如何在 Haskell 中控制流程

Question

我马上举例说明我想做什么。

version1 :: IO ()
version1 =
  if boolCheck
     then case maybeCheck of
            Nothing -> putStrLn "Error: simple maybe failed"
            Just v  -> case eitherCheck of
                         Left  e -> putStrLn $ "Error: " ++ show e
                         Right w -> monadicBoolCheck v >>= \case
                                      False -> putStrLn "Error: monadic bool check failed"
                                      True  -> print "successfully doing the thing"
    else putStrLn "simple bool check failed"

基本上我想"do a thing"在一些检查结果为阳性的情况下。每当单次检查结果为负数时，我想保留有关违规检查的信息并中止任务。在现实生活中，这些支票有不同的类型，因此我称它们为

boolCheck        :: Bool
maybeCheck       :: Maybe a
eitherCheck      :: Show a => Either a b
monadicBoolCheck :: Monad m => m Bool

这些只是例子。也可以随意考虑 monadic Maybe，EitherT 或我提取 head 的单例列表，当它不是单例时失败。

现在我正在尝试改进上述实现，Either monad 进入我的脑海，因为它具有中止并显示错误消息的概念。

version2 :: IO ()
version2 = do
  result <- runEitherT $ do
    if boolCheck
       then pure ()
       else left "simple bool check failed"
    v <- case maybeCheck of
           Just x  -> pure x
           Nothing -> left "simple maybe check failed"
    w <- hoistEither . mapLeft show $ eitherCheck
    monadicBoolCheck v >>= \case
      True  -> pure ()
      False -> left  "monadic bool check failed"
  case result of
    Left  msg -> putStrLn $ "Error: " ++ msg
    Right _   -> print "successfully doing the thing"

虽然我更喜欢 version2，但可读性的提高可能微不足道。版本 2 在添加更多检查方面更胜一筹。

是否有一种最终优雅的方式来做到这一点？

我不喜欢的：

1) 我在一定程度上滥用了 Either monad，而我实际上做的更像是一个 Maybe monad，其中包含 Just 和 Nothing 的卷monadic 绑定

2) 将支票转换为 Either 需要相当冗长的 case 或转换函数（如 hoistEither）。

提高可读性的方法可能是：

1) 定义辅助函数以允许像

这样的代码

v <- myMaybePairToEither "This check failed" monadicMaybePairCheck

monadicMaybePairCheck :: Monad m => m (Maybe x, y)
...
myMaybePairToEither :: String -> m (Maybe x, y) -> EitherT m e z
myMaybePairToEither _   (Just x, y)  = pure $ f x y
myMaybePairToEither msg (Nothing, _) = left msg

2) 始终使用显式大小写，甚至不使用 hoistEither

3) 定义我自己的 monad 来阻止 Either 滥用......我可以提供所有的转换函数（如果没有人已经做过类似的事情）

4) 尽可能使用 maybe 和 either

5) ... ?

Answer 1

"Define helper functions" 正是我处理这个问题的方式。 errors library provides many already, with the possible exception of satisfying Bool functions. For those I would just use when/unless.

当然，在可能的范围内，您应该将调用的操作提升为适当的多态性，这样就不需要转换。

Answer 2

使用 maybe、either 和 mtl 包。顺便说一下，eitherCheck :: Show a => Either a b 的 Show a 约束可能不是您想要的：它允许调用者选择他们想要的任何类型，只要该类型实现了 Show a。您可能打算让 a 成为一种类型，以便调用者仅能够调用 show 值。可能吧！

{-# LANGUAGE FlexibleContexts #-}

newtype Error = Error String

gauntlet :: MonadError Error m => m ()
gauntlet = do
  unless boolCheck (throw "simple bool check failed")
  _ <- maybe (throw "simple maybe check failed") pure maybeCheck
  _ <- either throw pure eitherCheck
  x <- monadicBoolCheck
  unless x (throw "monadic bool check failed")
  return ()
  where
    throw = throwError . Error

version2 :: IO ()
version2 =
  putStrLn (case gauntlet of
              Left (Error e) ->
                "Error: " ++ e
              Right _ ->
                "successfully doing thing")

Answer 3

所以我可能会首先将您的 version2 改造成类似

的东西

import Control.Monad.Trans
import Control.Monad.Trans.Either hiding (left, right)
import Control.Monad
import Control.Applicative
import Control.Arrow

version3 :: IO ()
version3 = eitherT onFailure onSuccess $ do
    guard boolCheck <|> fail "simple bool check failed"
    v <- hoistEither $ maybe (Left "simple maybe check failed") Right maybeCheck
    w <- hoistEither . left show $ eitherCheck
    lift (guard =<< monadicBoolCheck v) <|> fail "monadic boolcheck failed"
  where
    onFailure msg = putStrLn $ "Error: "++msg
    onSuccess _   = print "successfully doing the thing"

我觉得它更具可读性，但仍然有点尴尬，所以如果我做了很多像这样的代码，我会介绍一些助手：

version4 :: IO ()
version4 = eitherT onFailure onSuccess $ do
    failUnless "simple bool check failed" boolCheck
    v <- hoistMaybe "simple maybe check failed" maybeCheck
    w <- hoistEitherWith show eitherCheck
    failUnless "monadic boolcheck failed" =<< lift (monadicBoolCheck v)
  where
    onFailure msg = putStrLn $ "Error: "++msg
    onSuccess _   = print "successfully doing the thing"

failUnless :: Monad m => String -> Bool -> m ()
failUnless _ True = return ()
failUnless msg _ = fail msg

hoistMaybe :: Monad m => e -> Maybe a -> EitherT e m a
hoistMaybe err = hoistEither . maybe (Left err) Right

hoistEitherWith :: Monad m => (e -> e') -> Either e a -> EitherT e' m a
hoistEitherWith f = hoistEither . left f

Answer 4

为了在此处获得所有可能的选项，请查看此要点：

https://gist.github.com/rubenmoor/c390901247e4e7bb97cf

它定义了几个辅助函数，基本上结合了maybe、either等和throwError。并产生这样的代码。

gauntlet :: MonadError Error m => m (a, b, c)
gauntlet = do
    assertTrue boolCheck $ Error "simple bool check failed"
    v <- assertJust maybeCheck $ Error "simple maybe check failed"
    assertNothing maybeCheck' $ Error . show
    w <- assertRight eitherCheck $ Error . show
    b <- monadicBoolCheck
    assertTrue b $ Error "monadic bool check failed"
    x <- assertSingletonList list $ Error "list not singleton"
    pure (v, w, x)

version3 :: IO ()
version3 = putStrLn $
  case gauntlet of
    Left  (Error e) -> "Error: " ++ e
    Right result    -> "successfully doing thing with result"
