IdInstance

Alias for productR.

Alias for productL.

Alias for ap.

Replaces the A value in F[A] with the supplied value.

Example:

scala> import cats.Functor
scala> import cats.implicits.catsStdInstancesForList

scala> Functor[List].as(List(1,2,3), "hello")
res0: List[String] = List(hello, hello, hello)

Compose an Applicative[F] and an Applicative[G] into an Applicative[λ[α => F[G[α]]]].

Example:

scala> import cats.implicits._

scala> val alo = Applicative[List].compose[Option]

scala> alo.pure(3)
res0: List[Option[Int]] = List(Some(3))

scala> alo.product(List(None, Some(true), Some(false)), List(Some(2), None))
res1: List[Option[(Boolean, Int)]] = List(None, None, Some((true,2)), None, Some((false,2)), None)

Compose Invariant F[_] and G[_] then produce Invariant[F[G[_]]] using their imap.

Example:

scala> import cats.implicits._
scala> import scala.concurrent.duration._

scala> val durSemigroupList: Semigroup[List[FiniteDuration]] =
    | Invariant[Semigroup].compose[List].imap(Semigroup[List[Long]])(Duration.fromNanos)(_.toNanos)
scala> durSemigroupList.combine(List(2.seconds, 3.seconds), List(4.seconds))
res1: List[FiniteDuration] = List(2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds)

Compose an Apply[F] and an Apply[G] into an Apply[λ[α => F[G[α]]]].

Example:

scala> import cats.implicits._

scala> val alo = Apply[List].compose[Option]

scala> alo.product(List(None, Some(true), Some(false)), List(Some(2), None))
res1: List[Option[(Boolean, Int)]] = List(None, None, Some((true,2)), None, Some((false,2)), None)

Compose an Applicative[F] and a ContravariantMonoidal[G] into a ContravariantMonoidal[λ[α => F[G[α]]]].

Example:

scala> import cats.kernel.Comparison
scala> import cats.implicits._

// compares strings by alphabetical order
scala> val alpha: Order[String] = Order[String]

// compares strings by their length
scala> val strLength: Order[String] = Order.by[String, Int](_.length)

scala> val stringOrders: List[Order[String]] = List(alpha, strLength)

// first comparison is with alpha order, second is with string length
scala> stringOrders.map(o => o.comparison("abc", "de"))
res0: List[Comparison] = List(LessThan, GreaterThan)

scala> val le = Applicative[List].composeContravariantMonoidal[Order]

// create Int orders that convert ints to strings and then use the string orders
scala> val intOrders: List[Order[Int]] = le.contramap(stringOrders)(_.toString)

// first comparison is with alpha order, second is with string length
scala> intOrders.map(o => o.comparison(12, 3))
res1: List[Comparison] = List(LessThan, GreaterThan)

// create the `product` of the string order list and the int order list
// `p` contains a list of the following orders:
// 1. (alpha comparison on strings followed by alpha comparison on ints)
// 2. (alpha comparison on strings followed by length comparison on ints)
// 3. (length comparison on strings followed by alpha comparison on ints)
// 4. (length comparison on strings followed by length comparison on ints)
scala> val p: List[Order[(String, Int)]] = le.product(stringOrders, intOrders)

scala> p.map(o => o.comparison(("abc", 12), ("def", 3)))
res2: List[Comparison] = List(LessThan, LessThan, LessThan, GreaterThan)

Compose Invariant F[_] and Functor G[_] then produce Invariant[F[G[_]]] using F's imap and G's map.

Example:

scala> import cats.implicits._
scala> import scala.concurrent.duration._

scala> val durSemigroupList: Semigroup[List[FiniteDuration]] =
    | Invariant[Semigroup]
    |   .composeFunctor[List]
    |   .imap(Semigroup[List[Long]])(Duration.fromNanos)(_.toNanos)
scala> durSemigroupList.combine(List(2.seconds, 3.seconds), List(4.seconds))
res1: List[FiniteDuration] = List(2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds)

Apply a monadic function and discard the result while keeping the effect.

scala> import cats._, implicits._
scala> Option(1).flatTap(_ => None)
res0: Option[Int] = None
scala> Option(1).flatTap(_ => Some("123"))
res1: Option[Int] = Some(1)
scala> def nCats(n: Int) = List.fill(n)("cat")
nCats: (n: Int)List[String]
scala> List[Int](0).flatTap(nCats)
res2: List[Int] = List()
scala> List[Int](4).flatTap(nCats)
res3: List[Int] = List(4, 4, 4, 4)

"flatten" a nested F of F structure into a single-layer F structure.

This is also commonly called join.

Example:

scala> import cats.Eval
scala> import cats.implicits._

scala> val nested: Eval[Eval[Int]] = Eval.now(Eval.now(3))
scala> val flattened: Eval[Int] = nested.flatten
scala> flattened.value
res0: Int = 3

Alias for map, since map can't be injected as syntax if the implementing type already had a built-in .map method.

Example:

scala> import cats.implicits._

scala> val m: Map[Int, String] = Map(1 -> "hi", 2 -> "there", 3 -> "you")

scala> m.fmap(_ ++ "!")
res0: Map[Int,String] = Map(1 -> hi!, 2 -> there!, 3 -> you!)

