TypeAlias
In Haskell it is possible to create an alias for a Type, and to then use that alias with the same behaviour as the original, except that the compiler doesn't treat the alias as the same Type and will generate compiler errors if you try and use them together. e.g.:
type PhoneNumber = String
type Name = String
type PhoneBook = [(Name,PhoneNumber)]In Java we don't have the ability to have that true alias, so TypeAlias is more of a type-wrapper. It's as close as I could get to a Haskell type alias in Java.
The benefits of using TypeAlias are:
- encapsulation of the wrapped type when passing references through code that doesn't need to access the actual value, but only to pass it on
- type-safe parameters where you would otherwise be passing Strings, Integers, Lists, or other general classes
- equality and hashcode
- less verbose than implementing your own
TypeAlias Example:
class PhoneNumber extends TypeAlias<String> {
private PhoneNumber(final String value) {
super(value);
}
public static PhoneNumber of(final String phoneNumber) {
return new PhoneNumber(phoneNumber);
}
}Roll your own:
class PhoneNumber {
private final String value;
private PhoneNumber(final String value) {
this.value = value;
}
public static PhoneNumber of(final String phoneNumber) {
return new PhoneNumber(phoneNumber);
}
@Override
public boolean equals(Object o) {
if (this == o) return true;
if (o == null || getClass() != o.getClass()) return false;
PhoneNumber that = (PhoneNumber) o;
return Objects.equals(value, that.value);
}
@Override
public int hashCode() {
return Objects.hash(value);
}
public String getValue() {
return value;
}
}Lombok:
Although, if you are using Lombok, that can be equally terse, both it and TypeAlias<String> coming in at 8 lines each, compared to 24 for rolling your own:
@Value
@RequiredArgsConstructor(access = AccessLevel.PRIVATE)
class PhoneNumber {
private final String value;
public static PhoneNumber of(final String phoneNumber) {
return new PhoneNumber(phoneNumber);
}
}
TypeAlias can be a Monad

public class TypeAliasMonadTest implements WithAssertions {
private final int v = 1;
private final Function<Integer, AnAlias<Integer>> f = i -> a(i * 2);
private final Function<Integer, AnAlias<Integer>> g = i -> a(i + 6);
private static AnAlias<Integer> a(Integer v) {
return AnAlias.of(v);
}
@Test

}
@Test

// java isn't able to properly infer the correct types when used in-line
assertThat(

