If the input is a __@Tree a@__, each output __@Tree b@__ has the -- same graph of intermediate nodes and leaves. Similarly, if the input is a -- 2-tuple __@(x, a)@__, each output is a 2-tuple __@(x, b)@__, and so forth. -- -- It is in fact possible to decompose a traversable structure __@t a@__ into -- its shape (a.k.a. /spine/) of type __@t ()@__ and its element list -- __@[a]@__. The original structure can be faithfully reconstructed from its -- spine and element list. -- -- The implementation of a @Traversable@ instance for a given structure follows -- naturally from its type; see the [Construction](#construction) section for -- details. -- Instances must satisfy the laws listed in the [Laws section](#laws). -- The diverse uses of @Traversable@ structures result from the many possible -- choices of Applicative effects. -- See the [Advanced Traversals](#advanced) section for some examples. -- -- Every @Traversable@ structure is both a 'Functor' and 'Foldable' because it -- is possible to implement the requisite instances in terms of 'traverse' by -- using 'fmapDefault' for 'fmap' and 'foldMapDefault' for 'foldMap'. Direct -- fine-tuned implementations of these superclass methods can in some cases be -- more efficient. ------------------ -- $traverse -- For an 'Applicative' functor __@f@__ and a @Traversable@ functor __@t@__, -- the type signatures of 'traverse' and 'fmap' are rather similar: -- -- > fmap :: (a -> f b) -> t a -> t (f b) -- > traverse :: (a -> f b) -> t a -> f (t b) -- -- The key difference is that 'fmap' produces a structure whose elements (of -- type __@f b@__) are individual effects, while 'traverse' produces an -- aggregate effect yielding structures of type __@t b@__. -- -- For example, when __@f@__ is the __@IO@__ monad, and __@t@__ is __@List@__, -- 'fmap' yields a list of IO actions, whereas 'traverse' constructs an IO -- action that evaluates to a list of the return values of the individual -- actions performed left-to-right. -- -- > traverse :: (a -> IO b) -> [a] -> IO [b] -- -- The 'mapM' function is a specialisation of 'traverse' to the case when -- __@f@__ is a 'Monad'. For monads, 'mapM' is more idiomatic than 'traverse'. -- The two are otherwise generally identical (though 'mapM' may be specifically -- optimised for monads, and could be more efficient than using the more -- general 'traverse'). -- -- > traverse :: (Applicative f, Traversable t) => (a -> f b) -> t a -> f (t b) -- > mapM :: (Monad m, Traversable t) => (a -> m b) -> t a -> m (t b) -- -- When the traversable term is a simple variable or expression, and the -- monadic action to run is a non-trivial do block, it can be more natural to -- write the action last. This idiom is supported by 'for' and 'forM', which -- are the flipped versions of 'traverse' and 'mapM', respectively. ------------------ -- $multiplicity -- -- #multiplicity# -- When 'traverse' or 'mapM' is applied to an empty structure __@ts@__ (one for -- which __@'null' ts@__ is 'True') the return value is __@pure ts@__ -- regardless of the provided function __@g :: a -> f b@__. It is not possible -- to apply the function when no values of type __@a@__ are available, but its -- type determines the relevant instance of 'pure'. -- -- prop> null ts ==> traverse g ts == pure ts -- -- Otherwise, when __@ts@__ is non-empty and at least one value of type __@b@__ -- results from each __@f a@__, the structures __@t b@__ have /the same shape/ -- (list length, graph of tree nodes, ...) as the input structure __@t a@__, -- but the slots previously occupied by elements of type __@a@__ now hold -- elements of type __@b@__. -- -- A single traversal may produce one, zero or many such structures. The zero -- case happens when one of the effects __@f a@__ sequenced as part of the -- traversal yields no replacement values. Otherwise, the many case happens -- when one of sequenced effects yields multiple values. -- -- The 'traverse' function does not perform selective filtering of slots in the -- output structure as with e.g. 'Data.Maybe.mapMaybe'. -- -- >>> let incOdd n = if odd n then Just $ n + 1 else Nothing -- >>> mapMaybe incOdd [1, 2, 3] -- [2,4] -- >>> traverse incOdd [1, 3, 5] -- Just [2,4,6] -- >>> traverse incOdd [1, 2, 3] -- Nothing -- -- In the above examples, with 'Maybe' as the 'Applicative' __@f@__, we see -- that the number of __@t b@__ structures produced by 'traverse' may differ -- from one: it is zero when the result short-circuits to __@Nothing@__. The -- same can happen when __@f@__ is __@List@__ and the result is __@[]@__, or -- __@f@__ is __@Either e@__ and the result is __@Left (x :: e)@__, or perhaps -- the 'Control.Applicative.empty' value of some -- 'Control.Applicative.Alternative' functor. -- -- When __@f@__ is e.g. __@List@__, and the map __@g :: a -> [b]@__ returns -- more than one value for some inputs __@a@__ (and at least one for all -- __@a@__), the result of __@mapM g ts@__ will contain multiple structures of -- the same shape as __@ts@__: -- -- prop> length (mapM g ts) == product (fmap (length . g) ts) -- -- For example: -- -- >>> length $ mapM (\n -> [1..n]) [1..6] -- 720 -- >>> product $ length .

