Description
- Computation type:
- Computations which may fail or throw exceptions.
- Binding strategy:
- Failure records information about the cause/location of the failure. Failure values bypass the bound function, other values are used as inputs to the bound function.
- Useful for:
- Building computations from sequences of functions that may fail or using exception handling to structure error handling.
- Zero and plus:
- Zero is represented by an empty error and the plus operation executes its second argument if the first fails.
- Example type:
Either String a
The Error monad (also called the Exception monad).
An exception to be thrown.
Minimal complete definition: noMsg or strMsg.
Minimal complete definition
Nothing
Methods
Creates an exception without a message. The default implementation is strMsg "".
Creates an exception with a message. The default implementation of strMsg s is noMsg.
Instances
| Error IOException | |
Defined in Control.Monad.Trans.Error | |
| ErrorList a => Error [a] | A string can be thrown as an error. |
class Monad m => MonadError e m | m -> e where Source
The strategy of combining computations that can throw exceptions by bypassing bound functions from the point an exception is thrown to the point that it is handled.
Is parameterized over the type of error information and the monad type constructor. It is common to use Either String as the monad type constructor for an error monad in which error descriptions take the form of strings. In that case and many other common cases the resulting monad is already defined as an instance of the MonadError class. You can also define your own error type and/or use a monad type constructor other than Either String or Either IOError. In these cases you will have to explicitly define instances of the MonadError class. (If you are using the deprecated Control.Monad.Error or Control.Monad.Trans.Error, you may also have to define an Error instance.)
Methods
throwError :: e -> m a Source
Is used within a monadic computation to begin exception processing.
catchError :: m a -> (e -> m a) -> m a Source
A handler function to handle previous errors and return to normal execution. A common idiom is:
do { action1; action2; action3 } `catchError` handler
where the action functions can call throwError. Note that handler and the do-block must have the same return type.
Instances
liftEither :: MonadError e m => Either e a -> m a Source
Lifts an Either e into any MonadError e.
do { val <- liftEither =<< action1; action2 }
where action1 returns an Either to represent errors.