static class AnAlias<T> extends TypeAlias<T> {
private AnAlias(T value) {
super(value);
}
static <T> AnAlias<T> of(T value) {
return new AnAlias<>(value);
}
}
}Instance Methods
final <R> R map(final Function<T, R> f)
Map the TypeAlias into another value.
final StudentId studentId = StudentId.of(123);
final String idString = studentId.map(id -> String.valueOf(id));
class StudentId extends TypeAlias<Integer> {
private StudentId(Integer value) {
super(value);
}
static StudentId of(Integer id) {
return new StudentId(id);
}
}
final <R, U extends TypeAlias<R>> U flatMap(final Function<T, U> f)
Map the TypeAlias into another TypeAlias.
final StudentId studentId = StudentId.of(123);
final StudentName studentName = studentId.flatMap(id -> getStudentName(id));
class StudentName extends TypeAlias<String> {
private StudentName(String value) {
super(value);
}
static StudentName of(final String name) {
return new StudentName(name);
}
}
T getValue()
Get the value of the TypeAlias.
final String name = studentName.getValue();Maybe
Allows specifying that a value may or may not be present. Similar to
Optional. Maybe provides additional methods that Optional doesn't:
isNothing(), stream(), ifNothing() and match(). Maybe does not
have a get() method.
Unlike Optional, when a map() results in a null, the Maybe will
continue to be a Just. Optional would switch to being empty. vavi.io
follows the same behaviour as Maybe.
import net.kemitix.mon.maybe.Maybe;
import java.util.function.Function;
import java.util.function.Predicate;
class MaybeExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Maybe.just(countArgs(args))
.filter(isEven())
.map(validMessage())
.match(
just -> System.out.println(just),
() -> System.out.println("Not an valid value")
);
}
private static Function<Integer, String> validMessage() {
return v -> String.format("Value %d is even", v);
}
private static Predicate<Integer> isEven() {
return v -> v % 2 == 0;
}
private static Integer countArgs(String[] args) {
return args.length;
}
}
In the above example, the number of command line arguments are counted, if
there are an even number of them then a message is created and printed by
the Consumer parameter in the match call. If there is an odd number of
arguments, then the filter will return Maybe.nothing(), meaning that the
nothing drops straight through the map and triggers the Runnable parameter
in the match call.
Maybe is a Monad:
package net.kemitix.mon;
import net.kemitix.mon.maybe.Maybe;
import org.assertj.core.api.WithAssertions;
import org.junit.Test;
import java.util.function.Function;
public class MaybeMonadTest implements WithAssertions {
private final int v = 1;
private final Function<Integer, Maybe<Integer>> f = i -> m(i * 2);
private final Function<Integer, Maybe<Integer>> g = i -> m(i + 6);
private static Maybe<Integer> m(int value) {
return Maybe.maybe(value);
}
@Test
public void leftIdentity() {
assertThat(
m(v).flatMap(f)
).isEqualTo(
f.apply(v)
);
}
@Test
public void rightIdentity() {
assertThat(
m(v).flatMap(x -> m(x))
).isEqualTo(
m(v)
);
}
@Test
public void associativity() {
assertThat(
m(v).flatMap(f).flatMap(g)
).isEqualTo(
m(v).flatMap(x -> f.apply(x).flatMap(g))
);
}
}Static Constructors
static <T> Maybe<T> maybe(T value)
Create a Maybe for the value that may or may not be present.
Where the value is null, that is taken as not being present.
final Maybe<Integer> just = Maybe.maybe(1);
final Maybe<Integer> nothing = Maybe.maybe(null);
static <T> Maybe<T> just(T value)
Create a Maybe for the value that is present.
The value must not be null or a NullPointerException will be thrown.
If you can't prove that the value won't be null you should use
Maybe.maybe(value) instead.
final Maybe<Integer> just = Maybe.just(1);
static <T> Maybe<T> nothing()
Create a Maybe for a lack of a value.
final Maybe<Integer> nothing = Maybe.nothing();Instance Methods
Maybe<T> filter(Predicate<T> predicate)
Filter a Maybe by the predicate, replacing with Nothing when it fails.
final Maybe<Integer> maybe = Maybe.maybe(getValue())
.filter(v -> v % 2 == 0);
<R> Maybe<R> map(Function<T,R> f)
Applies the function to the value within the Maybe, returning the result within another Maybe.
final Maybe<Integer> maybe = Maybe.maybe(getValue())
.map(v -> v * 100);
<R> Maybe<R> flatMap(Function<T,Maybe<R>> f)
Applies the function to the value within the Maybe, resulting in another Maybe, then flattens the resulting Maybe<Maybe<T>> into Maybe<T>.
Monad binder maps the Maybe into another Maybe using the binder method f
final Maybe<Integer> maybe = Maybe.maybe(getValue())
