Documentation
maybeToEither | Source
:: MonadError e m |
=> e | (Left e) will be returned if the Maybe value is Nothing
-> Maybe a | (Right a) will be returned if this is (Just a)
-> m a |
Converts a Maybe value to an Either value, using the supplied parameter as the Left value if the Maybe is Nothing. This function can be interpreted as:
    maybeToEither :: e -> Maybe a -> Either e a
Its definition is given as it is so that it can be used in the Error and related monads.
forceEither :: Show e => Either e a -> a | Source
Pulls a Right value out of an Either value. If the Either value is Left, raises an exception with error.
forceEitherMsg :: Show e => String -> Either e a -> a | Source
Like `forceEither`, but can raise a specific message with the error.
eitherToMonadError :: MonadError e m => Either e a -> m a | Source
Takes an either and transforms it into something of the more generic MonadError class.
fromLeft :: Either a b -> a | Source
Take a Left to a value, crashes on a Right
fromRight :: Either a b -> b | Source
Take a Right to a value, crashes on a Left
fromEither :: Either a a -> a | Source
Take an Either, and return the value inside it
