mvc-1.0.5: src/MVC.hs
{-| Use the `Model` - `View` - `Controller` pattern to separate impure inputs
and outputs from pure application logic so that you can:
* Equationally reason about your model
* Exercise your model with property-based testing (like @QuickCheck@)
* Reproducibly replay your model
The @mvc@ library uses the type system to statically enforce the separation
of impure `View`s and `Controller`s from the pure `Model`.
Here's a small example program written using the @mvc@ library to illustrate
the core types and concepts:
> import MVC
> import qualified MVC.Prelude as MVC
> import qualified Pipes.Prelude as Pipes
>
> external :: Managed (View String, Controller String)
> external = do
> c1 <- MVC.stdinLines
> c2 <- MVC.tick 1
> return (MVC.stdoutLines, c1 <> fmap show c2)
>
> model :: Model () String String
> model = asPipe (Pipes.takeWhile (/= "quit"))
>
> main :: IO ()
> main = runMVC () model external
This program has three components:
* A `Controller` that interleaves lines from standard input with periodic
ticks
* A `View` that writes lines to standard output
* A pure `Model`, which forwards lines until the user inputs \"quit\"
'runMVC' connects them into a complete program, which outputs a @()@ every
second and also echoes standard input to standard output until the user
enters \"quit\":
>>> main
()
Test<Enter>
Test
()
()
42<Enter>
42
()
quit<enter>
>>>
The following sections give extended guidance for how to structure @mvc@
programs. Additionally, there is an "MVC.Prelude" module, which provides
several utilities and provides a more elaborate code example using the
@sdl@ library.

{- $controller
`Controller`s represent concurrent inputs to your system. Use the `Functor`
and `Monoid` instances for `Controller` and `Managed` to unify multiple
`Managed` `Controller`s together into a single `Managed` `Controller`:
> controllerA :: Managed (Controller A)
> controllerB :: Managed (Controller B)
> controllerC :: Managed (Controller C)
>
> data TotalInput = InA A | InB B | InC C
>
> controllerTotal :: Managed (Controller TotalInput)
> controllerTotal =
> fmap (fmap InA) controllerA
> <> fmap (fmap InB) controllerB
> <> fmap (fmap InC) controllerC
Combining `Controller`s interleaves their values.

{- $view
`View`s represent outputs of your system. Use `handles` and the `Monoid`
instance of `View` to unify multiple `View`s together into a single `View`:
> viewD :: Managed (View D)
> viewE :: Managed (View E)
> viewF :: Managed (View F)
>
> data TotalOutput = OutD D | OutE E | OutF F
>
> makePrisms ''TotalOutput -- Generates _OutD, _OutE, and _OutF prisms
>
> viewTotal :: Managed (View TotalOutput)
> viewTotal =
> fmap (handles _OutD) viewD
> <> fmap (handles _OutE) viewE
> <> fmap (handles _OutF) viewF
Combining `View`s sequences their outputs.
If a @lens@ dependency is too heavy-weight, then you can manually generate
`Traversal`s, which `handles` will also accept. Here is an example of how
you can generate `Traversal`s by hand with no dependencies:
> -- _OutD :: Traversal' TotalOutput D
> _OutD :: Applicative f => (D -> f D) -> (TotalOutput -> f TotalOutput)
> _OutD k (OutD d) = fmap OutD (k d)
> _OutD k t = pure t
>
> -- _OutE :: Traversal' TotalOutput E
> _OutE :: Applicative f => (E -> f E) -> (TotalOutput -> f TotalOutput)
> _OutE k (OutE d) = fmap OutE (k d)
> _OutE k t = pure t
>
> -- _OutF :: Traversal' TotalOutput F
> _OutF :: Applicative f => (F -> f F) -> (TotalOutput -> f TotalOutput)
> _OutF k (OutF d) = fmap OutF (k d)
> _OutF k t = pure t

{- $model
`Model`s are stateful streams and they sit in between `Controller`s and
`View`s.
Use `State` to internally communicate within the `Model`.
Read the \"ListT\" section which describes why you should prefer `ListT`
over `Pipe` when possible.
Also, try to defer converting your `Pipe` to a `Model` until you call
`runMVC`, because the conversion is not reversible and `Pipe` is strictly
more featureful than `Model`.

