forceEitherMsg :: Show e => String -> Either e a -> a

fromRight :: Either a b -> b
fromEither :: Either a a -> a
Documentation
maybeToEitherSource
:: MonadError e m
=> e(Right a) will be returned if this is (Just a)
-> Maybe a
-> m a

Converts a Maybe value to an Either value, using the supplied parameter as the Left value if the Maybe is Nothing.

This function can be interpreted as: 

maybeToEither :: e -> Maybe a -> Either e a

Its definition is given as it is so that it can be used in the Error and related monads.

forceEither :: Show e => Either e a -> aSource
Pulls a Right value out of an Either value. If the Either value is Left, raises an exception with error.
forceEitherMsg :: Show e => String -> Either e a -> aSource
Like forceEither, but can raise a specific message with the error.
eitherToMonadError :: MonadError e m => Either e a -> m aSource
Takes an either and transforms it into something of the more generic MonadError class.
fromLeft :: Either a b -> aSource
Take a Left to a value, crashes on a Right
fromRight :: Either a b -> bSource
Take a Right to a value, crashes on a Left
fromEither :: Either a a -> aSource
Take an Either, and return the value inside it
