-- $intro
--
-- A dynamically dispatched effect is a collection of operations that can be
-- interpreted in different ways at runtime, depending on the handler that is
-- used to run the effect.
--
-- This allows a programmer to separate the __what__ from the __how__,
-- i.e. define effects that model what the code should do, while providing
-- handlers that determine how it should do it later. Moreover, different
-- environments can use different handlers to change the behavior of specific
-- parts of the application if appropriate.
--
-- $example
--
-- Let's create an effect for basic file access, i.e. writing and reading files.
--
-- First, we need to define a generalized algebraic data type of kind 'Effect',
-- where each constructor corresponds to a specific operation of the effect in
-- question.
--
-- >>> :{
-- data FileSystem :: Effect where
-- ReadFile :: FilePath -> FileSystem m String
-- WriteFile :: FilePath -> String -> FileSystem m ()
-- :}
--
-- >>> type instance DispatchOf FileSystem = Dynamic
--
-- The @FileSystem@ effect has two operations:
--
-- - @ReadFile@, which takes a @FilePath@ and returns a @String@ in the monadic
-- context.
--
-- - @WriteFile@, which takes a @FilePath@, a @String@ and returns a @()@ in the
-- monadic context.
--
-- For people familiar with @mtl@ style effects, note that the syntax looks very
-- similar to defining an appropriate type class:
--
-- @
-- class FileSystem m where
-- readFile :: FilePath -> m String
-- writeFile :: FilePath -> String -> m ()
-- @
--
-- The biggest difference between these two is that the definition of a type
-- class gives us operations as functions, while the definition of an effect
-- gives us operations as data constructors. They can be turned into functions
-- with the help of 'send':
--
-- >>> :{
-- readFile :: (HasCallStack, FileSystem :> es) => FilePath -> Eff es String
-- readFile path = send (ReadFile path)
-- :}
--
-- >>> :{
-- writeFile :: (HasCallStack, FileSystem :> es) => FilePath -> String -> Eff es ()
-- writeFile path content = send (WriteFile path content)
-- :}
--
-- /Note:/ the above functions and the 'DispatchOf' instance can also be
-- automatically generated by the @makeEffect@ function from the @effectful-th@
-- library.
--
-- The following defines an 'EffectHandler' that reads and writes files from the
-- drive:
--
-- >>> import Control.Exception (IOException)
-- >>> import Control.Monad.Catch (catch)
-- >>> import qualified System.IO as IO
--
-- >>> import Effectful.Error.Static
--
-- >>> newtype FsError = FsError String deriving Show
--
-- >>> :{
-- runFileSystemIO
-- :: (IOE :> es, Error FsError :> es)
-- => Eff (FileSystem : es) a
-- -> Eff es a
-- runFileSystemIO = interpret $ \_ -> \case
-- ReadFile path -> adapt $ IO.readFile path
-- WriteFile path contents -> adapt $ IO.writeFile path contents
-- where
-- adapt m = liftIO m `catch` \(e::IOException) -> throwError . FsError $ show e
-- :}
--
-- Here, we use 'interpret' and simply execute corresponding 'IO' actions for
-- each operation, additionally doing a bit of error management.
--
-- On the other hand, maybe there is a situation in which instead of interacting
-- with the outside world, a pure, in-memory storage is preferred:
--
-- >>> import qualified Data.Map.Strict as M
--
-- >>> import Effectful.State.Static.Local
--
-- >>> :{
-- runFileSystemPure
-- :: Error FsError :> es
-- => M.Map FilePath String
-- -> Eff (FileSystem : es) a
-- -> Eff es a
-- runFileSystemPure fs0 = reinterpret (evalState fs0) $ \_ -> \case
-- ReadFile path -> gets (M.lookup path) >>= \case
-- Just contents -> pure contents
-- Nothing -> throwError . FsError $ "File not found: " ++ show path
-- WriteFile path contents -> modify $ M.insert path contents
-- :}
--
-- Here, we use 'reinterpret' and introduce a
-- t'Effectful.State.Static.Local.State' effect for the storage that is private
-- to the effect handler and cannot be accessed outside of it.
--
-- Let's compare how these differ.
--
-- >>> :{
-- action = do
-- file <- readFile "effectful-core.cabal"
-- pure $ length file > 0
-- :}
--
-- >>> :t action
-- action :: (FileSystem :> es) => Eff es Bool
--
-- >>> runEff . runError @FsError . runFileSystemIO $ action
-- Right True
--
-- >>> runPureEff . runErrorNoCallStack @FsError . runFileSystemPure M.empty $ action
-- Left (FsError "File not found: \"effectful-core.cabal\"")
--
-- $order
--
-- Note that the definition of the @FileSystem@ effect from the previous section
-- doesn't use the @m@ type parameter. What is more, when the effect is
-- interpreted, the 'LocalEnv' argument of the 'EffectHandler' is also not
-- used. Such effects are /first order/.
