filesystem, as well as useful functions for reading and writing file and directory structures in the IO monad.
Errors are caught in a special constructor in the DirTree type.
Defined instances of Functor, Traversable and Foldable allow for easily operating on a directory of files. For example, you could use Foldable.foldr to create a hash of the entire contents of a directory.
The functions readDirectoryWithL
and buildL
allow for doing
directory-traversing IO lazily as required by the execution of pure
code. This allows you to treat large directories the same way as you
would a lazy infinite list.
The AnchoredDirTree type is a simple wrapper for DirTree to keep track of a base directory context for the DirTree.
Please send me any requests, bugs, or other feedback on this module!

Data types for representing directory trees
the String in the name field is always a file name, never a full path.
The free type variable is used in the File constructor and can hold Handles,
Strings representing a file's contents or anything else you can think of.
We catch any IO errors in the Failed constructor. an Exception can be
converted to a String with show
.
data AnchoredDirTree a Source
a simple wrapper to hold a base directory name, which can be either an absolute or relative path. This lets us give the DirTree a context, while still letting us store only directory and file NAMES (not full paths) in the DirTree. (uses an infix constructor; don't be scared)

High level IO functions
readDirectory :: FilePath -> IO (AnchoredDirTree String)Source
build an AnchoredDirTree, given the path to a directory, opening the files
using readFile.
Uses readDirectoryWith
internally and has the effect of traversing the
entire directory structure. See readDirectoryWithL
for lazy production
of a DirTree structure.
readDirectoryWith :: (FilePath -> IO a) -> FilePath -> IO (AnchoredDirTree a)Source
same as readDirectory but allows us to, for example, use ByteString.readFile to return a tree of ByteStrings.
readDirectoryWithL :: (FilePath -> IO a) -> FilePath -> IO (AnchoredDirTree a)Source
A lazy version of readDirectoryWith
that does IO operations as needed
i.e. as the tree is traversed in pure code.
NOTE: This function uses unsafePerformIO under the hood. I believe our use
here is safe, but this function is experimental in this release:
writeDirectory :: AnchoredDirTree String -> IO (AnchoredDirTree ())Source
write a DirTree of strings to disk. Clobbers files of the same name.
Doesn't affect files in the directories (if any already exist) with
different names. Returns a new AnchoredDirTree where failures were
lifted into a Failed
constructor:
writeDirectoryWith :: (FilePath -> a -> IO b) -> AnchoredDirTree a -> IO (AnchoredDirTree b)Source
writes the directory structure to disk and uses the provided function to
write the contents of Files
to disk. The return value of the function will
become the new contents
of the returned, where IO errors at each node are
replaced with Failed
constructors. The returned tree can be compared to
the passed tree to see what operations, if any, failed:
Lower level functions
zipPaths :: AnchoredDirTree a -> DirTree (FilePath, a)Source
tuple up the complete filename with the File contents, by building up the
path, trie-style, from the root. The filepath will be relative to the current
directory.
This allows us to, for example, mapM_ 'uncurry writeFile' over a DirTree of
strings, although writeDirectory
does a better job of this.
build :: FilePath -> IO (AnchoredDirTree FilePath)Source
builds a DirTree from the contents of the directory passed to it, saving
the base directory in the Anchored* wrapper. Errors are caught in the tree in
the Failed constructor. The file
fields initially are populated with full
paths to the files they are abstracting.
buildL :: FilePath -> IO (AnchoredDirTree FilePath)Source
identical to build
but does directory reading IO lazily as needed:
openDirectory :: FilePath -> IOMode -> IO (AnchoredDirTree Handle)Source
a simple application of readDirectoryWith openFile:
writeJustDirs :: AnchoredDirTree a -> IO (AnchoredDirTree a)Source
writes the directory structure (not files) of a DirTree to the anchored
directory. Returns a structure identical to the supplied tree with errors
replaced by Failed
constructors:
Utility functions
Handling failure
successful :: DirTree a -> BoolSource
True if there are no Failed constructors in the tree
failedMap :: (FileName -> IOException -> DirTree a) -> DirTree a -> DirTree aSource
maps a function to convert Failed DirTrees to Files or Dirs
Tree Manipulations
flattenDir :: DirTree a -> [DirTree a]Source
filterDir :: (DirTree a -> Bool) -> DirTree a -> DirTree aSource
applies the predicate to each constructor in the tree, removing it (and its children, of course) when the predicate returns False. The topmost constructor will always be preserved:
free :: AnchoredDirTree a -> DirTree aSource
strips away base directory wrapper:
Operators
(</$>) :: Functor f => (DirTree a -> DirTree b) -> f (AnchoredDirTree a) -> f (AnchoredDirTree b)Source
Allows for a function on a bare DirTree to be applied to an AnchoredDirTree
within a Functor. Very similar to and useful in combination with <$>
