MultiWrap class

class Monad mOut => MultiWrap mIn mOut a r | mIn mOut a -> r whereSource

MultiWrap is like MonadWrapIO, but for monads created by MonadTrans transformers. This is useful, if, for example, you implement your own monad, ReaderTLike, that is like a ReaderT except that you don't want to make it a member of the MonadReader class because you are already using MonadReader for some different state (or because you are implementing a library and the user of the library should be free to use ReaderT).

As long as ReaderTLike is a member of the MonadTrans class and assuming you have a localLike function equivalent to local, you should be able to run things like:

    mwrap (localLike modifyConfig :: ReaderTLike IO a -> ReaderTLike IO a)
          someComputation

You will generally have to specify the type of the wrap function or computation explicitly, but as long as you specify the type, mwrap saves you from keeping track of how many nested levels of transformer you have and from having to invoke wrap repeatedly.

Note one difference from MonadWrap and MonadWrapIO is that mresult and mresultF require an extra argument so as to specify the inner monad in which you want to supply the result. (E.g., in the case of using catch to produce a different return value in case of exceptions, the inner monad would be IO, and the extra argument might be supplied as (undefined :: IO Type).

Note that MultiWrap only works for up to 9 levels of nested monad transformer.

Methods

mwrap :: (mIn r -> mIn r) -> mOut a -> mOut aSource

mresultF Source

Arguments

:: mIn b	This argumet is here just for the type, because otherwise the `resultTrans` has no way of knowing which inner monad you want. The value of this argument is ignored, so it is safe to use `(undefined :: InnerMonad ())` just as a way of specifying the type.
-> mOut (a -> r)

mresult :: mIn b -> a -> mOut rSource
