7. A QUESTION 㺔
9. THE PROBLEM val x: Future[List[Int]] = ??? futureList.map(list => list.map(f)) ^ ^ |________________| 2 maps 1 function
10. CAN WE DO BETTER? ද࠺ͽͣ΀͚ͶΣ͜͡?
11. INDENT! futureList.map { list => list.map(f) } αЀϔЀϕͭͼΕΡ
12. FUNCTOR trait Functor[F[_]] { def map[A, B](fa: F[A])(f: A => B): F[B] }
13. FUNCTOR OF FUTURE val futureF = new Functor[Future] { def map[A, B](fa: Future[A])(f: A => B): Future[B] = fa.map(f) }
14. future.map(f) list.map(f) | | | | Functor[Future].map(future)(f) Functor[List].map(list)(f)
15. futureList.map(f) // not really valid scala | // but you get the point | Functor[Future[List]].map(futureList)(f)
16. IN PRACTICE // create a `Functor[Future[List]]` val futureListF = Functor[Future].compose(Functor[List]) val data: Future[List[Int]] = Future(List(1, 2, 3)) // only one map! futureListF.map(data)(_ + 1) // Future(List(2, 3, 4)) 䋚檭΄πЄϖ

18. ABOUT FLATTENING List(1, 2, 3).map(_ + 1) // List(2, 3, 4) List(1, 2, 3).map(n => List.fill(n)(n)) // List(List(1), List(2, 2), List(3, 3, 3)) List(1, 2, 3).map(n => List.fill(n)(n)).flatten // List(1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3) ف΢ৼ΁΀͹͵ϷφϕΨϢ϶ϐϕ΁ͯΡ
19. FLATMAP flatten ∘ map = flatMap so these are the same List(1, 2, 3).map(n => List.fill(n)(n)).flatten List(1, 2, 3).flatMap(n => List.fill(n)(n))
20. IN OTHER WORDS when life gives you F[F[A]] you probably wanted flatMap e.g. val f: Future[Future[Int]] = Future(42).map(x => Future(24)) val g: Future[Int] = Future(42).flatMap(x => Future(24)) F[F[A]] Ψ憎͵Ο flatMap ;௏͜͠
21. THE 'M' WORD trait Monad[F[_]] { def pure[A](a: A): F[A] def map[A, B](fa: F[A])(f: A => B): F[B] def flatMap[A, B](fa: F[A])(f: A => F[B]): F[B] } ̿ϯ̀ͽতΔΡίϹ
22. THE 'M' WORD trait Monad[F[_]] { def pure[A](a: A): F[A] def map[A, B](fa: F[A])(f: A => B): F[B] def flatMap[A, B](fa: F[A])(f: A => F[B]): F[B] }
23. A LESS CONTRIVED EXAMPLE case class User(name: String) case class Address(city: String) Θ͜੝ͭ䋚አጱ΀ֺ
24. A LESS CONTRIVED EXAMPLE def getUser(name: String): Future[User] def getAddress(user: User): Future[Address] val getCity: Future[String] = getUser("Gabriele").flatMap( gab => getAddress(gab).map( address => address.city ) )
25. LET'S COMPREHEND THIS val getCity: Future[String] = for { gab <- getUser("Gabriele") address <- getAddress(gab) } yield address.city for ٖ۱ᤒ懿ͽ䨗ͧΡ
26. LESSONS monads allow sequential execution monads can squash F[F[A]] into F[A] ϯϗϖ΅᭑ེ䋚ᤈΨݢᚆ;ͯΡ ϯϗϖ΅ `F[F[A]]` Ψ `F[A]` ΁ͺΌͯͩ;͢ͽͣΡ

29. WHAT ABOUT F[G[X]] F[G[X]] ΄䁰ݳ΅?
30. BACK TO THE REAL WORLD def getUser(name: String): Future[User] // <- really? def getAddress(user: User): Future[Address] 䋚ֺͽᘍ͞ͼΕΔͭΝ͜
31. BACK TO THE REAL WORLD def getUser(name: String): Future[Option[User]] // better def getAddress(user: User): Future[Option[Address]] ΞΠᜉֺ͚΁΀ΠΔͭ͵
32. UH, OH... val city: Future[Option[String]] = for { gab <- getUser("Gabriele") address <- getAddress(gab) // FAIL } yield address.city ०䤂ͭͼͭΔ͚Δͯ
33. EVENTUALLY val city: Future[Option[String]] = for { gab <- getUser("Gabriele") address <- getAddress(gab.get) // } yield address.get.city // get ֵ͹͵ΟύϮ
34. OR... val city: Future[Option[String]] = for { maybeUser <- getUser("Gabriele") maybeCity <- maybeUser match { case Some(user) => getAddress(user).map(_.map(_.city)) case None => Future.successful(None) } } yield maybeCity ;͚ͩ͜;΅...
35. WHAT WE WOULD REALLY WANT val city: Future[Option[String]] = for { gab <- maybeUser <- getUser("Gabriele") address <- maybeAddress <- getAddress(gab) } yield address.city ཿͭ͡͹͵Θ΄
36. futureUser.flatMap(f) maybeUser.flatMap(f) | | | | Monad[Future].flatMap(futureUser)(f) Monad[Option].flatMap(maybeUser)f)
37. futureMaybeUser.flatMap(f) | | Monad[Future[Option]].flatMap(f)

72. PERSONAL TIPS πϑ
73. TIP #1 stacking more than two monads gets bad really quickly 2ͺզӤ΄ϯϗϖΨ坌ΕӤͨΡ;ᬔͥ΀Ρ
74. EXAMPLE1 val effect: OptionT[EitherT[Task, String, ?], String] = for { first <- readName.liftM[EitherT[?[_], String, ?]].liftM[OptionT] last <- readName.liftM[(EitherT[?[_], String, ?]].liftM[OptionT] name <- if ((first.length * last.length) < 20) OptionT.some[EitherT[Task, String, ?], String](s"$first $last") else OptionT.none[EitherT[Task, String, ?], String] _ <- (if (name == "Daniel Spiewak") EitherT.fromDisjunction[Task](\/.left[String, Unit]("your kind isn't welcome here")) else EitherT.fromDisjunction[Task](\/.right[String, Unit](()))).liftM[OptionT] _ <- log(s"successfully read in $name").liftM[EitherT[?[_], String, ?]].liftM[OptionT] } yield name 1 from djspiewak/emm
75. TIP #2 keep your transformers for youself def publicApiMethod(x: String): OptionT[Future, Int] = def publicApiMethod(x: String): Future[Option[Int]] = by the way val x: OptionT[Future, Int] = OptionT(Future(Option(42))) val y: Future[Option[Int]] = x.value // Future(Option(42)) ϯϗϖ䄜䟵ৼ΅ API ΁ڊͫ΀͚Ξ͜΁ͯΡ
76. TIP #3 ! Perf! Wrapping/unwrapping isn't cheap, so if you're concerned about performance, consider benchmarking your code. ᯿͚πЄϖ΀΄ͽ௔ᚆΨ䶲΁ͯΡ΀ΟϦЀώϫЄμΨݐΡ
