Description

A minimal subset of the "lens" library functionality, which is completely compatible with it.

Unless you use the "lens" library itself, this module is your interface to manipulating the record fields.

type Lens s a = forall f. Functor f => (a -> f a) -> s -> f s Source

A reference from a datastructure s to some part a, which can be used to manipulate that particular part.

view :: Lens s a -> s -> a Source

Given a lens to a subpart and a datastructure, produce the value of the referred subpart.

set :: Lens s a -> a -> s -> s Source

Given a lens to a subpart, a new value for it and a datastructure, produce an updated datastructure.

over :: Lens s a -> (a -> a) -> s -> s Source

Given a lens to a subpart, and an update function for it, produce a function, which updates the datastructure.