--
-- If an effect makes use of the @m@ parameter, it is a /higher order effect/.
--
-- Interpretation of higher order effects is slightly more involved. To see why,
-- let's consider the @Profiling@ effect for logging how much time a specific
-- action took to run:
--
-- >>> :{
-- data Profiling :: Effect where
-- Profile :: String -> m a -> Profiling m a
-- :}
--
-- >>> type instance DispatchOf Profiling = Dynamic
--
-- >>> :{
-- profile :: (HasCallStack, Profiling :> es) => String -> Eff es a -> Eff es a
-- profile label action = send (Profile label action)
-- :}
--
-- If we naively try to interpret it, we will run into trouble:
--
-- >>> import GHC.Clock (getMonotonicTime)
--
-- >>> :{
-- runProfiling :: IOE :> es => Eff (Profiling : es) a -> Eff es a
-- runProfiling = interpret $ \_ -> \case
-- Profile label action -> do
-- t1 <- liftIO getMonotonicTime
-- r <- action
-- t2 <- liftIO getMonotonicTime
-- liftIO . putStrLn $ "Action '" ++ label ++ "' took " ++ show (t2 - t1) ++ " seconds."
-- pure r
-- :}
-- ...
-- ... Couldn't match type ‘localEs’ with ‘es’
-- ...
--
-- The problem is that @action@ has a type @Eff localEs a@, while the monad of
-- the effect handler is @Eff es@. @localEs@ represents the /local environment/
-- in which the @Profile@ operation was called, which is opaque as the effect
-- handler cannot possibly know how it looks like.
--
-- The solution is to use the 'LocalEnv' that an 'EffectHandler' is given to run
-- the action using one of the functions from the 'localUnlift' family:
--
-- >>> :{
-- runProfiling :: IOE :> es => Eff (Profiling : es) a -> Eff es a
-- runProfiling = interpret $ \env -> \case
-- Profile label action -> localSeqUnliftIO env $ \unlift -> do
-- t1 <- getMonotonicTime
-- r <- unlift action
-- t2 <- getMonotonicTime
-- putStrLn $ "Action '" ++ label ++ "' took " ++ show (t2 - t1) ++ " seconds."
-- pure r
-- :}
--
-- In a similar way we can define a dummy interpreter that does no profiling:
--
-- >>> :{
-- runNoProfiling :: Eff (Profiling : es) a -> Eff es a
-- runNoProfiling = interpret $ \env -> \case
-- Profile label action -> localSeqUnlift env $ \unlift -> unlift action
-- :}
--
-- ...and it's done.
--
-- >>> action = profile "greet" . liftIO $ putStrLn "Hello!"
--
-- >>> :t action
-- action :: (Profiling :> es, IOE :> es) => Eff es ()
--
-- >>> runEff . runProfiling $ action
-- Hello!
-- Action 'greet' took ... seconds.
--
-- >>> runEff . runNoProfiling $ action
-- Hello!
--
-- $integration
--
-- There exists a lot of libraries that provide their functionality as an @mtl@
-- style effect, which generally speaking is a type class that contains core
-- operations of the library in question.
--
-- Such effects are quite easy to use with the 'Eff' monad. As an example,
-- consider the @mtl@ style effect for generation of random numbers:
--
-- >>> :{
-- class Monad m => MonadRNG m where
-- randomInt :: m Int
-- :}
--
-- Let's say the library also defines a helper function for generation of random
-- strings:
--
-- >>> import Control.Monad
-- >>> import Data.Char
--
-- >>> :{
-- randomString :: MonadRNG m => Int -> m String
-- randomString n = map chr <$> replicateM n randomInt
-- :}
--
-- To make it possible to use it with the 'Eff' monad, the first step is to
-- create an effect with operations that mirror the ones of a type class:
--
-- >>> :{
-- data RNG :: Effect where
-- RandomInt :: RNG m Int
-- :}
--
-- >>> type instance DispatchOf RNG = Dynamic
--
-- If we continued as in the example above, we'd now create top level helper
-- functions that execute effect operations using 'send', in this case
-- @randomInt@ tied to @RandomInt@. But this function is already declared by the
-- @MonadRNG@ type class! Therefore, what we do instead is provide an
-- __orphan__, __canonical__ instance of @MonadRNG@ for 'Eff' that delegates to
-- the @RNG@ effect:
--
-- >>> :set -XUndecidableInstances
--
-- >>> :{
-- instance RNG :> es => MonadRNG (Eff es) where
-- randomInt = send RandomInt
-- :}
--
-- Now we only need an interpreter:
--
-- >>> :{
-- runDummyRNG :: Eff (RNG : es) a -> Eff es a
-- runDummyRNG = interpret $ \_ -> \case
-- RandomInt -> pure 55
-- :}
--
-- and we can use any function that requires a @MonadRNG@ constraint with the
-- 'Eff' monad as long as the @RNG@ effect is in place:
--
-- >>> runEff . runDummyRNG $ randomString 3
-- "777"
