Last

Last a = Last (Maybe a)

Last is a Monoid that will always return the last, non-empty value when two Last instances are combined. Last is able to be a Monoid because it implements a Maybe under the hood. The use of the Maybe allows for an empty Last to be represented with a Nothing.

Last can be constructed with either a value or a Maybe instance. Any value passed to the constructor will be wrapped in a Just to represent a non-empty instance of Last. Any Maybe passed to the constructor will be lifted as is, allowing the ability to "choose" a value based on some disjunction.

While most Monoids only provide a valueOf function used for extraction, Last takes advantage of its underlying Maybe to provide an additional option method. Using valueOf will extract the underlying Maybe, while option will extract the underlying value in the Maybe, using the provided default value when the underlying Maybe is a Nothing instance.

Construction

Last :: a -> Last (Maybe a)

Last :: Maybe a -> Last (Maybe a)

A Last instance can be constructed by passing either a direct (unwrapped) value a or a Maybe a to the constructor. When a direct value is passed, the constructor will always wrap the value in a Just and return a new Last Just a instance.

Alternatively, by passing a Maybe a, the user can programmatically provide an empty case to a given Last by passing a Nothing.

const { Just, Nothing } = Maybe

Last(Just([ 1, 2, 3 ]))

//=> Last( Just [ 1, 2, 3 ] )

Last(Nothing())

//=> Last( Nothing )

Last(null)

//=> Last( Just null )

Last(false)

//=> Last( Just false )

Constructor Methods

empty

Last.empty :: () -> Last a

empty provides the identity for the Monoid in that when the value it provides is concated to any other value, it will return the other value. In the case of Last the result of empty is Nothing. empty is available on both the Constructor and the Instance for convenience.

empty()

//=> Last( Nothing )

Last(3)

.concat(empty())

//=> Last( Just 3 )

empty()

.concat(Last(3))

//=> Last( Just 3 )

Instance Methods

equals

Last a ~> b -> Boolean

Used to compare the underlying values of two Last instances for equality by value, equals takes any given argument and returns true if the passed argument is a Last with an underlying value equal to the underlying value of the Last the method is being called on. If the passed argument is not a Last or the underlying values are not equal, equals will return false.

//=> false

.equals({ a: 5 })

//=> false

Last(95)

.equals(95)

//=> false

Last(95)

.equals(Maybe.of(95))

//=> false

concat

Last a ~> Last a -> Last a

concat is used to combine two Semigroups of the same type under an operation specified by the Semigroup. In the case of Last, it will always provide the last non-empty value. All previous non-empty values will be thrown away and will always result in the last non-empty value.

import Last from 'crocks/Last'

import concat from 'crocks/pointfree/concat'

const a = Last('a')

const b = Last('b')

const c = Last('c')

a.concat(b)

//=> Last( Just "b" )

b.concat(a)

//=> Last( Just "a" )

concat(c, concat(b, a))

//=> Last( Just "c" )

concat(concat(c, b), a)

//=> Last( Just "c" )

concat(concat(a, b), c)

//=> Last( Just "a" )

option

Last a ~> a -> a

Last wraps an underlying Maybe which provides the ability to option out a value in the case of an empty instance. Just like option on a Maybe instance, it takes a value as its argument. When run on an empty instance, the provided default will be returned. If option is run on a non-empty instance however, the wrapped value will be extracted not only from the Last but also from the underlying Just.

If the underlying Maybe is desired, the valueOf method can be used and will return the Maybe instead.

valueOf

Last a ~> () -> Maybe a

valueOf is used on all crocks Monoids as a means of extraction. While the extraction is available, types that implement valueOf are not necessarily a Comonad. This function is used primarily for convenience for some of the helper functions that ship with crocks. Calling valueOf on a Last instance will result in the underlying Maybe.

Transformation Functions

eitherToLast

crocks/Last/eitherToLast

eitherToLast :: Either b a -> Last a

eitherToLast :: (a -> Either c b) -> a -> Last b

Used to transform a given Either instance to a Last instance, eitherToLast will turn a Right instance into a non-empty Last, wrapping the original value contained in the Right. All Left instances will map to an empty Last, mapping the originally contained value to a Unit. Values on the Left will be lost and as such this transformation is considered lossy in that regard.

Like all crocks transformation functions, eitherToLast has two possible signatures and will behave differently when passed either an Either instance or a function that returns an instance of Either. When passed the instance, a transformed Last is returned. When passed an Either returning function, a function will be returned that takes a given value and returns a Last.

firstToLast

firstToLast :: First a -> Last a

firstToLast :: (a -> First b) -> a -> Last b

Used to transform a given First instance to a Last instance, firstToLast will turn a non-empty instance into a non-empty Last wrapping the original value contained within the First. All empty instances will map to an empty Last.

Like all crocks transformation functions, firstToLast has two possible signatures and will behave differently when passed either a First instance or a function that returns an instance of First. When passed the instance, a transformed Last is returned. When passed a First returning function, a function will be returned that takes a given value and returns a Last.

maybeToLast

maybeToLast :: Maybe a -> Last a

maybeToLast :: (a -> Maybe b) -> a -> Last b

Used to transform a given Maybe instance to a Last instance, maybeToLast will turn a Just into a non-empty Last instance, wrapping the original value contained within the Last. All Nothing instances will map to an empty Last instance.

This function is available mostly for completion sake, as Last can always take a Maybe as its argument during construction. So while there is not a real need for this to be used for transforming instances, it can come in handy for lifting Maybe returning functions.

Like all crocks transformation functions, maybeToLast has two possible signatures and will behave differently when passed either a Maybe instance or a function that returns an instance of Maybe. When passed the instance, a transformed Last is returned. When passed a Maybe returning function, a function will be returned that takes a given value and returns a Last.
