A Lens is actually a lens family as described in http://comonad.com/reader/2012/mirrored-lenses/.

With great power comes great responsibility and a Lens is subject to the three common sense Lens laws:

1) You get back what you put in:

view l (set l v s)  ≡ v

2) Putting back what you got doesn't change anything:

set l (view l s) s  ≡ s

3) Setting twice is the same as setting once:

set l v' (set l v s) ≡ set l v' s

These laws are strong enough that the 4 type parameters of a Lens cannot vary fully independently. For more on how they interact, read the "Why is it a Lens Family?" section of http://comonad.com/reader/2012/mirrored-lenses/.

There are some emergent properties of these laws:

1) set l s must be injective for every s This is a consequence of law #1

2) set l must be surjective, because of law #2, which indicates that it is possible to obtain any v from some s such that set s v = s

3) Given just the first two laws you can prove a weaker form of law #3 where the values v that you are setting match:

set l v (set l v s) ≡ set l v s

Every Lens can be used directly as a Setter or Traversal.

You can also use a Lens for Getting as if it were a Fold or Getter.

Since every Lens is a valid Traversal, the Traversal laws are required of any Lens you create:

l pure ≡ pure
fmap (l f) . l g ≡ getCompose . l (Compose . fmap f . g)

type Lens s t a b = forall f. Functor f => LensLike f s t a b

type Lens' = Simple Lens

Build a Lens from a getter and a setter.

lens :: Functor f => (s -> a) -> (s -> b -> t) -> (a -> f b) -> s -> f t

>>> s ^. lens getter setter
getter s

>>> s & lens getter setter .~ b
setter s b

>>> s & lens getter setter %~ f
setter s (f (getter s))

lens :: (s -> a) -> (s -> a -> s) -> Lens' s a

Obtain a getter and a setter from a lens, reversing lens.

There is a field for every type in the Void. Very zen.

>>> [] & mapped.devoid +~ 1
[]

>>> Nothing & mapped.devoid %~ abs
Nothing

devoid :: Lens' Void a

We can always retrieve a () from any type.

>>> "hello"^.united
()

>>> "hello" & united .~ ()
"hello"

A Lens focusing on the first element of a Traversable1 container.

>>> 2 :| [3, 4] & head1 +~ 10
12 :| [3,4]

>>> Identity True ^. head1
True

A Lens focusing on the last element of a Traversable1 container.

>>> 2 :| [3, 4] & last1 +~ 10
2 :| [3,14]

>>> Node 'a' [Node 'b' [], Node 'c' []] ^. last1
'c'

& is a reverse application operator. This provides notational convenience. Its precedence is one higher than that of the forward application operator $, which allows & to be nested in $.

>>> 5 & (+1) & show
"6"

Since: base-4.8.0.0

Flipped version of <$>.

(<&>) = flip fmap

Examples

>>> Just 2 <&> (+1)
Just 3

>>> [1,2,3] <&> (+1)
[2,3,4]

>>> Right 3 <&> (+1)
Right 4

Since: base-4.11.0.0

This is convenient to flip argument order of composite functions defined as:

fab ?? a = fmap ($ a) fab

For the Functor instance f = ((->) r) you can reason about this function as if the definition was (??) ≡ flip:

>>> (h ?? x) a
h a x

>>> execState ?? [] $ modify (1:)
[1]

>>> over _2 ?? ("hello","world") $ length
("hello",5)

>>> over ?? length ?? ("hello","world") $ _2
("hello",5)

This can be used to chain lens operations using op= syntax rather than op~ syntax for simple non-type-changing cases.

>>> (10,20) & _1 .~ 30 & _2 .~ 40
(30,40)

>>> (10,20) &~ do _1 .= 30; _2 .= 40
(30,40)

This does not support type-changing assignment, e.g.

>>> (10,20) & _1 .~ "hello"
("hello",20)

(%%~) can be used in one of two scenarios:

When applied to a Lens, it can edit the target of the Lens in a structure, extracting a functorial result.

When applied to a Traversal, it can edit the targets of the traversals, extracting an applicative summary of its actions.

>>> [66,97,116,109,97,110] & each %%~ \a -> ("na", chr a)
("nananananana","Batman")

For all that the definition of this combinator is just:

(%%~) ≡ id

It may be beneficial to think about it as if it had these even more restricted types, however:

(%%~) :: Functor f =>     Iso s t a b       -> (a -> f b) -> s -> f t
(%%~) :: Functor f =>     Lens s t a b      -> (a -> f b) -> s -> f t
(%%~) :: Applicative f => Traversal s t a b -> (a -> f b) -> s -> f t

When applied to a Traversal, it can edit the targets of the traversals, extracting a supplemental monoidal summary of its actions, by choosing f = ((,) m)

over for Arrows.

Fuse a composition of lenses using Yoneda to provide fmap fusion.

In general, given a pair of lenses foo and bar

fusing (foo.bar) = foo.bar

however, foo and bar are either going to fmap internally or they are trivial.

fusing exploits the Yoneda lemma to merge these separate uses into a single fmap.

