It could be @MonadReader AppEnv m@ for both, introducing unnecessary coupling. 2. Or it could be @MonadReader DbConfig m@ for the DB module and @MonadReader WebConfig m@ for the web module respectively, but combining them becomes a pain. Or, it could be @MonadReader r m, Has DbConfig r@ for the DB module (and similarly for the web module), where some appropriately defined @Has part record@ class allows projecting @part@ out of some @record@. This approach keeps both modules decoupled, while allowing using them in the same monad stack. The only downside is that now one has to define the @Has@ class and write tediuos instances for the @AppEnv@ type (and potentially other types in case of, for example, tests). But why bother doing the work that the machine will happily do for you? = The solution This module defines the generic 'Has' class as well as hides all the boilerplate behind "GHC.Generics", so all you have to do is to add the corresponding @deriving@-clause: @ data AppEnv = AppEnv { dbConfig :: DbConfig , webConfig :: WebConfig } deriving (Generic, Has DbConfig, Has WebConfig) @ and use @ask extract@ instead of @ask@ (but this is something you'd have to do anyway). = Type safety What should happen if @record@ does not have any field of type @part@ at all? Of course, this means that we cannot project @part@ out of @record@, and no 'Has' instance can be derived at all. Indeed, this library will refuse to generate an instance in this case. On the other hand, what should happen if @record@ contains multiple values of type @part@, perhaps on different levels of nesting? While technically we could make an arbitrary choice, like taking the first one in breadth-first or depth-first order, we instead decide that such a choice is inherently ambiguous, so this library will refuse to generate an instance in this case as well. = Updating the records, or poor man's lenses, and State One we know that a value of type @part@ is contained in @record@, we might easily update a @record@ having a function that updates the @part@. This is done in the obvious way: we just locate the @part@ in the @record@ and 'update' it! 'Has' has a method for this, called (unsurprisingly) 'update'. Note that this might be used for more composable functions living in 'Control.Monad.State': now instead of @MonadState StateType m@ we write @(MonadState s m, Has StateType s)@ and use 'update' and 'extract' where necessary (likely in combination with 'modify' and 'gets'). -} module Control.Monad.Reader.Has ( Has(..) , SuccessfulSearch ) where import Data.Proxy import GHC.Generics import Data.Path type family Search part (g :: k -> *) :: MaybePath where Search part (K1 _ part) = 'Found 'Here Search part (K1 _ other) = 'NotFound Search part (M1 _ _ x) = Search part x Search part (f :*: g) = Combine (Search part f) (Search part g) Search _ _ = 'NotFound class GHas (path :: Path) part grecord where gextract :: Proxy path -> grecord p -> part gupdate :: Proxy path -> (part -> part) -> grecord p -> grecord p instance GHas 'Here rec (K1 i rec) where gextract _ (K1 x) = x gupdate _ f (K1 x) = K1 $ f x instance GHas path part record => GHas path part (M1 i t record) where gextract proxy (M1 x) = gextract proxy x gupdate proxy f (M1 x) = M1 (gupdate proxy f x) instance GHas path part l => GHas ('L path) part (l :*: r) where gextract _ (l :*: _) = gextract (Proxy :: Proxy path) l gupdate _ f (l :*: r) = gupdate (Proxy :: Proxy path) f l :*: r instance GHas path part r => GHas ('R path) part (l :*: r) where gextract _ (_ :*: r) = gextract (Proxy :: Proxy path) r gupdate _ f (l :*: r) = l :*: gupdate (Proxy :: Proxy path) f r -- | Type alias representing that the search of @part@ in @record@ has been successful. -- -- The @path@ is used to guide the default generic implementation of 'Has'. type SuccessfulSearch part record path = (Search part (Rep record) ~ 'Found path, GHas path part (Rep record)) -- | The @Has part record@ class is used for records of type @record@ supporting -- projecting out a value of type @part@. class Has part record where -- | Extract a subvalue of type @part@ from the @record@. -- -- The default implementation searches for some value of the type @part@ in @record@ -- and returns that value. -- The default implementation typechecks iff there is a single subvalue of type @part@ in @record@. extract :: record -> part default extract :: forall path.
