List.Nonempty.Ancillary

The List.Nonempty.Ancillary module provides additional convenience functions not found in mgold/elm-nonempty-list for dealing with non-empty lists.

Getting, Setting, and Updating

setAt : Int -> a -> Nonempty a -> Nonempty a

Given an index and a value, replace the element at that index with the given value. Indices are modulus the length of the list, so out-of-range errors cannot occur; this means that negative indices are supported, e.g. -1 to set the last element. This is consistent with the behavior of List.Nonempty.get

Note that this is not particularly efficient (iterating over the entire list multiple times) and should probably not be used for very large lists. Arrays are of course preferable in such cases.

import List.Nonempty exposing (Nonempty(..))


setAt 1 "er" <| Nonempty "foo" [ "bar", "baz" ]
--> Nonempty "foo" [ "er", "baz" ]


setAt 6 "yi" <| Nonempty "foo" [ "bar", "baz" ]
--> Nonempty "yi" [ "bar", "baz" ]


setAt -1 "san" <| Nonempty "foo" [ "bar", "baz" ]
--> Nonempty "foo" [ "bar", "san" ]
updateAt : Int -> (a -> a) -> Nonempty a -> Nonempty a

Given an index and an update function, replace the value at that index by calling the update function. Indices are modulus the length of the list, so out-of-range errors cannot occur; this means that negative indices are supported, e.g. -1 to update the last element. This is consistent with the behavior of List.Nonempty.get

Note that this is not particularly efficient (iterating over the entire list multiple times) and should probably not be used for very large lists. Arrays are of course preferable in such cases.

import List.Nonempty exposing (Nonempty(..))


updateAt 1 ((+) 1) <| Nonempty 1 [ 1, 1 ]
--> Nonempty 1 [ 2, 1 ]


updateAt 6 ((+) 1) <| Nonempty 1 [ 1, 1 ]
--> Nonempty 2 [ 1, 1 ]


updateAt -1 ((+) 1) <| Nonempty 1 [ 1, 1 ]
--> Nonempty 1 [ 1, 2 ]

Folds

foldr : (a -> b -> b) -> b -> Nonempty a -> b

Reduce a non-empty list from the right.

import List.Nonempty exposing (Nonempty(..))


foldr (+) 0 <| Nonempty 1 [ 2, 3 ]
--> 6


foldr (::) [] <| Nonempty 1 [ 2, 3 ]
--> [ 1, 2, 3 ]
foldr1 : (a -> a -> a) -> Nonempty a -> a

Reduce a non-empty list from the right, treating the last element of the list as the starting value.

import List.Nonempty exposing (Nonempty(..))


foldr1 (-) <| Nonempty 1 [ 2, 3, 4 ]
--> -2


foldr1 (++) <| Nonempty "a" [ "b", "c" ]
--> "abc"

Searching

find : (a -> Bool) -> Nonempty a -> Maybe a

Find the first element that satisfies a predicate and return Just that element, or if none match, return Nothing.

import List.Nonempty exposing (Nonempty(..))


find (\i -> i > 3) <| Nonempty 2 [ 4, 6, 8 ]
--> Just 4


find (\i -> i > 3) <| Nonempty 0 [ 1, 2, 3 ]
--> Nothing
count : (a -> Bool) -> Nonempty a -> Int

Return the number of elements in the list that satisfy a given predicate.

import List.Nonempty exposing (Nonempty(..))


count ((==) Nothing << String.toInt) <| Nonempty "1" [ "yi", "2", "er", "3", "san" ]
--> 3

Maybes

combine : Nonempty (Maybe a) -> Maybe (Nonempty a)

If every Maybe in the non-empty list is Just a, then return a list of all the unwrapped values. If one or more elements are Nothing, then the entire output will be Nothing.

import List.Nonempty exposing (Nonempty(..))


combine (Nonempty (Just 1) [ Just 2, Just 3 ])
--> Just (Nonempty 1 [ 2, 3 ])


combine (Nonempty (Just 1) [ Nothing, Just 3 ])
--> Nothing
traverse : (a -> Maybe b) -> Nonempty a -> Maybe (Nonempty b)

Map a function over every element in the non-empty list. If every function call returns Just a, then return a list of all the values. If one or more function call returns Nothing, then the entire output will be Nothing.

import List.Nonempty exposing (Nonempty(..))


traverse List.head (Nonempty [ 1 ] [ [2], [ 3, 4 ] ])
--> Just (Nonempty 1 [ 2, 3 ])


traverse List.head (Nonempty [ 1 ] [ [], [ 3, 4 ] ])
--> Nothing

JSON Decoders/Encoders

The module provides two sets of JSON decoder/encodes. In the first, decodeArray/encodeArray, the non-empty list is represented as a standard JSON array. Decoding an empty array will fail, and encoding to an empty array will never happen.

In the second, decodeObject/encodeObject, the non-empty list is explicitly represented as an object with two keys: "head" (containing the first element) and "tail", containing a (possibly empty) array of the rest of the elements:

{ "head": x1
, "tail": [x2, x3]
}
decodeArray : Decoder a -> Decoder (Nonempty a)

Decode a non-empty list from a JSON array, failing if it is empty.

import List.Nonempty exposing (Nonempty(..))
import Json.Decode as Decode


Decode.decodeString (decodeArray Decode.int) "[1,2,3]"
--> Ok (Nonempty 1 [ 2, 3 ])
Decode.decodeString (decodeArray Decode.int) "[]"
    |> Result.toMaybe
--> Nothing
encodeArray : (a -> Value) -> Nonempty a -> Value

Turn a non-empty list into a JSON array.

import List.Nonempty exposing (Nonempty(..))
import Json.Encode as Encode


Encode.encode 0 (encodeArray Encode.int <| Nonempty 1 [ 2, 3 ])
--> "[1,2,3]"
decodeObject : Decoder a -> Decoder (Nonempty a)

Decode a non-empty list from a JSON object of the form:

{ "head": x1
, "tail": [x2, x3]
}




import List.Nonempty exposing (Nonempty(..))
import Json.Decode as Decode


Decode.decodeString (decodeObject Decode.int) "{ \"head\": 1, \"tail\": [2,3] }"
--> Ok (Nonempty 1 [ 2, 3 ])
encodeObject : (a -> Value) -> Nonempty a -> Value

Encode a non-empty list into a JSON object of the form:

{ "head": x1
, "tail": [x2, x3]
}


import List.Nonempty exposing (Nonempty(..))
import Json.Encode as Encode


Encode.encode 0 (encodeObject Encode.int <| Nonempty 1 [ 2, 3 ])
--> "{\"head\":1,\"tail\":[2,3]}"

Random

shuffle : Nonempty a -> Generator (Nonempty a)

Shuffle the non-empty list. This of course has no effect on a list of one element.

sequenceGenerators : Nonempty (Generator a) -> Generator (Nonempty a)

Given a non-empty list random generators, turn them into a generator that returns a non-empty list.
