a -> unit) -> 'a t

tee val ~f behaves as tee_m, 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-traversable 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_traversable_types.S1_left with type 'l t := 'l t and type right = Base.Error.t
include Travesty.Generic_types.Bi_left with type 'l t := 'l t with type right = Base.Error.t
type right = Base.Error.t

Fixed type of right elements.

include Travesty.Bi_traversable_types.Generic with type ('l, 'r) t := 'l t and type 'l left := 'l and type 'r right := right
include Travesty.Generic_types.Bi_generic with type ('l, 'r) t := 'l t with type 'l left := 'l with type 'r right := right

We can do non-monadic bi-mapping operations.

include Travesty.Bi_mappable_types.Generic with type ('l, 'r) t := 'l t and type 'l left := 'l and type 'r right := right
include Travesty.Bi_mappable_types.Basic_generic with type ('l, 'r) t := 'l t with type 'l left := 'l with type 'r right := right
include Travesty.Generic_types.Bi_generic with type ('l, 'r) t := 'l t with type 'l left := 'l with type 'r right := right
val 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.

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

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

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

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

module On (M : Base.Applicative.S) : Travesty.Bi_traversable_types.Generic_on_applicative with type ('l, 'r) t := 'l t and type 'l left := 'l and type 'r right := right and module M := M

On implements bi-traversal operators for a given applicative functor M.

module On_monad (M : Base.Monad.S) : Travesty.Bi_traversable_types.Generic_on_applicative with type ('l, 'r) t := 'l t and type 'l left := 'l and type 'r right := right and module M := Travesty.Monad_exts.App(M)

On_monad implements bi-traversal operators for a given monad M.

module With_errors : Travesty.Bi_traversable_types.Generic_on_applicative with type ('l, 'r) t := 'l t and type 'l left := 'l and type 'r right := right and module M := Base.Or_error

With_errors specialises On_monad to the error_monad.

module On_ok : Travesty.Traversable_types.S1 with type 'a t = 'a t

On_ok is shorthand for Traverse1_left on this module.

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.

val 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.

val 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.
