Generic data types in Haskell Build Status

Utilities for GHC.Generics.

Generic deriving for standard classes

Supported classes that GHC currently can't derive: Semigroup, Monoid, Applicative, Alternative, Eq1, Ord1, Show1.

Other classes from base are also supported, even though GHC can already derive them:

  • Eq, Ord, Enum, Bounded, Show (standard);
  • Functor, Foldable, Traversable (via extensions, DeriveFunctor, etc.).

To derive type classes defined elsewhere, it might be worth taking a look at one-liner.

Type metadata

Extract type names, constructor names, number and arities of constructors, etc..

generic-data aims to subsume the following packages, which may still be useful for old versions of GHC and base not supported by generic-data.

  • semigroups: generic Semigroup, Monoid.
  • transformers-compat: generic Eq1, Ord1, Show1, Read1.
  • generic-deriving: doesn't derive the classes in base (defines clones of these classes as a toy example); has Template Haskell code to derive Generic.

Here are other relevant links.

  • deriving-compat: deriving with Template Haskell.
  • one-liner: another approach to using GHC.Generics to derive instances of many type classes, including but not restricted to the above classes (this is done in one-liner-instances).
  • singletons: generic-data borrows code from this package to implement defunctionalization.
