Monocle · Access and transform immutable data

Access and transform immutable data

Monocle is a Scala library which offers a simple yet powerful API to access and transform immutable data.

import monocle.syntax.all._

val user = User("Anna", Address(12, "high street"))

user.focus(_.name).replace("Bob")
// res: User = User("Bob", Address(12, "high street"))

user.focus(_.address.streetName).modify(_.toUpperCase)
// res: User = User("Anna", Address(12, "HIGH STREET"))

user.focus(_.address.streetNumber).get
// res: Int = 12
