Synopsis

Documentation

class Monad m => MonadState s m | m -> s whereSource

Methods

get :: m sSource

Return the state from the internals of the monad.

put :: s -> m ()Source

Replace the state inside the monad.

modify :: MonadState s m => (s -> s) -> m ()Source

Monadic state transformer.

Maps an old state to a new state inside a state monad. The old state is thrown away.

      Main> :t modify ((+1) :: Int -> Int)
      modify (...) :: (MonadState Int a) => a ()

This says that modify (+1) acts over any Monad that is a member of the MonadState class, with an Int state.

gets :: MonadState s m => (s -> a) -> m aSource

Gets specific component of the state, using a projection function supplied.
