Description

This monad transformer extends a monad with the ability throw exceptions.

A sequence of actions terminates normally, producing a value, only if none of the actions in the sequence throws an exception. If one throws an exception, the rest of the sequence is skipped and the composite action exits with that exception.

If the value of the exception is not required, the variant in Control.Monad.Trans.Maybe may be used instead.

The Except monad

type Except e = ExceptT e Identity Source

The parameterizable exception monad.

Computations are either exceptions or normal values.

The return function returns a normal value, while >>= exits on the first exception. For a variant that continies after an error and collects all the errors, see Errors.

except :: Either e a -> Except e a Source

Constructor for computations in the exception monad. (The inverse of runExcept).

runExcept :: Except e a -> Either e a Source

Extractor for computations in the exception monad. (The inverse of except).

mapExcept :: (Either e a -> Either e' b) -> Except e a -> Except e' b Source

Map the unwrapped computation using the given function.

withExcept :: (e -> e') -> Except e a -> Except e' a Source

Transform any exceptions thrown by the computation using the given function (a specialization of withExceptT).

The ExceptT monad transformer

newtype ExceptT e m a Source

A monad transformer that adds exceptions to other monads.

ExceptT constructs a monad parameterized over two things:

  • e - The exception type.
  • m - The inner monad.

The return function yields a computation that produces the given value, while >>= sequences two subcomputations, exiting on the first exception.
