Documentation

type Handler a = a -> IO () Source #

An event handler is a function that takes an event value and performs some computation.

newtype AddHandler a Source #

The type AddHandler represents a facility for registering event handlers. These will be called whenever the event occurs.

When registering an event handler, you will also be given an action that unregisters this handler again.

do unregisterMyHandler <- register addHandler myHandler

Methods

fmap :: (a -> b) -> AddHandler a -> AddHandler b #

(<$) :: a -> AddHandler b -> AddHandler a #

newAddHandler :: IO (AddHandler a, Handler a) Source #

Build a facility to register and unregister event handlers. Also yields a function that takes an event handler and runs all the registered handlers.

Example:

do
    (addHandler, fire) <- newAddHandler
    register addHandler putStrLn
    fire "Hello!"

mapIO :: (a -> IO b) -> AddHandler a -> AddHandler b Source #

Map the event value with an IO action.

filterIO :: (a -> IO Bool) -> AddHandler a -> AddHandler a Source #

Filter event values that don't return True.
