Prelude
A collection of types and functions to build powerful abstractions and enhance the Swift standard library.
Either
A type to express a value that holds one of two other types.
import Either
let intOrString = Either<Int, String>.left(2)
intOrString
.bimap({ $0 + 1 }, { $0 + "!" }) // => .left(3)Optics
A Lens type and a bridge between the lens world and the Swift key path world.
import Optics
import Prelude
struct User {
var id: Int
var name: String
}
let uppercased: (String) -> String = { $0.uppercased() }
let user = User(id: 1, name: "Blob")
user
|> \.id .~ 2
|> \.name %~ uppercased
// => User(2, "BLOB")ValidationSemigroup
The Validation<E, A> type is a type similar to Result<E, A>, except it is given a different applicative instance in the case that E is a semigroup. This allows you to accumulate multiple errors into E instead of just taking the first error:
import Prelude
import ValidationSemigroup
struct User { let name: String; let bio: String; let email: String }
let createUser = { name in { bio in { email in User(name: name, bio: bio, email: email) } } }
func validate(name: String) -> Validation<[String], String> {
return !name.isEmpty
? pure(name)
: .invalid(["Name must be at least 1 character."])
}
func validate(bio: String) -> Validation<[String], String> {
return bio.count <= 10
? pure(bio)
: .invalid(["Bio must 10 characters or less."])
}
func validate(email: String) -> Validation<[String], String> {
return email.contains("@")
? pure(email)
: .invalid(["Email must be valid."])
}
let validUser = pure(createUser)
<*> validate(name: "Blob")
<*> validate(bio: "I'm a blob")
<*> validate(email: "[email protected]")
// => .valid(User(name: "Blob", bio: "I'm a blob", email: "[email protected]"))
let invalidUser = pure(createUser)
<*> validate(name: "Blob")
<*> validate(bio: "Blobbin around the world")
<*> validate(email: "blob")
// => .invalid(["Bio must 10 characters or less.", "Email must be valid."])For more information, watch Stephen Celisโ talk.
ValidationNearSemiring
This Validation<E, A> type is a type similar to Result<E, A> and the above Validation, except it is given a different applicative instance in the case that E is a NearSemiring. This allows you to accumulate errors that describe conditions that hold with both โandโ and โorโ, e.g. name is required and either email or phone is required.