These are 'traverse_' and 'mapM_', and their flipped variants -- 'for_' and 'forM_', respectively.

This is done for two reasons: -- -- * Use of 'coerce' makes it possible to avoid cluttering the code with -- functions that wrap and unwrap /newtype/ terms, which at runtime are -- indistinguishable from the underlying value. Coercion is particularly -- convenient when one would have to otherwise apply multiple newtype -- constructors to function arguments, and then peel off multiple layers -- of same from the function output. -- -- * Use of 'coerce' can produce more efficient code, by reusing the original -- value, rather than allocating space for a wrapped clone. -- -- If you're not familiar with 'coerce', don't worry, it is just a shorthand -- that, e.g., given: -- -- > newtype Foo a = MkFoo { getFoo :: a } -- > newtype Bar a = MkBar { getBar :: a } -- > newtype Baz a = MkBaz { getBaz :: a } -- > f :: Baz Int -> Bar (Foo String) -- -- makes it possible to write: -- -- > x :: Int -> String -- > x = coerce f -- -- instead of -- -- > x = getFoo . getBar . f . MkBaz ------------------ -- $identity -- -- #identity# -- The simplest Applicative functor is 'Identity', which just wraps and unwraps -- pure values and function application. This allows us to define -- 'fmapDefault': -- -- > {-# LANGUAGE ScopedTypeVariables, TypeApplications #-} -- > import Data.Coercible (coerce) -- > -- > fmapDefault :: forall t a b. Traversable t => (a -> b) -> t a -> t b -- > fmapDefault = coerce (traverse @t @Identity @a @b) -- -- The use of [coercion](#coercion) avoids the need to explicitly wrap and -- unwrap terms via 'Identity' and 'runIdentity'. -- -- As noted in [Overview](#overview), 'fmapDefault' can only be used to define -- the requisite 'Functor' instance of a 'Traversable' structure when the -- 'traverse' method is explicitly implemented. An infinite loop would result -- if in addition 'traverse' were defined in terms of 'sequenceA' and 'fmap'. ------------------ -- $stateful -- -- #stateful# -- Applicative functors that thread a changing state through a computation are -- an interesting use-case for 'traverse'. The 'mapAccumL' and 'mapAccumR' -- functions in this module are each defined in terms of such traversals. -- -- We first define a simplified (not a monad transformer) version of -- 'Control.Monad.Trans.State.State' that threads a state __@s@__ through a -- chain of computations left to right.

The technique used is useful in its own right, and -- is explored below. -- -- A key feature of folds is that they can reduce the input structure to a -- summary value. Often neither the input structure nor a mutated clone is -- needed once the fold is computed, and through list fusion the input may not -- even have been memory resident in its entirety at the same time. -- -- The 'traverse' method does not at first seem to be a suitable building block -- for folds, because its return value __@f (t b)@__ appears to retain mutated -- copies of the input structure. But the presence of __@t b@__ in the type -- signature need not mean that terms of type __@t b@__ are actually embedded -- in __@f (t b)@__. The simplest way to elide the excess terms is by basing -- the Applicative functor used with 'traverse' on 'Const'. -- -- Not only does __@Const a b@__ hold just an __@a@__ value, with the __@b@__ -- parameter merely a /phantom/ type, but when __@m@__ has a 'Monoid' instance, -- __@Const m@__ is an 'Applicative' functor: -- -- > import Data.Coerce (coerce) -- > newtype Const a b = Const { getConst :: a } deriving (Eq, Ord, Show) -- etc. -- > instance Functor (Const m) where fmap = const coerce -- > instance Monoid m => Applicative (Const m) where -- > pure _ = Const mempty -- > (<*>) = coerce (mappend :: m -> m -> m) -- > liftA2 _ = coerce (mappend :: m -> m -> m) -- -- The use of [coercion](#coercion) avoids the need to explicitly wrap and -- unwrap __@newtype@__ terms. -- -- We can therefore define a specialisation of 'traverse': -- -- > {-# LANGUAGE ScopedTypeVariables, TypeApplications #-} -- > traverseC :: forall t a m.
