Traversals for manipulating parts of a list.

Additional optics for manipulating lists are present more generically in this package.

The Ixed class allows traversing the element at a specific list index.

>>> [0..10] ^? ix 4
Just 4

>>> [0..5] & ix 4 .~ 2
[0,1,2,3,2,5]

>>> [0..10] ^? ix 14
Nothing

>>> [0..5] & ix 14 .~ 2
[0,1,2,3,4,5]

The Cons and AsEmpty classes provide Prism s for list constructors.

>>> [1..10] ^? _Cons
Just (1,[2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10])

>>> [] ^? _Cons
Nothing

>>> [] ^? _Empty
Just ()

>>> _Cons # (1, _Empty # ()) :: [Int]
[1]

Additionally, Snoc provides a Prism for accessing the end of a list. Note that this Prism always will need to traverse the whole list.

>>> [1..5] ^? _Snoc
Just ([1,2,3,4],5)

>>> _Snoc # ([1,2],5)
[1,2,5]

An instance of Plated allows for finding locations in the list where a traversal matches.

>>> [Nothing, Just 7, Just 3, Nothing] & deep (ix 0 . _Just) +~ 10
[Nothing,Just 17,Just 3,Nothing]

An instance of Reversing provides an Iso between a list and its reverse.

>>> "live" & reversed %~ ('d':)
"lived"

Finally, it's possible to traverse, fold over, and map over index-value pairs thanks to instances of TraversableWithIndex , FoldableWithIndex , and FunctorWithIndex .

>>> imap (,) "Hello"
[(0,'H'),(1,'e'),(2,'l'),(3,'l'),(4,'o')]

>>> ifoldMap replicate "Hello"
"ellllloooo"

>>> itraverse_ (curry print) "Hello"
(0,'H')
(1,'e')
(2,'l')
(3,'l')
(4,'o')
