Data.Functor

class Functor f  where

A Functor is a type constructor which supports a mapping operation map.

map can be used to turn functions a -> b into functions f a -> f b whose argument and return types use the type constructor f to represent some computational context.

Instances must satisfy the following laws:

• Identity: map identity = identity
• Composition: map (f <<< g) = map f <<< map g

Members

• map :: forall a b. (a -> b) -> f a -> f b

Instances

• Functor (Function r)
• Functor Array

mapFlipped :: forall f a b. Functor f => f a -> (a -> b) -> f b

mapFlipped is map with its arguments reversed. For example:

[1, 2, 3] <#> \n -> n * n

void :: forall f a. Functor f => f a -> f Unit

The void function is used to ignore the type wrapped by a Functor, replacing it with Unit and keeping only the type information provided by the type constructor itself.

void is often useful when using do notation to change the return type of a monadic computation:

main = forE 1 10 \n -> void do
  print n
  print (n * n)

voidRight :: forall f a b. Functor f => a -> f b -> f a

Ignore the return value of a computation, using the specified return value instead.

voidLeft :: forall f a b. Functor f => f a -> b -> f b

A version of voidRight with its arguments flipped.

flap :: forall f a b. Functor f => f (a -> b) -> a -> f b

Apply a value in a computational context to a value in no context.

Generalizes flip.

longEnough :: String -> Bool
hasSymbol :: String -> Bool
hasDigit :: String -> Bool
password :: String

validate :: String -> Array Bool
validate = flap [longEnough, hasSymbol, hasDigit]

flap (-) 3 4 == 1
threeve <$> Just 1 <@> 'a' <*> Just true == Just (threeve 1 'a' true)
