I am using scalaz7 in a project and sometimes I run into issues with imports. The simplest way get started is
import scalaz._
import Scalaz._
but sometimes this can lead to conflicts. What I have been doing until now the following slightly painful process:
-Xprint:typer
to find out how the code looks after implicit resolutionAlthough this works, I would like to streamline it. I see that scalaz7 has much more fine-grained imports, but I do not fully understand how they are organized. For instance, I see one can do
import scalaz.std.option._
import scalaz.std.AllInstances._
import scalaz.std.AllFunctions._
import scalaz.syntax.monad._
import scalaz.syntax.all._
import scalaz.syntax.std.boolean._
import scalaz.syntax.std.all._
and so on.
How are these sub-imports organized?
As an example, say I want to work with validations. What would I need, for instance to inject validation implicits and make the following compile?
3.fail[String]
What about making ValidationNEL[A, B]
an instance of Applicative
?
This blog post explains the package structure and imports a la carte in scalaz7 in detail: http://eed3si9n.com/learning-scalaz-day13
For your specific examples, for 3.failure[String] you'd need:
import scalaz.syntax.validation._
Validation already has a method ap
:
scala> "hello".successNel[Int] ap ((s: String) => "x"+s).successNel[Int]
res1: scalaz.Validation[scalaz.NonEmptyList[Int],java.lang.String] = Success(xhello)
To get the <*> operator, you need this import:
import scalaz.syntax.applicative._
Then you can do:
"hello".successNel[Int] <*> ((s: String) => "x"+s).successNel[Int]
