Description

Functions for human-readable derived Show instances.

Synopsis

Generic representation of values

data Value Source #

Generic Haskell values. NaN and Infinity are represented as constructors. The String in the literals is the text for the literals "as is".

A chain of infix constructors means that they appeared in the input string without parentheses, i.e

1 :+: 2 :*: 3 is represented with InfixCons 1 [(":+:",2),(":*:",3)], whereas

1 :+: (2 :*: 3) is represented with InfixCons 1 [(":+:",InfixCons 2 [(":*:",3)])].

Constructors

Con Name [Value]

Data constructor

InfixCons Value [(Name, Value)]

Infix data constructor chain

Rec Name [(Name, Value)]

Record value

Tuple [Value]

Tuple

List [Value]

List

Neg Value

Negated value

Ratio Value Value

Rational

Integer String

Non-negative integer

Float String

Non-negative floating num.

Char String

Character

String String

String

Instances

Eq Value Source # 

Methods

(==) :: Value -> Value -> Bool #

(/=) :: Value -> Value -> Bool #

Show Value Source # 

Methods

showsPrec :: Int -> Value -> ShowS #

show :: Value -> String #

showList :: [Value] -> ShowS #

type Name = String Source #

A name.

valToStr :: Value -> String Source #

Pretty print a generic value. Our intention is that the result is equivalent to the Show instance for the original value, except possibly easier to understand by a human.

valToDoc :: Value -> Doc Source #

Pretty print a generic value. Our intention is that the result is equivalent to the Show instance for the original value, except possibly easier to understand by a human.

valToHtmlPage :: HtmlOpts -> Value -> String Source #

Make an Html page representing the given value.

Values using the Show class

reify :: Show a => a -> Maybe Value Source #

ppDoc :: Show a => a -> Doc Source #

Try to show a value, prettily. If we do not understand the value, then we just use its standard Show instance.

ppShow :: Show a => a -> String Source #

Convert a generic value into a pretty String, if possible.

pPrint :: Show a => a -> IO () Source #

Pretty print a generic value to stdout. This is particularly useful in the GHCi interactive environment.

Values using the PrettyVal class

dumpDoc :: PrettyVal a => a -> Doc Source #

Render a value in the PrettyVal class to a Doc. The benefit of this function is that PrettyVal instances may be derived automatically using generics.

dumpStr :: PrettyVal a => a -> String Source #

Render a value in the PrettyVal class to a String. The benefit of this function is that PrettyVal instances may be derived automatically using generics.

class PrettyVal a where Source #

A class for types that may be reified into a value. Instances of this class may be derived automatically, for datatypes that support Generics.

htmlPage :: HtmlOpts -> Html -> String Source #

Wrap an Html fragment to make an Html page.

newtype Html Source #

Constructors

Html

Deprecated

ppValue :: Value -> Doc Source #

Deprecated: Please use valToDoc instead.