{- $mvc
Connect a `Model`, `View`, and `Controller` and an initial state
together using `runMVC` to complete your application.
`runMVC` is the only way to consume `View`s and `Controller`s. The types
forbid you from mixing `View` and `Controller` logic with your `Model`
logic.
Note that `runMVC` only accepts one `View` and one `Controller`. This
enforces a single entry point and exit point for your `Model` so that you
can cleanly separate your `Model` logic from your `View` logic and
`Controller` logic. The way you add more `View`s and `Controller`s to your
program is by unifying them into a single `View` or `Controller` by using
their `Monoid` instances. See the \"Controllers\" and \"Views\" sections
for more details on how to do this.

{- $managed
Use `managed` to create primitive `Managed` resources and use the `Functor`,
`Applicative`, `Monad`, and `Monoid` instances for `Managed` to bundle
multiple `Managed` resources into a single `Managed` resource.
See the source code for the \"Utilities\" section below for several examples
of how to create `Managed` resources.

loop :: Monad m => (a -> ListT m b) -> Pipe a b m r
loop k = for cat (every . k)
{-# INLINABLE loop #-}
{- $listT
`ListT` computations can be combined in more ways than `Pipe`s, so try to
program in `ListT` as much as possible and defer converting it to a `Pipe`
as late as possible using `loop`.
You can combine `ListT` computations even if their inputs and outputs are
completely different:
> -- Independent computations
>
> modelAToD :: A -> ListT (State S) D
> modelBToE :: B -> ListT (State S) E
> modelCToF :: C -> ListT (State s) F
>
> modelInToOut :: TotalInput -> ListT (State S) TotalOutput
> modelInToOut totalInput = case totalInput of
> InA a -> fmap OutD (modelAToD a)
> InB b -> fmap OutE (modelBToE b)
> InC c -> fmap OutF (modelCToF c)
Sometimes you have multiple computations that handle different inputs but
the same output, in which case you don't need to unify their outputs:
> -- Overlapping outputs
>
> modelAToOut :: A -> ListT (State S) Out
> modelBToOut :: B -> ListT (State S) Out
> modelCToOut :: C -> ListT (State S) Out
>
> modelInToOut :: TotalInput -> ListT (State S) TotalOutput
> modelInToOut totalInput = case totalInput of
> InA a -> modelAToOut a
> InB b -> modelBToOut b
> InC c -> modelCToOut c
Other times you have multiple computations that handle the same input but
produce different outputs. You can unify their outputs using the `Monoid`
and `Functor` instances for `ListT`:
> -- Overlapping inputs
>
> modelInToA :: TotalInput -> ListT (State S) A
> modelInToB :: TotalInput -> ListT (State S) B
> modelInToC :: TotalInput -> ListT (State S) C
>
> modelInToOut :: TotalInput -> ListT (State S) TotalOutput
> modelInToOut totalInput =
> fmap OutA (modelInToA totalInput)
> <> fmap OutB (modelInToB totalInput)
> <> fmap OutC (modelInToC totalInput)
You can also chain `ListT` computations, feeding the output of the first
computation as the input to the next computation:
> -- End-to-end
>
> modelInToMiddle :: TotalInput -> ListT (State S) MiddleStep
> modelMiddleToOut :: MiddleStep -> ListT (State S) TotalOutput
>
> modelInToOut :: TotalInput -> ListT (State S) TotalOutput
> modelInToOut = modelInToMiddle >=> modelMiddleToOut
... or you can just use @do@ notation if you prefer.
However, the `Pipe` type is more general than `ListT` and can represent
things like termination. Therefore you should consider mixing `Pipe`s with
`ListT` when you need to take advantage of these extra features:
> -- Mix ListT with Pipes
>
> pipe :: Pipe TotalInput TotalOutput (State S) ()
> pipe = Pipes.takeWhile (not . isC)) >-> loop modelInToOut
> where
> isC (InC _) = True
> isC _ = False
So promote your `ListT` logic to a `Pipe` when you need to take advantage of
these `Pipe`-specific features.
