Control.Monad.Trans.Writer.Strict

The strict WriterT monad transformer, which adds collection of outputs (such as a count or string output) to a given monad.

This monad transformer provides only limited access to the output during the computation. For more general access, use Control.Monad.Trans.State instead.

This version builds its output strictly; for a lazy version with the same interface, see Control.Monad.Trans.Writer.Lazy. Although the output is built strictly, it is not possible to achieve constant space behaviour with this transformer: for that, use Control.Monad.Trans.State.Strict instead.

The Writer monad

type Writer w = WriterT w Identity

A writer monad parameterized by the type w of output to accumulate.

The return function produces the output mempty, while >>= combines the outputs of the subcomputations using mappend.

writer :: Monad m => (a, w) -> WriterT w m a

Construct a writer computation from a (result, output) pair. (The inverse of runWriter.)

runWriter :: Writer w a -> (a, w)

Unwrap a writer computation as a (result, output) pair. (The inverse of writer.)

execWriter :: Writer w a -> w

Extract the output from a writer computation.

• execWriter m = snd (runWriter m)

mapWriter :: ((a, w) -> (b, w')) -> Writer w a -> Writer w' b

Map both the return value and output of a computation using the given function.

• runWriter (mapWriter f m) = f (runWriter m)

The WriterT monad transformer

newtype WriterT w m a

A writer monad parameterized by:

• w - the output to accumulate.
• m - The inner monad.

The return function produces the output mempty, while >>= combines the outputs of the subcomputations using mappend.
