Operations
liftF :: (Functor f, MonadFree f m) => f a -> m a #
A version of lift that can be used with just a Functor for f.
iterT :: (Applicative f, Monad m) => (f (m a) -> m a) -> FreeT f m a -> m a Source #
Tear down a free monad transformer using iteration.
iterTM :: (Applicative f, Monad m, MonadTrans t, Monad (t m)) => (f (t m a) -> t m a) -> FreeT f m a -> t m a Source #
Tear down a free monad transformer using iteration over a transformer.
hoistFreeT :: (Monad m, Applicative f) => (forall a. m a -> n a) -> FreeT f m b -> FreeT f n b Source #
transFreeT :: (Applicative f, Monad m) => (forall a. f a -> g a) -> FreeT f m b -> FreeT g m b Source #
joinFreeT :: forall m f a. (Monad m, Traversable f, Applicative f) => FreeT f m a -> m (Free f a) Source #
Pull out and join m layers of .FreeT f m a
retractT :: (MonadTrans t, Monad (t m), Monad m) => FreeT (t m) m a -> t m a Source #
Tear down a free monad transformer using Monad instance for t m.
Operations of free monad
iter :: Applicative f => (f a -> a) -> Free f a -> a Source #
iterM :: (Applicative f, Monad m) => (f (m a) -> m a) -> Free f a -> m a Source #
Like iter for monadic values.
Free Monads With Class
class Monad m => MonadFree (f :: Type -> Type) (m :: Type -> Type) | m -> f where #
Monads provide substitution (fmap) and renormalization (join):
m>>=f =join(fmapf m)
A free Monad is one that does no work during the normalization step beyond simply grafting the two monadic values together.
[] is not a free Monad (in this sense) because smashes the lists flat.join [[a]]
On the other hand, consider:
data Tree a = Bin (Tree a) (Tree a) | Tip a
instanceMonadTree wherereturn= Tip Tip a>>=f = f a Bin l r>>=f = Bin (l>>=f) (r>>=f)
This Monad is the free Monad of Pair:
data Pair a = Pair a a
And we could make an instance of MonadFree for it directly:
instanceMonadFreePair Tree wherewrap(Pair l r) = Bin l r
Or we could choose to program with instead of Free PairTree
and thereby avoid having to define our own Monad instance.
Moreover, Control.Monad.Free.Church provides a MonadFree
instance that can improve the asymptotic complexity of code that
constructs free monads by effectively reassociating the use of
(>>=). You may also want to take a look at the kan-extensions
package (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/kan-extensions).
See Free for a more formal definition of the free Monad
for a Functor.
