# List arrows for Haskell.
[](https://travis-ci.org/silkapp/arrow-list)
This small Haskell library provides some type classes, types and functions to
work with list arrows and the more generalized container arrows. List arrows
represent computations that may return multiple outputs. Making functions that
return lists an instance of both the `Category` and `Arrow` type classes allow
you to easily compose multiple computations into one with standard building
blocks.
This package provides:
- A type class `ArrowList` for embedding functions that produce a list of
outputs into _some_ list arrow.
- A list of utility functions for working with list-arrows, these functions
are based on the `ArrowList` type class so they are not tied one specific
instance.
- A concrete list arrow type that is implemented as a `Kleisli` arrow over
the `ListT` list monad transformer. In short, you can both build pure list
arrows and list arrows that produce tributary effects.
- Not list arrow specific: A type class `ArrowKleisli` for embedding monadic
computations into an arrow.
- A type class `ArrowF` for embedding functions that produce a some
Foldable + Alternative functor of outputs into _some_ container arrow.
