Description

Derive traversals of a given type in a product.

Synopsis

Traversals

Running example:

>>> :set -XScopedTypeVariables
>>> import GHC.Generics
>>> :m +Data.Generics.Internal.VL.Traversal
>>> :m +Data.Generics.Internal.VL.Lens
>>> :{
data WTree a w
  = Leaf a
  | Fork (WTree a w) (WTree a w)
  | WithWeight (WTree a w) w
  deriving (Generic, Show)

Traverse all types in the given structure.

For example, to update all Strings in a WTree (Maybe String) String, we can write

>>> myTree = WithWeight (Fork (Leaf (Just "hello")) (Leaf Nothing)) "world"
>>> over (types @String) (++ "!") myTree
WithWeight (Fork (Leaf (Just "hello!")) (Leaf Nothing)) "world!"

The traversal is deep, which means that not just the immediate children are visited, but all nested values too.

Custom traversal strategies

The default traversal strategy types recurses into each node of the type using the Generic instance for the nodes. However, in general not all nodes will have a Generic instance. For example:

>>> data Opaque = Opaque String deriving Show
>>> myTree = WithWeight (Fork (Leaf (Opaque "foo")) (Leaf (Opaque "bar"))) False
>>> over (types @String) (++ "!") myTree
...
... | No instance for ‘Generic Opaque’
... |   arising from a generic traversal.
... |   Either derive the instance, or define a custom traversal using HasTypesCustom
...

In these cases, we can define a custom traversal strategy to override the generic behaviour for certain types. For a self-contained example, see the CustomChildren module in the tests directory.

type family Children ch a :: [Type] #

The children of a type are the types of its fields. The Children type family maps a type a to its set of children.

This type family is parameterized by a symbol ch (that can be declared as an empty data type). The symbol ChGeneric provides a default definition. You can create new symbols to override the set of children of abstract, non-generic types.

The following example declares a Custom symbol to redefine Children for some abstract types from the time library.

data Custom
type instance Children Custom a = ChildrenCustom a

type family ChildrenCustom (a :: Type) where
  ChildrenCustom DiffTime        = '[]
  ChildrenCustom NominalDiffTime = '[]
  -- Add more custom mappings here.

  ChildrenCustom a = Children ChGeneric a

To use this definition, replace types with typesUsing @Custom.

data ChGeneric #

The default definition of Children. Primitive types from core libraries have no children, and other types are assumed to be Generic.

Instances

Instances details
HasTypes b a => GHasTypes ChGeneric (Rec0 b :: k -> Type) (Rec0 b :: k -> Type) a a

The default instance for HasTypes acts as a synonym for 'HasTypesUsing ChGeneric', so in most cases this instance should behave the same as the one above. However, there might be overlapping instances defined for HasTypes directly, in which case we want to prefer those instances (even though the custom instances should always be added to HasTypesCustom)

class HasTypesCustom ch s t a b where #

By adding instances to this class, we can override the default behaviour in an ad-hoc manner. For example:

instance HasTypesCustom Custom Opaque Opaque String String where
  typesCustom f (Opaque str) = Opaque $ f str

Since: generic-lens-core-1.2.0.0

Methods

typesCustom :: Traversal s t a b #

This function should never be used directly, only to override the default traversal behaviour. To actually use the custom traversal strategy, see typesUsing. This is because typesUsing does additional optimisations, like ensuring that nodes with no relevant members will not be traversed at runtime.
