AppExCase

Alias for productR.

Alias for productL.

Alias for ap.

ap2 is a binary version of ap, defined in terms of 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)

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!)

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

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)

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)

Applies the pure (binary) function f to the effectful values fa and fb.

map2 can be seen as a binary version of cats.Functor#map.

Example:

scala> import cats.implicits._

scala> val someInt: Option[Int] = Some(3)
scala> val noneInt: Option[Int] = None
scala> val someLong: Option[Long] = Some(4L)
scala> val noneLong: Option[Long] = None

scala> Apply[Option].map2(someInt, someLong)((i, l) => i.toString + l.toString)
res0: Option[String] = Some(34)

scala> Apply[Option].map2(someInt, noneLong)((i, l) => i.toString + l.toString)
res0: Option[String] = None

scala> Apply[Option].map2(noneInt, noneLong)((i, l) => i.toString + l.toString)
res0: Option[String] = None

scala> Apply[Option].map2(noneInt, someLong)((i, l) => i.toString + l.toString)
res0: Option[String] = None

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

point lifts any value into a Monoidal Functor.

Example:

scala> import cats.implicits._

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

Compose two actions, discarding any value produced by the second.

Compose two actions, discarding any value produced by the first.

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()

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(())

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)
