Functional lenses.

Based on F# implementation in FSharpx (see src/FSharpx.Core/Lens.fs for the original implementation)

type ('a, 'b) t = {
  1. get : 'a -> 'b;
    (*

    Functional getter

    *)
  2. set : 'b -> 'a -> 'a;
    (*

    Functional setter

    *)
}

Lens type definition

val modify : ('a, 'b) t -> ('b -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'a

Updates a value through a lens

Combinators

val compose : ('a, 'b) t -> ('c, 'a) t -> ('c, 'b) t

Sequentially composes two lenses

val pair : ('a, 'b) t -> ('c, 'd) t -> ('a * 'c, 'b * 'd) t

Pairs two lenses

val pair3 : ('a, 'b) t -> ('c, 'd) t -> ('e, 'f) t -> ('a * 'c * 'e, 'b * 'd * 'f) t

Pairs three lenses

val cond : ('a -> bool) -> ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t

Selects a lens checking a predicate.

cond pred lensTrue lensFalse: pred is applied to source. If true, lensTrue is selected. If false, lensFalse is selected.

State monad integration

val get_state : ('a, 'b) t -> 'a -> 'b * 'a

Gets a value from the state monad.

val put_state : ('a, 'b) t -> 'b -> 'a -> unit * 'a

Puts a value in the state monad.

val modify_state : ('a, 'b) t -> ('b -> 'b) -> 'a -> unit * 'a

Modifies a value in the state monad.

Stock lenses

val ignore : ('a, unit) t

Trivial lens

val id : ('a, 'a) t

Identity lens

val first : ('a * 'b, 'a) t

Gets/sets the first element in a pair

val second : ('a * 'b, 'b) t

Gets/sets the second element in a pair

val head : ('a list, 'a) t

Gets/sets the first element in a list

val tail : ('a list, 'a list) t

Gets/sets the tail of a list

val for_hash : 'a -> (('a, 'b) Hashtbl.t, 'b option) t

Lens for a particular key in a hashtable

val for_assoc : 'a -> (('a * 'b) list, 'b option) t

Lens for a particular key in an associative list

val for_array : int -> ('a array, 'a) t

Lens for a particular position in an array

val for_list : int -> ('a list, 'a) t

Lens for a particular position in a list

val option_get : ('a option, 'a) t

Lens for extracting the value from an option type (same as Option.get)

List combinators

val list_map : ('a, 'b) t -> ('a list, 'b list) t

Creates a lens that maps the given lens in a list

Isomorphism

val xmap : ('a -> 'b) -> ('b -> 'a) -> ('c, 'a) t -> ('c, 'b) t

Applies an isomorphism to the value viewed through a lens
