Control.Monad.Trans.Error

Description

Deprecated: Use Control.Monad.Trans.Except instead

This monad transformer adds the ability to fail or throw exceptions to a monad.

A sequence of actions succeeds, producing a value, only if all the actions in the sequence are successful. If one fails with an error, the rest of the sequence is skipped and the composite action fails with that error.

If the value of the error is not required, the variant in Control.Monad.Trans.Maybe may be used instead.

Note: This module will be removed in a future release. Instead, use Control.Monad.Trans.Except, which does not restrict the exception type, and also includes a base exception monad.

Synopsis

The ErrorT monad transformer

class Error a where Source #

An exception to be thrown.

Minimal complete definition: noMsg or strMsg.

Minimal complete definition

Nothing

Methods

noMsg :: a Source #

Creates an exception without a message. The default implementation is strMsg "".

strMsg :: String -> a Source #

Creates an exception with a message. The default implementation of strMsg s is noMsg.

A string can be thrown as an error.

Methods

noMsg :: [a] Source #

strMsg :: String -> [a] Source #

class ErrorList a where Source #

Workaround so that we can have a Haskell 98 instance Error String.

Methods

listMsg :: String -> [Char] Source #

newtype ErrorT e m a Source #

The error monad transformer. It can be used to add error handling to other monads.

The ErrorT Monad structure is parameterized over two things:

  • e - The error type.
  • m - The inner monad.

The return function yields a successful computation, while >>= sequences two subcomputations, failing on the first error.