Like an infinite loop of >> calls. This is most useful effect loops that you want to run forever in for instance a server.

This will be an infinite loop, or it will return an F[Nothing].

Be careful using this. For instance, a List of length k will produce a list of length k^n at iteration n. This means if k = 0, we return an empty list, if k = 1, we loop forever allocating single element lists, but if we have a k > 1, we will allocate exponentially increasing memory and very quickly OOM.

Tuple the values in fa with the result of applying a function with the value

Example:

scala> import cats.Functor
scala> import cats.implicits.catsStdInstancesForOption

scala> Functor[Option].fproduct(Option(42))(_.toString)
res0: Option[(Int, String)] = Some((42,42))

Pair the result of function application with A.

Example:

scala> import cats.Functor
scala> import cats.implicits.catsStdInstancesForOption

scala> Functor[Option].fproductLeft(Option(42))(_.toString)
res0: Option[(String, Int)] = Some((42,42))

An if-then-else lifted into the F context. This function combines the effects of the fcond condition and of the two branches, in the order in which they are given.

The value of the result is, depending on the value of the condition, the value of the first argument, or the value of the second argument.

Example:

scala> import cats.implicits._

scala> val b1: Option[Boolean] = Some(true)
scala> val asInt1: Option[Int] = Apply[Option].ifA(b1)(Some(1), Some(0))
scala> asInt1.get
res0: Int = 1

scala> val b2: Option[Boolean] = Some(false)
scala> val asInt2: Option[Int] = Apply[Option].ifA(b2)(Some(1), Some(0))
scala> asInt2.get
res1: Int = 0

scala> val b3: Option[Boolean] = Some(true)
scala> val asInt3: Option[Int] = Apply[Option].ifA(b3)(Some(1), None)
asInt2: Option[Int] = None

Simulates an if/else-if/else in the context of an F. It evaluates conditions until one evaluates to true, and returns the associated F[A]. If no condition is true, returns els.

scala> import cats._
scala> Monad[Eval].ifElseM(Eval.later(false) -> Eval.later(1), Eval.later(true) -> Eval.later(2))(Eval.later(5)).value
res0: Int = 2

Based on a gist by Daniel Spiewak with a stack-safe implementation due to P. Oscar Boykin

Lifts if to Functor

Example:

scala> import cats.Functor
scala> import cats.implicits.catsStdInstancesForList

scala> Functor[List].ifF(List(true, false, false))(1, 0)
res0: List[Int] = List(1, 0, 0)

if lifted into monad.

iterateForeverM is almost exclusively useful for effect types. For instance, A may be some state, we may take the current state, run some effect to get a new state and repeat.

Execute an action repeatedly until its result satisfies the given predicate and return that result, discarding all others.

Apply a monadic function iteratively until its result satisfies the given predicate and return that result.

Execute an action repeatedly until its result fails to satisfy the given predicate and return that result, discarding all others.

Apply a monadic function iteratively until its result fails to satisfy the given predicate and return that result.

Lift a function f to operate on Functors

Example:

scala> import cats.Functor
scala> import cats.implicits.catsStdInstancesForOption

scala> val o = Option(42)
scala> Functor[Option].lift((x: Int) => x + 10)(o)
res0: Option[Int] = Some(52)

Similar to map2 but uses Eval to allow for laziness in the F[B] argument. This can allow for "short-circuiting" of computations.

NOTE: the default implementation of map2Eval does not short-circuit computations. For data structures that can benefit from laziness, Apply instances should override this method.

In the following example, x.map2(bomb)(_ + _) would result in an error, but map2Eval "short-circuits" the computation. x is None and thus the result of bomb doesn't even need to be evaluated in order to determine that the result of map2Eval should be None.

scala> import cats.{Eval, Later}
scala> import cats.implicits._
scala> val bomb: Eval[Option[Int]] = Later(sys.error("boom"))
scala> val x: Option[Int] = None
scala> x.map2Eval(bomb)(_ + _).value
res0: Option[Int] = None

Pair A with the result of function application.

Example:

scala> import cats.implicits._
scala> List("12", "34", "56").mproduct(_.toList)
res0: List[(String, Char)] = List((12,1), (12,2), (34,3), (34,4), (56,5), (56,6))

point lifts any value into a Monoidal Functor.

Example:

scala> import cats.implicits._

scala> InvariantMonoidal[Option].point(10)
res0: Option[Int] = Some(10)

Sequentially compose two actions, discarding any value produced by the second. This variant of productL also lets you define the evaluation strategy of the second action. For instance you can evaluate it only ''after'' the first action has finished:

scala> import cats.Eval
scala> import cats.implicits._
scala> var count = 0
scala> val fa: Option[Int] = Some(3)
scala> def fb: Option[Unit] = Some(count += 1)
scala> fa.productLEval(Eval.later(fb))
res0: Option[Int] = Some(3)
scala> assert(count == 1)
scala> none[Int].productLEval(Eval.later(fb))
res1: Option[Int] = None
scala> assert(count == 1)

Sequentially compose two actions, discarding any value produced by the first. This variant of productR also lets you define the evaluation strategy of the second action. For instance you can evaluate it only ''after'' the first action has finished:

scala> import cats.Eval
scala> import cats.implicits._
scala> val fa: Option[Int] = Some(3)
scala> def fb: Option[String] = Some("foo")
scala> fa.productREval(Eval.later(fb))
res0: Option[String] = Some(foo)

Given fa and n, apply fa n times to construct an F[List[A]] value.

