Control.Monad.Maybe.Trans

newtype MaybeT m a

The MaybeT monad transformer.

This monad transformer extends the base monad, supporting failure and alternation via the MonadPlus type class.

runMaybeT :: forall a m. MaybeT m a -> m (Maybe a)

Run a computation in the MaybeT monad.

mapMaybeT :: forall b a m2 m1. (m1 (Maybe a) -> m2 (Maybe b)) -> MaybeT m1 a -> MaybeT m2 b

Change the result type of a MaybeT monad action.

The MonadTrans type class represents monad transformers.

A monad transformer is a type constructor of kind (* -> *) -> * -> *, which takes a Monad as its first argument, and returns another Monad.

This allows us to add additional effects to an existing monad. By iterating this process, we create monad transformer stacks, which contain all of the effects required for a particular computation.

The laws state that lift is a Monad morphism.

Laws:

• lift (pure a) = pure a
• lift (do { x <- m ; y }) = do { x <- lift m ; lift y }