This is particularly effective when the choice of functor f is unknown at compile time or when the Lens foo.bar in the above description is recursive or complex enough to prevent inlining.

fusing :: Lens s t a b -> Lens s t a b

Every IndexedLens is a valid Lens and a valid IndexedTraversal.

type IndexedLens' i = Simple (IndexedLens i)

Build an IndexedLens from a Getter and a Setter.

Build an index-preserving Lens from a Getter and a Setter.

Adjust the target of an IndexedLens returning a supplementary result, or adjust all of the targets of an IndexedTraversal and return a monoidal summary of the supplementary results and the answer.

(%%@~) ≡ withIndex

(%%@~) :: Functor f => IndexedLens i s t a b      -> (i -> a -> f b) -> s -> f t
(%%@~) :: Applicative f => IndexedTraversal i s t a b -> (i -> a -> f b) -> s -> f t

In particular, it is often useful to think of this function as having one of these even more restricted type signatures:

(%%@~) ::             IndexedLens i s t a b      -> (i -> a -> (r, b)) -> s -> (r, t)
(%%@~) :: Monoid r => IndexedTraversal i s t a b -> (i -> a -> (r, b)) -> s -> (r, t)

Adjust the target of an IndexedLens returning the intermediate result, or adjust all of the targets of an IndexedTraversal and return a monoidal summary along with the answer.

l <%~ f ≡ l <%@~ const f

When you do not need access to the index then (<%~) is more liberal in what it can accept.

If you do not need the intermediate result, you can use (%@~) or even (%~).

(<%@~) ::             IndexedLens i s t a b      -> (i -> a -> b) -> s -> (b, t)
(<%@~) :: Monoid b => IndexedTraversal i s t a b -> (i -> a -> b) -> s -> (b, t)

Adjust the target of an IndexedLens returning the old value, or adjust all of the targets of an IndexedTraversal and return a monoidal summary of the old values along with the answer.

(<<%@~) ::             IndexedLens i s t a b      -> (i -> a -> b) -> s -> (a, t)
(<<%@~) :: Monoid a => IndexedTraversal i s t a b -> (i -> a -> b) -> s -> (a, t)

Adjust the target of an IndexedLens returning a supplementary result, or adjust all of the targets of an IndexedTraversal within the current state, and return a monoidal summary of the supplementary results.

l %%@= f ≡ state (l %%@~ f)

(%%@=) :: MonadState s m                 => IndexedLens i s s a b      -> (i -> a -> (r, b)) -> s -> m r
(%%@=) :: (MonadState s m, Monoid r) => IndexedTraversal i s s a b -> (i -> a -> (r, b)) -> s -> m r

Adjust the target of an IndexedLens returning the intermediate result, or adjust all of the targets of an IndexedTraversal within the current state, and return a monoidal summary of the intermediate results.

(<%@=) :: MonadState s m                 => IndexedLens i s s a b      -> (i -> a -> b) -> m b
(<%@=) :: (MonadState s m, Monoid b) => IndexedTraversal i s s a b -> (i -> a -> b) -> m b

Adjust the target of an IndexedLens returning the old value, or adjust all of the targets of an IndexedTraversal within the current state, and return a monoidal summary of the old values.

(<<%@=) :: MonadState s m                 => IndexedLens i s s a b      -> (i -> a -> b) -> m a
(<<%@=) :: (MonadState s m, Monoid b) => IndexedTraversal i s s a b -> (i -> a -> b) -> m a

When you see this as an argument to a function, it expects a Lens.

This type can also be used when you need to store a Lens in a container, since it is rank-1. You can turn them back into a Lens with cloneLens, or use it directly with combinators like storing and (^#).

type ALens' = Simple ALens

When you see this as an argument to a function, it expects an IndexedLens

type AnIndexedLens' = Simple (AnIndexedLens i)

Cloning a Lens is one way to make sure you aren't given something weaker, such as a Traversal and can be used as a way to pass around lenses that have to be monomorphic in f.

Note: This only accepts a proper Lens.

>>> let example l x = set (cloneLens l) (x^.cloneLens l + 1) x in example _2 ("hello",1,"you")
("hello",2,"you")

Clone a Lens as an IndexedPreservingLens that just passes through whatever index is on any IndexedLens, IndexedFold, IndexedGetter or IndexedTraversal it is composed with.

Clone an IndexedLens as an IndexedLens with the same index.

This Lens lets you view the current pos of any indexed store comonad and seek to a new position. This reduces the API for working these instances to a single Lens.

ipos w ≡ w ^. locus
iseek s w ≡ w & locus .~ s
iseeks f w ≡ w & locus %~ f

locus :: Lens' (Context' a s) a
locus :: Conjoined p => Lens' (Pretext' p a s) a
locus :: Conjoined p => Lens' (PretextT' p g a s) a

The indexed store can be used to characterize a Lens and is used by cloneLens.

Context a b t is isomorphic to newtype Context a b t = Context { runContext :: forall f. Functor f => (a -> f b) -> f t }, and to exists s. (s, Lens s t a b).

A Context is like a Lens that has already been applied to a some structure.

type Context' a s = Context a a s