.flatMap(v -> Maybe.maybe(getValueFor(v)));
void match(Consumer<T> just, Runnable nothing)
Matches the Maybe, either just or nothing, and performs either the Consumer, for Just, or Runnable for nothing.
Maybe.maybe(getValue())
.match(
just -> workWithValue(just),
() -> nothingToWorkWith()
);
T orElse(T otherValue)
A value to use when Maybe is Nothing.
final Integer value = Maybe.maybe(getValue())
.orElse(1);
T orElseGet(Supplier<T> otherValueSupplier)
Provide a value to use when Maybe is Nothing.
final Integer value = Maybe.maybe(getValue())
.orElseGet(() -> getDefaultValue());
T or(Supplier<Maybe<T> alternative)
Provide an alternative Maybe to use when Maybe is Nothing.
final Maybe<Integer> value = Maybe.maybe(getValue())
.or(() -> Maybe.just(defaultValue));
void orElseThrow(Supplier<Exception> error)
Throw the exception if the Maybe is a Nothing.
final Integer value = Maybe.maybe(getValue())
.orElseThrow(() -> new RuntimeException("error"));
Maybe<T> peek(Consumer<T> consumer)
Provide the value within the Maybe, if it exists, to the Consumer, and returns this Maybe. Conceptually equivalent to the idea of ifPresent(...).
final Maybe<Integer> maybe = Maybe.maybe(getValue())
.peek(v -> v.foo());
void ifNothing(Runnable runnable)
Run the runnable if the Maybe is a Nothing, otherwise do nothing.
Maybe.maybe(getValue())
.ifNothing(() -> doSomething());
Stream<T> stream()
Converts the Maybe into either a single value stream or an empty stream.
final Stream<Integer> stream = Maybe.maybe(getValue())
.stream();
boolean isJust()
Checks if the Maybe is a Just.
final boolean isJust = Maybe.maybe(getValue())
.isJust();
boolean isNothing()
Checks if the Maybe is Nothing.
final boolean isNothing = Maybe.maybe(getValue())
.isNothing();
Optional<T> toOptional()
Convert the Maybe to an Optional.
final Optional<Integer> optional = Maybe.maybe(getValue())
.toOptional();Result
Allows handling error conditions without the need to catch exceptions.
When a Result is returned from a method it will contain one of two values.
Either the actual result, or an error in the form of an Exception. The
exception is returned within the Result and is not thrown.
import net.kemitix.mon.result.Result;
import java.io.IOException;
class ResultExample implements Runnable {
public static void main(final String[] args) {
new ResultExample().run();
}
@Override
public void run() {
Result.of(() -> callRiskyMethod())
.flatMap(state -> doSomething(state))
.match(
success -> System.out.println(success),
error -> error.printStackTrace()
);
}
private String callRiskyMethod() throws IOException {
return "I'm fine";
}
private Result<String> doSomething(final String state) {
return Result.of(() -> state + ", it's all good.");
}
}
In the above example the string "I'm fine" is returned by
callRiskyMethod() within a successful Result. The .flatMap() call,
unwraps that Result and, as it is a success, passes the contents to
doSomething(), which in turn returns a Result that the .flatMap() call
returns. match() is called on the Result and, being a success, will call
the success Consumer.
Had callRiskyMethod() thrown an exception it would have been caught by the
Result.of() method which would have then been an error Result. An error
Result would have ignored the flatMap and skipped to the match() when it
would have called the error Consumer.
Result is a Monad
package net.kemitix.mon;
import net.kemitix.mon.result.Result;
import org.assertj.core.api.WithAssertions;
import org.junit.Test;
import java.util.function.Function;

private final Function<Integer, Result<Integer>> f = i -> r(i * 2);
private final Function<Integer, Result<Integer>> g = i -> r(i + 6);
private static Result<Integer> r(int v) {
return Result.ok(v);
}
@Test
public void leftIdentity() {
assertThat(
r(v).flatMap(f)
).isEqualTo(
f.apply(v)
);
}
@Test
public void rightIdentity() {
assertThat(
r(v).flatMap(x -> r(x))
).isEqualTo(
r(v)
);
}
@Test
public void associativity() {
assertThat(
r(v).flatMap(f).flatMap(g)
).isEqualTo(
r(v).flatMap(x -> f.apply(x).flatMap(g))
);
}
}Static Constructors
static <T> Result<T> of(Callable<T> callable)

Allows handling a value that can be one of two types, a left value/type or a right value/type.
When an Either is returned from a method it will contain either a left or a
right.
Where the Either is used to represent success/failure, the left case is, by
convention, used to indicate the error, and right the success. An alternative
is to use the Result which more clearly distinguishes success from failure.
