Description
This module describes a structure intermediate between a functor and
a monad (technically, a strong lax monoidal functor). Compared with
monads, this interface lacks the full power of the binding operation
>>=, but
- it has more instances.
- it is sufficient for many uses, e.g. context-free parsing, or the
Traversableclass. - instances can perform analysis of computations before they are executed, and thus produce shared optimizations.
This interface was introduced for parsers by Niklas Röjemo, because it admits more sharing than the monadic interface. The names here are mostly based on parsing work by Doaitse Swierstra.
For more details, see Applicative Programming with Effects, by Conor McBride and Ross Paterson.

Applicative functors
class Functor f => Applicative f where Source #
A functor with application, providing operations to
A minimal complete definition must include implementations of these functions satisfying the following laws:
- identity
pureid<*>v = v- composition
pure(.)<*>u<*>v<*>w = u<*>(v<*>w)- homomorphism
puref<*>purex =pure(f x)- interchange
u
<*>purey =pure($y)<*>u
The other methods have the following default definitions, which may be overridden with equivalent specialized implementations:
As a consequence of these laws, the Functor instance for f will satisfy
If f is also a Monad, it should satisfy
(which implies that pure and <*> satisfy the applicative functor laws).
Methods

Utility functions
(<$>) :: Functor f => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b infixl 4 Source #
An infix synonym for fmap.
The name of this operator is an allusion to $.
Note the similarities between their types:
($) :: (a -> b) -> a -> b (<$>) :: Functor f => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b
Whereas $ is function application, <$> is function
application lifted over a Functor.
Examples
Convert from a Maybe IntMaybe Stringshow:
>>>show <$> NothingNothing>>>show <$> Just 3Just "3"
Convert from an Either Int IntEither IntString using show:
>>>show <$> Left 17Left 17>>>show <$> Right 17Right "17"
Double each element of a list:
>>>(*2) <$> [1,2,3][2,4,6]
Apply even to the second element of a pair:
>>>even <$> (2,2)(2,True)
(<**>) :: Applicative f => f a -> f (a -> b) -> f b infixl 4 Source #
A variant of <*> with the arguments reversed.
liftA :: Applicative f => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b Source #
liftA2 :: Applicative f => (a -> b -> c) -> f a -> f b -> f c Source #
Lift a binary function to actions.
liftA3 :: Applicative f => (a -> b -> c -> d) -> f a -> f b -> f c -> f d Source #
Lift a ternary function to actions.
optional :: Alternative f => f a -> f (Maybe a) Source #
One or none.