Example:

scala> import cats.data.State

scala> type Counter[A] = State[Int, A]
scala> val getAndIncrement: Counter[Int] = State { i => (i + 1, i) }
scala> val getAndIncrement5: Counter[List[Int]] =
    | Applicative[Counter].replicateA(5, getAndIncrement)
scala> getAndIncrement5.run(0).value
res0: (Int, List[Int]) = (5,List(0, 1, 2, 3, 4))

Tuples the A value in F[A] with the supplied B value, with the B value on the left.

Example:

scala> import scala.collection.immutable.Queue
scala> import cats.Functor
scala> import cats.implicits.catsStdInstancesForQueue

scala> Functor[Queue].tupleLeft(Queue("hello", "world"), 42)
res0: scala.collection.immutable.Queue[(Int, String)] = Queue((42,hello), (42,world))

Tuples the A value in F[A] with the supplied B value, with the B value on the right.

Example:

scala> import scala.collection.immutable.Queue
scala> import cats.Functor
scala> import cats.implicits.catsStdInstancesForQueue

scala> Functor[Queue].tupleRight(Queue("hello", "world"), 42)
res0: scala.collection.immutable.Queue[(String, Int)] = Queue((hello,42), (world,42))

Returns an F[Unit] value, equivalent with pure(()).

A useful shorthand, also allowing implementations to optimize the returned reference (e.g. it can be a val).

Example:

scala> import cats.implicits._

scala> Applicative[Option].unit
res0: Option[Unit] = Some(())

Returns the given argument (mapped to Unit) if cond is false, otherwise, unit lifted into F.

Example:

scala> import cats.implicits._

scala> Applicative[List].unlessA(true)(List(1, 2, 3))
res0: List[Unit] = List(())

scala> Applicative[List].unlessA(false)(List(1, 2, 3))
res1: List[Unit] = List((), (), ())

scala> Applicative[List].unlessA(true)(List.empty[Int])
res2: List[Unit] = List(())

scala> Applicative[List].unlessA(false)(List.empty[Int])
res3: List[Unit] = List()

This repeats an F until we get defined values. This can be useful for polling type operations on State (or RNG) Monads, or in effect monads.

Execute an action repeatedly until the Boolean condition returns true. The condition is evaluated after the loop body. Collects results into an arbitrary Alternative value, such as a Vector. This implementation uses append on each evaluation result, so avoid data structures with non-constant append performance, e.g. List.

Execute an action repeatedly until the Boolean condition returns true. The condition is evaluated after the loop body. Discards results.

Un-zips an F[(A, B)] consisting of element pairs or Tuple2 into two separate F's tupled.

NOTE: Check for effect duplication, possibly memoize before

scala> import cats.Functor
scala> import cats.implicits.catsStdInstancesForList

scala> Functor[List].unzip(List((1,2), (3, 4)))
res0: (List[Int], List[Int]) = (List(1, 3),List(2, 4))

Empty the fa of the values, preserving the structure

Example:

scala> import cats.Functor
scala> import cats.implicits.catsStdInstancesForList

scala> Functor[List].void(List(1,2,3))
res0: List[Unit] = List((), (), ())

Returns the given argument (mapped to Unit) if cond is true, otherwise, unit lifted into F.

Example:

scala> import cats.implicits._

scala> Applicative[List].whenA(true)(List(1, 2, 3))
res0: List[Unit] = List((), (), ())

scala> Applicative[List].whenA(false)(List(1, 2, 3))
res1: List[Unit] = List(())

scala> Applicative[List].whenA(true)(List.empty[Int])
res2: List[Unit] = List()

scala> Applicative[List].whenA(false)(List.empty[Int])
res3: List[Unit] = List(())

Execute an action repeatedly as long as the given Boolean expression returns true. The condition is evaluated before the loop body. Collects the results into an arbitrary Alternative value, such as a Vector. This implementation uses append on each evaluation result, so avoid data structures with non-constant append performance, e.g. List.

Execute an action repeatedly as long as the given Boolean expression returns true. The condition is evaluated before the loop body. Discards results.

Lifts natural subtyping covariance of covariant Functors.

NOTE: In certain (perhaps contrived) situations that rely on universal equality this can result in a ClassCastException, because it is implemented as a type cast. It could be implemented as map(identity), but according to the functor laws, that should be equal to fa, and a type cast is often much more performant. See this example of widen creating a ClassCastException.

Example:

scala> import cats.Functor
scala> import cats.implicits.catsStdInstancesForOption

scala> val s = Some(42)
scala> Functor[Option].widen(s)
res0: Option[Int] = Some(42)
