Control.Monad.Cont

type Cont r = ContT r Identity

The Cont monad is a synonym for the ContT monad transformer applied to the Identity monad.

cont :: forall a r. ((a -> r) -> r) -> Cont r a

Creates a computation in the Cont monad.

runCont :: forall r a. ContT r Identity a -> (a -> r) -> r

Runs a computation in the Cont monad.

mapCont :: forall r a. (r -> r) -> Cont r a -> Cont r a

Transform the result of a continuation-passing function.

withCont :: forall a b r. ((b -> r) -> (a -> r)) -> Cont r a -> Cont r b

Transform the continuation passed into the continuation-passing function.

class (Monad m) <= MonadCont m  where

The MonadCont type class represents those monads which support the callCC, or call-with-current-continuation operation.

This action makes the current continuation available to the caller.

For example:

-- setTimeout :: Number -> Effect Unit -> Effect Unit

delay :: Number -> ContT Unit Effect Unit
delay n = callCC \cont ->
  lift $ setTimeout n (runContT (cont unit) (\_ -> pure unit))

An implementation is provided for ContT, and for other monad transformers defined in this library.

class MonadTrans t  where

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 }

Members

withContT :: forall r m a b. ((b -> m r) -> (a -> m r)) -> ContT r m a -> ContT r m b

Modify the continuation in a ContT monad action

runContT :: forall r m a. ContT r m a -> (a -> m r) -> m r

Run a computation in the ContT monad, by providing a continuation.
