I'm new to lens and having trouble implementing the Zoom instance for this type:
newtype MyStateT s m a = MyStateT
{ unMyStateT :: ReaderT (IORef s) m a
} deriving (Functor, Applicative, Monad, MonadIO)
instance (MonadIO m) => MonadState s (MyStateT s m) where
get = MyStateT $ ReaderT $ liftIO . readIORef
put x = MyStateT $ ReaderT $ \ref -> liftIO $ writeIORef ref x
I've been trying to make a new IORef with the lens substate, run the ReaderT on that substate, and then grab the changed substate and replace it in the main IORef:
type instance Zoomed (MyStateT s m) = Focusing m
instance (Monad m) => Zoom (MyStateT s m) (MyStateT t m) s t where
zoom l (MyStateT r) =
MyStateT $ ReaderT $ \ref -> do
s <- liftIO $ readIORef ref
ref' <- liftIO $ newIORef $ s ^. l
let v = runReader r ref'
subS' <- liftIO $ readIORef ref'
let s' = s & l .~ subS'
liftIO $ writeIORef ref s'
return v
l
seems to be different from a normal lens so ^.
and .~
doesn't compile with it and I get errors like this:
• Couldn't match type ‘Focusing m c t’ with ‘Const s t’
Expected type: Getting s t s
Actual type: LensLike' (Zoomed (MyStateT s m) c) t s
• Couldn't match type ‘Focusing m c t’ with ‘Identity t’
Expected type: ASetter t t s s
Actual type: LensLike' (Zoomed (MyStateT s m) c) t s
Can anyone help me get this Zoom instance to work properly? Thanks!
